I voted Tuesday with the same absence of enthusiasm I have for the past 20 years. Although most of my choices lost there are some really nice silver linings. Here they are:
This new Congress will be be mired in gridlock and as a conservative who believes government should not do much to interfere (particularly when it's agenda is to remake man in the image of social planners) with nature, I'm happy.
AIPAC's war in Ira
q will have to end. Democrats are as wrong on this war as Republicans. They support it - and never should have. Both parties are beholden to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. It is a very wealthy political/religious organization and dangerous to oppose. But neither side can deny that unhappiness with the war - not the "way it is being fought" but the war itself - is behind much of the outcome from Nov 7.

I like the thought of conservative Democrats. The radicals in that party - racists, ideologues, homosexual crusaders, anti-Christian censors, war-mongers will be checked - not only by a Republican president but by conservatives within their own party.
Prop 103 won in Arizona - making English the official language - by 74% to 26% - yeahhh!
