    LOL I looked for it, but all I see right now is your sweaty fungus story waiting in the queue.

    The humor in this election as, both sides are trying to cast the results as a win for them. But, there was no blue wave, there was no red wave. The balance of power remains a pretty close thing, with the Dems making a little headway. Again, IMO, this isn't a good thing at the moment. The R's should have made that same headway. This time, at least - I don't want to see the R's holding too much power for very long either. Republicans know how to screw things up quite well, they just have different methods than the D's.

    Starting Score:    1  point
    Karma-Bonus Modifier   +1  
    Total Score:   2

    Need some moar time.

    The Rs have SCOTUS control for two years, and will be able to get other judicial nominees confirmed. And then they have the President. They are still in a great position.
