we scratched that itch...

i’m totally inspired too when there is a live, nude human before me. but it isn’t to draw. it’s more an inspiration to gawk, laugh, turn away, or see if i have any ones on me.
here’s what also inspires me: the american electorate!
can you believe tuesday? i am still wiping my eyes with glee expecting to wake up and see that rick santorum is still my senator. for the first time in six years, we actually get to see the bush administration forced to work with others. you can expect yesterday morning they had to open their merriam-websters and seek out the definition of the word compromise.
other than ricky losing, and the democrats gaining subpoena power, the highlight of the night was jon tester defeating conrad burns in montana to take the senate seat. can you imagine that this guy is now a sitting united states senator?
jon tester is an organic farmer who looks like anything but a senator. i can’t wait to see what happens when he gets to washington.
the other positive is that george allen is no longer a senator – the guy was a total jerk. and republicans should be thankful his campaign self-imploded in ’06 rather than ’08, because he seemed to be cruising towards the republican presidential nomination. now if you are a republican (and i come from a long line of republicans in my family – not that there’s anything wrong with that), wouldn’t you rather see allen completely blow the senate race (and let’s face it – democrats didn’t have a chance of winning this race until about three months ago and allen’s macaca moment) rather than do this during the ’08 campaign? that’s what i thought.
i also really enjoyed the tandem of chris matthews and keith olbermann on msnbc on tuesday night. (i watched them for about nine hours, well past 3am.) they seemed to work well together. matthews was fun to watch because the guy obviously loves politics; olbermann was fun to watch because democrats were sweeping the floor up with the republicans.
alas, not everything went as i had hoped for on tuesday night: phil “the human house” english won handily in our district.
maybe ’08?
