O Happy Day

I'm more relieved than anything right now. It's a cloudy, overcast day, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm in Nassau in the spring, it's about 85 balmy degrees outside, the sun is shining in a cloudless sky, and the "Bahamian jacks" are "schooling" around my ankles in the crystal clear water.

As noted already, Tim Kaine and Jon Corzine both won and are now governors-elect in Virginia and New Jersey, respectively.

Also, Ron Smith and Greg Caiola are now newly-elected members of the Lower Makefield Board of Supervisors. Great work, guys!

Congratulations also to my fellow township residents who did the right thing. Ron and Greg will work with Steve Santarsiero to form a Democratic majority on the five-member board and work with Republicans Pete Stainthorpe and Grace Godshalk to help us all make Lower Makefield the best place that we can for our families and our future.

This isn't a time for partisan gloating. This is a time for reaching out to each other to try and get things done together. That being said, though, I should express my eternal relief that Fred Allan and Darwin Dobson will now have to pack up those obnoxious blue and white billboards of theirs and save them for another day which, hopefully, will never come. Also, it was good that Gary Cruzan made a respectable showing, since, at another time in different circumstances, he could run again, win, and serve the township also.

So now it's done, and it's all good. Thank the Lord.

Now, as far as I'm concerned, we can rest up for a few months and gradually prepare for the next goal, which can be summed up in four words:

Little Ricky, you're next! Also, Fitz's "green" credentials are solid, but aside from that, he's got a lot of problems (a big one of which is detailed here).

Update 11/8: Silly me...forgot to mention that Ahh-nold's ballot initiatives all lost in CA, as well as the fact that the eight knuckleheads on the Dover, PA schoolboard who wanted "intelligent design" to be taught as science were all voted off the board yesterday. Well, I'll be a "monkey's uncle" (too easy...sorry).

Update 11/10: Bravo, Robert Scheer! (man, did he get old...)
