Former SNL funny man, Air America radio host, and current contender for the Minnesota Senate seat Al Franken has come up with his own unique plan for getting to know America better — at least as far at its tax laws are concerned.

The Democratic candidate for Senator of Minnesota has just announced he will be paying upwards of $70 thousand in back taxes in a total seventeen different states. For the moment Franken is blaming it on "bad advice from his accountant" because we're quite certain that's not something the IRS has ever heard before.
