The good news is that the GOP is simply better at being the minority party. We never really got the hang of being in charge after 94.

The culture we're all immersed in bears a subtext that liberalism has a natural entitlement to power. Conservatives (non-liberals) are usurpers, and never really can legitimately exercise power, even if they by accident wound up with the most votes.

I see two years of quasi-parlimentary government, with a continuation of a judicial oligarchy as a backup means of staying in power. My biggest hope is that the RATS' moonbats won't be hushed, so we can see their treasonous lunacy on display every day.

Michigan voted to continue being #50 in terms of economic performance, and #1 in unemployment. The 800-pound gorilla in the living room that nobody dared mention was the public employee unions, which continue to grow and prosper at the expense of everything else.

Two small rays of hope were the near-landslide approval of the anti-affirmative-action constitutional ammendment (which the University of Michigan announced it will ignore), and the defeat of the ammendment that would build in inflation-proof funding increases for the teachers unions.

Oh, I think that will be a given. They'll be calling for Bush's impeachment by their new 'majority' in the Senate and House, and believing that the country must be behind them, because they so resoundingly defeated the Republicans, they won't let the Dems off the hook.

It will be an interesting two years until the next Presidential election.
