I wonder if I should take a moment to say something about the results of the midterm elections in America. I've never been very interested in politics, even of the Canadian variety. I know, very irresponsible of me. I guess I'm just a cynic at heart when it comes to politicians and the entire political process. It's easy to get disillusioned. But in any case, I am happy to see the Dems making the gains they are. It's very good to see them winning majority in the House. As for the Senate, I have a sneaking suspicion that the Republicans will win that one by a close margin, simply because the longer the decision making process takes, the more the conspiracy theorist within me jumps out and argues that dem corrupt Republicans are fudging the numbers for their own benefit. Like I said; I'm a cynic.
There is, however, one thing about these election results that truly makes me elated: Lady of the House, bitches. I'm referring to Nancy Pelosi making it as the first female House speaker. Frankly, it's about time. But they've come a long way, baby. ;)
(ETA: I was just informed that Rumsfeld has resigned. My friends seem to be quite happy with this turn of events.)
