Say, why all the glum faces?

I would just like to congratulate the Democrats on their mid-term election success and in regaining control of the Senate and House. Yet lets not get too carried away now. On the same night several states voted, in their Christian and bigoted wisdom, to ban same sex marriage thereby establishing an oppressive and immoral law at the heart of America – a little strange for what is supposed to be the home of the free, no?

Secondly America has just, shuck horror, gained its first female leader of the house. And I have taken endless joy in watching the American media go nuts over this one. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. America will never, ever vote for a woman. They refuse to let woman hold simple admin posts at their local churches, now imagine their horror to wake up yesterday morning to find that ‘she of original sin’ is now third in line for the Presidency. I would just like give a warm and hearty laugh in the face of every Arkansan. Don’t choke on your biscuits and gravy.

Thirdly, and more serious now – while the American people have, at long last, fallen out of love with Bush yesterdays result seems to have been simply an anti-bush vote rather than a pro-democrat vote. And, quite frankly, who can blame them? The Democrats are a joke. It is typical of America that while European politicians are standing on each other’s toes trying to claim the moderate ‘middle ground’ those in America take great joy in running full pelt in opposite directions.

On one hand you have Christian-fascist Republicans taking great joy in watching black folk drown, breaking international laws with a speed that Osama himself would be proud of and denying the existence of global warming. On the other hand you have a bunch of totally lefty liberals demanding the full-scale withdrawal from one of the worlds most critical areas, ramming homosexual couples down the throats of right wing bigots and proposing that America stop its long love affair with the private sector and become a full blown welfare state.

While I would prefer to see a well led and middle of the road Democrat (or Republican) party that can keep the lid on America’s tendency to charge bible first into war zones - I don’t see that in today’s Democratic party. While they may now have control of both houses – what on earth are they going to do with them? I don’t think even they know.

And to make matters worse, who are the Democrats lining up to lead them?

Another woman! Ha. Not a chance.

Arnie!, cha cha cha!, Arnie! cha cha cha!, Arnie! Cha cha cha!
