Of course, the news wasn’t all wonderful. With one hand South Dakota giveth; with the other, South Dakota taketh away. Schwarzenegger’s still our governor here in California (for our sins), and Connecticut will have to do six years of hard labor for re-electing Joe Lieberman. While California rightfully rejected the parental notification measure, it also rejected the alternative energy proposition and opted to take on the sex-offender tracking and residency restriction (don’t these people read my blog?).
But what we really need to ask ourselves is this: are we better off today than we were yesterday?
Hells yes, baby.

Good sense of plus/minus on the election. For once, the American electorate has proven more sensible and moderate than its nominal leaders. I also wish some more measures had gone differently, but given where we’ve been lately, this election at least makes it possible not to cringe in fear and embarassment when watching the news.

I don’t know, but I do know that she doesn’t want to hold her firm’s holiday party at a Korean restaurant because she doesn’t want to eat dog.
