1. Not only Friday, but the Friday FOLLOWING election day.

On any Friday before election day, it might have hurt Democrats in blue states.

4. Did you happen to see Daily Show last night?

Jon Stewart named a few things that were done to help Democratic candidates. I should post it in videos, but here it is. (Risen was informative, too).

5. No surprise here. Endless war baby.

6. I was going to predict this before the election

but I kept my mouth shut. I didn't want to upset anyone.

But I figured that a Repub Congress would be needed to escalate the troop numbers.

9. I am not only not surprised, I would have been amazed

if it didn't happen.
