Some further post-election thoughts

So apparently John Boehner is going to run a more bipartisan House than Pelosi did. Dunno how I feel about that, seeing as the Republicans got elected specifically to derail a disastrous Democrat/socialist agenda. There's such a thing as being a gracious winner. There's also such a thing as making damn sure that you fulfil your campaign promises.

Never forget, politicians, you owe more to your constituents than you do to your colleagues across the aisle.

For example, everybody on Capitol Hill is overpaid. Every single person. Time for that to change. Hell, Congress should have gotten a pay cut every time the economy got worse.

Finally, the President, who insists that the election wasn't a referendum on his policies, says that we can't afford two years of gridlock. Actually, between gridlock and increasing government, I'll take gridlock.
