I'm Overwhelmed with Joy.
Not really, but I am happy that the House of Republicans has, once again, become the House of Representatives (of big corporations). It's a step in the right direction.
And Rick Santorum is gone. That guy was a total ass. I'm celebrating in spirit with my not-insane-neighbors-to-the-east. Huzzah, Pennsylvaniah!
I'm glad that there are no casinos and that big tobaccie took a big hit on its ailing lungs. I'm happy that my conservative farmer Neybors finally voted for someone who wasn't a disgrace--though a common one--to our political institutions. "Zack Space! To the future!!!"
So, overall, I'm happy but still underwhelmed. There's still an appalling--appalling!!!--lack of women in power. Not that I want them there if they're Uncle Toms. Most women aren't, though, and tend to introduce bills concerning "women's" issues such as health care and wages and civil rights and families and the welfare of children. Narrow issues, to be sure....
That's all I've got right now. If I talk about politics too much, I tend to get pissed. I'm trying to change my attitude a little.
Hazzuh!

I join you in mild, underwhelmed celebration of some things that did NOT go down the political toilet. As much as the results themselves - the Ted Stricklands, the Sherrod Browns - I enjoyed hanging out with some homeboys to drink, discuss, and mock the talking heads on the tube. Maybe there's a blog post in that. Cheers!
