Wwwwhhhoooooooaassss Mmmmeeeeeeeeee!
Oh me oh my, my left leaning-ness has been repudiated and I stand before you (textually) a humbled and defeated occasional blogger. Clearly, I have been wrong, wrong, wrong on every thought and abstract stand I have ever taken. Our two-year, nightmare, liberal, apocalypse has finally been dealt it's death blow as the right (as in correct) people have stormed from sea to shining sea and have taken the country back. They have saved us from ourselves and our tendency to socialize and re-distribute wealth to all the poor minorities and illegal aliens and stopped us from trying to confiscate all the guns from upstanding, law abiding, white folk. They have saved us from implementing health care and made us realize it's not the insurance companies' fault that they are raising rates, it's the liberal-stupid-democruds who MADE them do that. Now we know as we heard America's primal scream loud and clear last night.
Gosh, I am actually relieved! Not unlike an abused spouse is relieved that they didn't have to tell the authorities anything when they responded to all the screaming and broken glass at our trailer, we don't have to face up to this radical, horrible, terrible idea of implementing some highly compromised pseudo-changes to our public policy. And instead we can just continue fucking over everybody so the rich can keep getting richer and everyone else can while their days away looking for their bootstraps to pull themselves up by. PHEW!
Things are really going to get better right away too! Just as soon as this next lame duck session oozes on by we can get to the syrupy goodness of:
*affects robot voice* Fiscal sanity. Ending Drunken Sailor Spending. Shrink the size of government. Make deficit smaller. Stop out-of-control government.
How, you may ask? Why, they will cut discretionary spending! More specifically...
Fiscal sanity. Ending Drunken Sailor Spending. Shrink the size of government. Make deficit smaller. Stop out-of-control government.
It is very clear on the agenda:
Fiscal sanity. Ending Drunken Sailor Spending. Shrink the size of government. Make deficit smaller. Stop out-of-control government.
Still don't see the light, Perhaps you should look at the bullet points?
*Fiscal sanity.
*Ending Drunken Sailor Spending.
*Shrink the size of government.
*Make deficit smaller.
*Stop out-of-control government.
Annnd that'll do it! Well, that and maybe an investigation or two, or four...And they shall be very serious uses of money and smaller government time! Surely, things are on the up and up and jobs, jobs, jobs for all...perhaps in the new, smaller government!
In all seriousness, while I can't say that I am happy or ecstatic about the regaining of the house last night, I can't say I am all that sad. Now those folks will actually have to do stuff. Come up with policies, attempt to implement something beyond well organized election cycles and talking points and so forth. Somehow I have a hard time believing they will be all that successful especially with super insane types like Rand Paul involved, though it does seem he has been bought and sold too. We will just have to see; will this be a new era of partisan compromise to a better tomorrow? Will it be another late 1990's like era of subpoenas and empty scandals filled with loads of mock outrage and impeachment attempts? Or will it be an intensified gridlock of do nothing but bitch and moan and filibuster and then another pendulum swing come 2012?
Maybe it will be all three!
