The Genie's People Speak at the Polls

The peoples' Genie spoke yesterday. But will they keep speaking, or will the Genie ease back into the bottle?

After watching the cram-down of astronomically expensive legislation and the accompanying explosion in national debt, the people's Genie tipped over the bottle and came out. Then the Genie's people spoke with bold passion at the August town hall meetings.

As the fall approached, they kept speaking. They gathered at T.E.A. Party events along nationwide bus tours. They formed a huge crowd in Washington, D.C. on 9/12. They carried homemade signs in civil demonstrations in cities of all sizes across the land. Although photos of those signs seldom made it into the legacy media, we saw the tide of images spread across the internet.

To the media, it was just all so much sound and fury, signifying little...until yesterday. Yesterday the Genie's people spoke with their votes, and their language was conservative. Now we await the spin from those who have consistently discounted the Genie's impact.
