Fallout

Well, the midterm elections are over, and the Republicans won! More importantly, it wasn't establishment GOP, but conservative Tea Party candidates who had the majority of the new GOP seats. I am now cautiously optimistic over the country's direction, and I'll update my bio do reflect that. I think we actually cracked the glass cocoon!

I was tweeting about this most of that night, and the only response (come on, with 30 followers, can't expect much) came from @CityPagesPat about my observation that Sean Duffy lost his own county. There is a very good reason for this. The District Attorney position, which Sean held there for several years, is a non-partisan position. However, politics there are dominated by unions and loggers. The unions' position is well-known and doesn't need to be repeated here. The loggers made record profits when Bill Clinton was in office, so they will vote for anyone that has a "D" next to their name.

I know I promised a recap, but a certain radio host did a much better job. Linked here.

Next time, How Vista Broke My Bank Account. It's really coming this time, I promise.

Follow me on Twitter @buckybone (or don't, I'm not getting paid for it), and see y'all later this week.
