Elections...

Yay for Election Day 2010. Is this the first time in circa 15 years we've had split control of Congress? Either way, maybe now they'll learn to work together. Maybe, maybe not, but at least now no single power-intoxicated party can ram legislation down my throat. Instead, two power-intoxicated parties will barter with each other to ram legislation down my throat.

In all seriousness, I am a big fan of a split congress. Single-party congress is like giving power to a socially inept nerd (otherwise known as PolySci majors). Most all of us can't handle unchecked authority, and both parties have proven themselves overly eager to stab each other in the back if given the room to stretch their arms wide enough to strike. I hope good things come out of the next Congress. At least now we can say most everyone's interests are capable of being represented at the negotiation table.
