Caveat Emptor

That means "let the buyer beware" in Latin. Too bad it's not required on all political ads. Nancy Pelosi (in between ordering draperies) is busy telling us that "Democrats are ready to lead. We're prepared to govern. But that means in a bipartisan way." If they're so interested in bipartisanship, where has that bipartisanship been in the last 12 years? Was all the filibustering just my imagination?

And we now have Harry Reid as the Senate Majority Leader. The man who, unbeknownst to many, has been involved in ethically questionable land deals. Why do so few know about it? Because the MSM didn't make it a reporting priority. Scandals about Republicans take precedence in our biased big media.

Loony Cindy Sheehan is already calling for impeachment and imprisonment of President Bush, and her reaction to Donald Rumsfeld's resignation was caught on video.

This is what we have to look forward to. But then, I don't think I should be surprised. Most voters only pay attention to politics in the month or two preceding the election. Now that it's passed, they'll go back to paying more attention to the divorces of Britney Spears and Reese Witherspoon, worrying about whether or not Nicole Richie will drop dead of anorexia, and who the next American Idol will be.

I said this in an e-mail to some blogging pals:

As a group, the baby boomers (specifically the liberal ones) have done the most damage to our country than any other generation I can think of. Their so-called "feel good" policies have no basis in reality and have been very costly to everyone, especially to those the Dems profess to be representing (the poor, women, minorities, etc.).

These are the people who will be shaping our policies for the next two years.

When the tax cuts that the Republicans pushed through expire and the economy slows down, when yet another minimum wage hike is pushed through and unemployment goes up as a result, when taxes are raised in order to fund yet more programs that don't benefit those who pay for them, and when we pull out of Iraq and a greater bloodbath than we've seen thus far occurs, you'll know who to thank.

Yourselves, for voting in the Democrats.

(Am I being a sore loser? I don't think I'm so much a sore loser as much as I am worried about the "new direction" this country is headed in. The Democrats didn't tell us about that new direction, and for good reason: they would never have been voted in otherwise.)

My friend Gary at Ex-Donkey has a different outlook.
