Man, it's like putting on cozy pajamas.

The imminent destruction of the human race has been postponed slightly by yesterday's election results. With the Democrats in charge of the House as well as the Senate, there is a chance that a few things will change around here. I mean, not that great a chance, because they're all still old white political guys, but a greater chance than there was this time last week.

All of that, plus Rumsfeld stepping down? Ladies and gentlemen, Christmas has come early to the great US and A*. Well, it's come for most of us, anyway. Stephen Colbert is none too happy. I took the liberty of transcribing his emotional breakdown from last night's Midterm Midtacular show because it made me giggle:

Tomorrow you're all going to wake up in a brave new world -- a world where the Constitution gets trampled by an army of terrorist clones, created in a stem cell research lab run by homosexual doctors who sterilize their instruments over burning American flags -- where tax-and-spend Democrats take all your hard earned money and use it to buy electric cars for National Public Radio, and teach evolution to illegal immigrants.

OH, AND EVERYBODY'S HIGH!!! WHOO!

Feels good to be a Donkey today, people. Even though I'm not a registered Dem, it works kind of like St. Patrick's Day. Today, everyone is a Democrat. Even you, Mr. President. And there's not a goddamn thing you can do about it.
