Post Election '10

November 03, 2010
Echo Country den, midday, politics got me tapping these keys again!

Thanks for voting y'all. Things aint all bad. Maybe this allows people to decompress a bit before the next one. Maybe this actually helps our friendly leader keep office, due to the perception of balance and all. I'd even go so far as to estimate that not many of these Tea Partiers will stick around very long. And the ones that do might actually turn out to be different than the Bush Clan Rovians we've been used to. Or maybe they'll even actually be good--or at least genuine, and somewhat pure of motive--in their own right. And of course some are here doing their part to keep the ole Hilarity Train chug-chug-chugging along.

The few victories the blue team squeezed out were actually pretty nice ones, and if you voted for the blues here in California you should be real proud--if relieved--that we don't have a couple of ruthless tech execs lined up to run things right now. Not to mention we've got our own slick Mad Man Gavin Newsom, still poised to push progressive positions, entering into Phase 3 of his Master Plan.

Pot didn't pass, but be honest, you're high right now anyway, and you can rest assured that probably more than 50% of the people around you are too. If folks had come out this time like they came out two years ago, it probably would’ve passed, but no matter, it will someday. Meanwhile, life isn't too roughed up for us here on the West Coast. You kind of have to be smoking a bong on the corner, stopping traffic, selling pounds of it from a hefty sack to get in trouble for it here as it is, if I understand the present law correctly.

Okay, don’t fret, walk on…
