Since last night’s victory, I have been riding on a natural high. All the tea party nuts had been defeated except the crazy lady married to the big old queen, Michelle Bachman. That’s okay, she narrowly scraped by and will likely be doomed in two years when she’s up for re-election.  Her brand of crazy is no longer welcome in the US Congress.

Obama pulled it out with the popular vote and the electoral vote. How wide a margin will largely depend on Florida once the count is finally tallied.

A big heaping thanks to those that stood in line (up to 4 hours) after the polls closed to make their vote count. The American people appreciate your resilience.

It just goes to show that no matter how much money the Koch brothers or Sheldon Adelson throw into our system, they weren’t able to buy our government, because we the people (at least 51% of us) are smarter than that. I hope your investment was worth it because a couple of Supreme court justices will be retiring and Barak gets to replace them. I fully expect the disastrous Citizens United to be reversed. Giving corporations personhood status and allowing folks to dump as much money into our campaigns to buy off congress all in the name of free speech is quite possibly the most fucked up decision these right-wing thugs have ever decided on.

I give you the final Chill Edition for the year 2012. Lest we forget, I’ve packed it with all the highlights of right-wing nuttery from the year as well as those cases that made national headlines and brought shame to our great nation.

I’m off tomorrow and will get back to the regular business of this site by working on a holiday electro set for your folks. Thank you for your patience as I worked out my demons in these chill sets.
