No, no no – it’s “Priscilla Lord Faris”.\u00a0 But with a name like that, who could resist?<\/p>\n

She’s the daughter of Miles Lord, the Minnesota judge who was to the law what Mitch Snyder was to rational social policy.<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah – and she’s mounting a primary challenge against Al Franken<\/a>.<\/p>\n
