Al Frankin: Giant of the Senate; Al Frankin; 2017; Hachette Book Group; 394 pgs; bad index16/7/2017 Good Frankin fun. Not a lot new hear, but some fun stories. Fun fact: There are now more high school robotics teams than boy's varsity hockey teams in Minnesota. That is a good sign, especially for young girls. He makes the point that many feel correctly that the economy has left them behind; and that political system is broken and has left them behind, but incorrectly feel that all people in politics are equally to blame. Mitch McConnell et al have taken obstructionism and partisanship to the point of ignoring their actual jobs. The Dems are not entirely innocent but they are not to blame. The last quarter of the book was written post-Trump, so there are some good insights on all that. The index is barely more than a list of people mentioned in the book. But if you want a light read with a few jokes, it fills the bill.
