I am watching with absolute glee as they realize that actions have consequences. They've been able to bus other people's kids to crappy schools, raise other people's taxes, and seize other people's property, all the while maintaining the arrogant and sanctimonious rhetoric that they are so famous for (anyone who heard Congressman Shays '[my Congresscritter] on Hannity yesterday knows what I mean).
