House of Blues

I'm such a political nerd. Last night, as always, I watched the entire election on the boob tube. It's a lot easier on the West Coast because we're 3 hours behind all the action, so you can still retire at a somewhat reasonable hour. The guy I most like to watch during elections is Chris Matthews on MSNBC. Besides being pretty much down the middle, he's well versed in American political history and knows the town of DC like the back of his hand. I especially love it when the hour gets late and they all start getting punchy after being on television for so long..you can just tell they love their jobs and politics and wouldn't be anywhere else in the world than in that studio.

At any rate, for the first time in 12 years, the Dems will control the House (Senate still undecided). Apparently, US voters are tired of corruption and being told lies about Iraq, Terrorism, etc..wow, perhaps US voters are beginning to see what people around the world have been saying for years! Unfortunately, I think it'll be too little too late (What the hell can we really do now in Iraq?), but at least it's a step in the right direction! Looking forward to Bush's little speech in 2 hours, or rather Jon Stewart/Steven Colbert's take on Bush's speech in 2 hours:)
