During last week’s commute I listened to Paul Krugman’s book called The Great Unraveling — one of many books detailing the incompetence and deceit of the Bush administration. It was hard to start the day listening to sometime that made me so made. I must say that last nights elections did a lot to ease the pain. The thing that amazes me the most is that with all the voting going on, there was not a single Republican gain in either the House, Senate or Governorships.

After the AP called VA for Webb, and the Dems had the 51 seats they needed for Senate control, I honored my working-class, Wisconsin roots by enjoying a nice cold beer. Today it is good to be a democrat!
