Once upon a time Pennsylvanian Republican Senator Rick Santorum warned against allowing gay marriage because it would lead to, amongst other things, "man on dog sex". In the just-completed elections, lil Ricky suffered a curb-stomping 60%-40% defeat (or thereabouts). This song seems appropriate. It's a lovely little ballad by the Doug Anthony Allstars. Caution: Lyrics are not work-safe.

I know that magnanimity is supposed to be a good thing - but with Bush's eager enablers losing the House of Representatives, and looking pretty sure to lose the Senate as well, all I can say is "buh-bye now, don't let the door hit your arse on the way out, you corrupt and useless pricks".

The way it's looking right now, the Republicans not only lost, but have failed to take a single House of Reps seat, Senate seat or state Governor position off the Democrats. According to James Carville, this is the first time in history a party's suffered a complete shut-out like this.

Bush is scheduled to have a press conference later today (US time). Spencer Ackerman suggests an excellent first question:
"Mr. President, you said last week that 'However they put it, the Democrat approach in Iraq comes down to this: The terrorists win and America loses.' Did the American people just vote for the terrorists last night?"

I don't usually care about politics, but I am *so* glad to see this happen to them. It's a great start, and the sooner Bush and his lackeys lose as much power as they possibly can, the better.

Santorum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santorum_(sexual_slang)) has been wiped off the Senate floor.

Casey's a lackluster embarrassment, but I'd much rather see nothing of substance for six years than be covered in the substance that is Santorum. And beside that, A loss to a broom with a paper-plate-and-crayon face is an especially embarrassing loss.
