Well... blast

On the good side, the single-party lock on executive and legislative branches has been broken. Excellent. That was entirely too lopsided.

On the bad side, a single party now controls (barely) both halves of the legislative branch... and in two years it's almost certain they'll hold the executive branch as well...

...and we'll be right back where we started. Crap. Watch the insanity begin again as The Other White Meat begins *their* feeding frenzy.

Can a brother get some *balance*??

All I can hope for is that in two years the Congress splits again.

Yeah, I know. Otherwise I'd've structured my post as more of an argument, instead of a rant. Or kept my mouth shut entirely. (OK, maybe not entirely. Not sure that's possible.)

Oh, and that NPR link was intended to point out the fact that after the elections, we have two "independent" Senators and _no_ independent Reps in Congress. Two. Out of five hundred thirty-five lawmakers, _two_ have no overt ties to the political machine. I forgot to replace the explanatory sentence after I deleted it.

Two!
