Post-Election Hangover
So, the 'Pubs got waxed.
The House will be Dem come January. The Senate is shaky - if Allen really does go down then the House and the Senate will be Dam - Oh, Joy.
It's not that the 'Pubs were all that much better than the Dems - they're not. Starting with all the advantages, they blew it. MORE discretionary spending, MORE bloated government bureaucracies, and MORE scandals.
Despite the claims of the Democrats, I forsee a head-long retreat from Iraq, leaving the Bad Guys (al Quaida franchises and associates) large and in charge in less than a year. Somalia will be solidly terrorista within the coming year. I expect Indonesia to go that way within five years. Guaranteed my taxes will go up, and restrictions on my personal freedoms (especially speech) will increase.
I forsee a Chinese proverb proving true for the United States in the near- and far-term future. Interesting times, indeed!
Closer to home, one of the Good Kennedy guys also went down to defeat. Out of about 2200 votes cast for the local School Board, Jim missed by about 85 - less than 4%. Rats.
Ah, well, so it goes.
In the meantime, I have an AutoIt script to polish up, and a little girl (8 years), a medium girl (12 years) and a big girl (I'm not suicidal!) to hug, and a trio of dogs to yell at. I'd best be about it.
