Tuesday Stuff

As I type this, Pat Toomey has just edged ahead of Joe Sestak 51-49 percent with 94 percent of the PA precincts reporting. And Corbett has won of course - hope you liked safe drinking water, because it could become a memory after he lets drillers bust the Marcellus Shale wide open.

And as for the media nitwits, I think I lost it for good when I heard Mary Matalin actually compare John Boehner to Tip O'Neill.

Also, after watching Rand Paul win in Kentucky, I now know that there are individuals in this country who would vote for the You Tube talking orange if it had an R next to its name.

Other news - Rush Holt won in NJ, thank goodness. However, both Alan Grayson and Tom Perriello lost (Grayson wasn't totally a surprise...the lesson there is that the Dems can't beat the "values" drum without it backfiring, like it did in the "Taliban Dan" Webster ad...is that fair? Of course not, but that's how many voters think, to the extent that they think at all).

So, in the first Citizens United election brought to you by the High Court of Hangin' Judge JR, the Repugs have officially taken over the House, and the Senate is up for grabs also (and how anyone in Wisconsin can look at themselves in the mirror for voting out Russ Feingold is something I will never know).

And worst of all, Mike Fitzpatrick's current margin of projected victory over Patrick Murphy is more than 10,000 votes, which would nullify the absentee ballot challenge (8,000 in question).

With all this in mind, I give you the following tune which captures this night pretty well - enjoy the ride. Hope this country enjoys two years of "Stockholm Syndrome" non-governance.

Suck on this, America.
