a lot of political bullsh*t in the news
I am so glad that the election is all but over, (due respect for friends on the West Coast, Alaska and Hawaii).
There are winners and losers doing a lot of talking today, (not to mention the media whores who surely are on some sort of stimulant); most of what you here from either side is crap.
I would like to mention one noteworthy politician who is no longer in a leadership position, and to offer a word of praise for his demeanor in the aftermath of his undoing.
Following a bitter, divisive episode, he stood and asked for his former constituents to pull together and work as a people, rather than an ideological or political faction; calling on them to shake hands and to forgive each other.
None of this erases the legacy that he left for his constituency while he was in power, or even begins to negate the impact of his tenure in office.
But he is departing, (at least today), with some dignity.

It does feel good when the guy you voted against gets voted out of office. Kind of feels like you kicked his ass or something.
thanks for stopping by pud. yeah, elections are a time of too much emotion in the US, it is either the end of the world or the start of a new age....and it never pans out.

I worry a little bit that the next two years will be the "let's show everybody what a hoser GWB is" show on the Dem channel. They need to get something together, quick, show some progress, keep their mouths shut and let actions do the talking.
