But I'm happy that you've come. You give me peace of mind. Now everyone should know that hope and change are dead. "Yes we can" is now all "I guess we sorta did", and that's all she wrote. Yay rain gods. Keep it somber, gloomy and morose. Send the kids to their rooms, and remind them that tomorrow's breakfast is gruel.
In California, I stayed home. Nobody deserved my vote so nobody got it. There is nobody who can fix this state, especially not Meg Whitman who just blew 120 million bucks. Freakin' idiot. So I'm one of the perverse who hopes that the fiscal collapse will be catastrophically swift and surprising. Like the blackouts last time. Like when Orange Country went broke. That's what it takes out here - constitutional crisis of mind blowing proportions. We've got Brown; we've got Boxer. Nothing changes except the intelligibility of gubernatorial sound bites.
The Spousal Unit doesn't watch the news. So I told her that weed is now legal in California. It doesn't change her attitude about her murky danky past. She's still don't ask don't tell. I thought I was in for an interesting conversation, but she's entirely too reasonable. So nothing changes there either. I wonder where the protest is going to be. Meh. The stoners didn't even show up at the polls. They'll sleep in tomorrow all the same.
There's only two people racing that I really cared about in this election. One was Allen West and the other was Barney Frank. Of course I wanted West to win and I wanted Frank to lose, but not so much the latter. I just really wanted to see if I could expect anything that vaguely resembles objective accountability from Washington. And what I got was politics as usual. Which is sad for America and sad for Allen West if the new House majority can't shake things up a bit. So I expect to be sad, yet for the moment I'm glad that West got his seat. I continue to be disgusted with Frank and his supporters who should be made to feel pain over the economic crisis we're in.
That's about all the noise I feel like making over this election. I'm glad it's over. Now, let the obstruction begin!
