Every race I voted in is too close to call. Okay, the House was the only race I could vote in, and I live in the VA 11th, but still.
Gimme some milk.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm trying not to be pissed off at the results. We lost Feingold. Fucking Feingold! *sigh* And now I have to see that smarmy fuck, Sean Duffy, in the house for Wisconsin. If the Democratic candidate had been on The Real World, the Republicans would have eviscerated him or her. But no, nothing. We get this guy. Ugh.
And we have a governor with less experience than Sarah Palin. I like to think most of Wisconsin was drunk when they were voting.
But I'm wearing a derby t-shirt and harajuku socks so nobody is fucking with me today.

Okay, I am starting to make peace with the election results. It's not the first time I've been disappointed, and I am rarely this pleased with how my own state voted.
That's a great pic, bon bon.
Yay on the lack of debt, msbelle, but boo on the job front.

Woohoo, msbelle!!
The Chicago mayoral elections that stick in my mind are the first Harold Washington win and, of course, Jane Byrne's primary win against Michael Bilandic, which she won due to his messing up snow removal during the blizzard of '79, something no mayor since has ever done.
Seriously, if you want to see an impressive display of city battle planning, come to Chicago when there's a big snowstorm predicted. The head of Streets and San earns his money on those days.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
The Dems are basically being punished for being in power and not having fixed it. I don't think it's fair, but it's certainly predictable.
Except for the people who are punishing them for going too far in trying to fix it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Also, thanks for the condolences last night. I can be a little weird when it comes to mourning.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If you want to imagine what American politics will be like, think about Japan.... Japan had a remarkably stable leadership from the end of World War II until their bubble burst in the 1990s. As the country has stumbled over the last two decades, unable finally to extricate from its slump, it has suffered through a rapid of succession of leaders, several of whom, like Obama, have stirred hopes of renewal and reform, only to create disillusionment and despair within the electorate.... That kind of political instability is both cause and effect of Japan's inability to transform its economy and international relations to meet the challenges of a new century.
