1. Libertarians did no worse than usual.
2. Now Republicans know what we feel like every election.
3. I was getting bored with the Republicans’ antics. Now we have a new cast of characters. This is sort of like the occasional cast change at Saturday Night Live.
4. We won’t have to hear the Republicans’ stupid mantras about “family values” and gay marriage for a while.
5. The overwrought reactions, apoplexy, and hair-pulling some are displaying today helps you identify which of your friends are just a bit too much into the Republican Party (and activism in general).
6. The Dem’rats will get the blame for the upcoming recession.
7. The Rapture must almost be here.
8. The next episode of Battlestar Galactica is this Friday!
9. Leonard Peikoff will enjoy his coffee this morning.
10. It assuages the guilt of those of us who are not activists–it wouldn’t have mattered!***
And yet more good things, sent in by readers:
11. Maybe this will shut up those annoying libertarians who say America is “basically a libertarian nation.”
12. What? Huh? There was an election?
13. I can’t wait to hear who Krugman blames for the economy now.
14. Given that the Dems have forgotten more about how to waste money than the Repugs have ever learned (even with Bush spending like a drunken sailor) the next few years of spending orgy should just about be enough to break the bank finally. (Oh cr*p, am I stocked up on ammo?)
15. With the Dem’rats controlling the House, maybe the safety gate will be re-installed on the Oval Office — every time Bush leaves, he says something stupider than the last time. (Wait. Maybe that’s not so good.)
16. With so many Repugs legislators out of a job, more of them can finally fulfill a lifelong dream, and go hunting with Cheney.
17. Rumsfeld resigned.
18. Robert Gates, Bush 41’s CIA director takes over Defense—adult supervision.
19. Bush will have to accomodate to Bakers’ commission.
20. Democrats will have an opportunity to present their best suggestions…which will alienate voters.
21. Bush will have to answer for intelligence issues questioned by an hostile opposition.
22. The GOP leadership in both chambers will be shaken up.
23. Rick “Islamo-Fascist” Santorum isn’t Senator.
