Stealing the Senate
The Republicans, with good reason, had been planning to block the seating of Al Franken, who "won" in Minnesota through some seriously unconstitutional means. The democrats realizing that they had better hold off on this one, especially after all the stink they made with Al Gore in 2004. So, there are going to be a couple legal challenges, and since the nomination already rests on a unconstitutional (according to the state constitution) recount, who knows what the hell will happen.
At the same time, the Democratic party is so friggin screwed up, they have been planning to block the seating of a Democrat: Roland Burris. There is a good reason behind this one too, its because Burris was appointed to Barack-I-Will-Serve-Out-My-Term-Obama's seat by Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who basically auctioned off the seat.
How the hell we managed to get to the point that we elected an inexperienced and dangerous President with illusions of grandeur (he -- according to many sources -- has been trying to channel Lincoln, not to mention his love of the best thing in the world, himself) while in the middle of one of the most difficult international times in decades, I dont know. All I can hope is that in four years, we have a vaguely still moderately capitalist system, my health insurance is not BO Inc., and Obama has not stimulus packaged our way to a "lost decade."
By the way, how the hell are people buying into all the "new" and "fresh" Obama "miracle" when every damn person he appoints is either just taking up from 8 years ago, or actually a Bush appointee? (Oh, and not to mention that now the CIA and NSA will both be run by political appointees with no intelligence community experience.)
