Ignore It

No matter what happens today, we will definitely be treated to the cool kids in the media telling us that the Democrats missed a major opportunity today. We will also hear how Karl Rove is an intergallactic genius because peasants with pitchforks didn't come to the white house and drag his boss out by his pubes.

Don't worry about it. If Democrats take the house by one seat, all the committee chairs change from nutcase gay bashers, racists, constitutional torchers and torturers to more sane people who don't wear tin foil on their heads. A minimum wage bill can acutally get to a vote. Rumsfield can be compelled to explain why we're still in Iraq 4 years after it was supposed to be a cakewalk. That is a victory, no matter what Rush Limbaugh says.
