Schadenfreude

So ... looks like something positive may have happened tonight in electionland. The demopublicans took the House, and they may get the Senate. Regardless of whether or not the republicrats hold on in the Senate, we should be in for two years of bickering, investigating, name-calling, finger-pointing, and posturing.

Which is another way of saying that it will be very hard for Shrub and his christo-fascists to accomplish anything, yet it will be equally as hard for those who oppose him to promote their agenda in any meaningful way (as an aside, am I the only one who is saddened by the fact that American politics has pretty much degenerated into an endless tug-of-war between the christo-fascists and the socialists?).

However, gridlock is a good thing. A government in gridlock is a government that grows more slowly ... and that's a thought that should warm the heart of every working, wage-earning, tax-paying American.

I'll sleep better tonight.
