Election Overload

Oh my God, I have watched way too much election coverage tonight. After awhile I came to two important realizations:

Politics is truly a soap opera. There's a lot of noise, a lot of drama, but nothing really happens, and everyone at some point gets amnesia.

Realization #2:

Eugene Robinson and Deaf Frog Voice guy from The Bachelor have the exact same voice.



I voted. Weed lost, abortions won.

As everyone predicted, the Republicans dominated the night. They now have control of the House, but not control of the Senate.

So going back to my soap opera thing, after all the theatrics, how exactly does this change things?

According to the internet, in the past 2 years the House has passed 420 bills that the Senate has completely ignored. That's a shit load of bills. So what's this new Republican House gonna do, pass a thousand bills that get ignored?

Well, the one thing that's different is now the Democrats can't cram through those few bills that didn't get ignored. Okay. That's a big change for the better if you're a Republican. So really it's "yey for gridlock!"

So it is a win, for sure. But it seems like it's more about what they can stop the Democrats from doing, then what they can actually accomplish themselves. Which I'm sure for a lot of right wingers, is more than enough to be happy.

There is a drawback to that though. It's really easy being the guy on the sidelines saying no to everything and complaining. The Republicans have to do stuff now, and as my life has proven, that's a lot harder than doing nothing.

But that's just what everyone on TV told me. I'm sure it was a different story over on Fox News.


On a side political note, my friend @taraariano tweeted about something last night that I'm sure is going to be talked about. Apparently, George Bush told Matt Lauer that the worst moment of his Presidency was that whole Kanye West saying Bush hates black people thing.

Here's her tweet:

"I'm sure George W. Bush was hurt by Kanye or whatever, but worst moment of his Presidency? Does he know he was President in September 2001?"

But you know what this means, right?

Kanye's number 1 again, motherfuckers! He beat 9/11! I'm a let George Bush finish, but Kanye had the worst moment of all time!

He's on top of Billboard, Itunes, Bush's worst things ever list. He's taking down all haters, Jay Z, Eminem, Al Queda. You can't stop him.
