These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: Al Franken
Ending Fatigue: The 2009 Minnesota Senate race against Norm Coleman. The vote was ridiculously close, and the people in charge decided to bend over backwards to make sure nobody could possibly accuse them of corruption. This involved a recount in which every single questionable ballot was both posted on the internet and debated in court. Is a ballot still valid if the voter wrote in a vote for "Lizard People"?
Hilarious in Hindsight: Why Not Me? is about a tongue-in-cheek run for the White House; he's a Senator now...
And The Truth (with jokes) ends with a future letter to his grandchildren, dated 2015, detailing what happened in the since the book was published in 2005. Some of the things in the letter are obviously false (Bill Frist is the Republican nomination for president in 2008, and Karl Rove runs his campaign from prison because he punched a cop), but he also mentions a successful senate bid. Franken claims he didn't make the final decision to run for Senator until 2007.
