Well, it feels like we all woke up in South Carolina or somewhere.

It is not a good feeling. The good news is that there is still a Democratic President who better veto the hell out of the crazy shit that crosses his desk.

Be glad if you live in a state with a good Democratic party and representation. That hopefully will provide some insulation from the lunacy.

The SC mention is a reference to realizing that those in charge of overall policy are crazy, mean, and stupid. The only thing that has kept SC from falling into the Atlantic Ocean is the fact that there is so much internecine fighting in our GOP that they rarely agree on much. This may keep the US Senate tied up for a while because Ted Cruz will probably challenge The Turtle for leadership of the Senate. We can hope.

Gonna go get another beer....or three....

1. I went to bed thinking

North Carolina was blue, at least, and woke up to a nightmare.

I really thought there'd be a huge backlash after the shutdown. Looks like it's all about hate and taxes and stupidity.

I could use a beer too but I don't drink.

3. I've been trying to tell folks that NC has been bought and paid for.

The grass roots are redder than just their necks.

2. Just looked at a election map of SC

at least you have some blue in there...

Ala. is red except for the Black Belt.
but much redder than it was in 08 and '12
