The Flip Flop Girl

And the Democrats Gain Ground

While most of my friends are chatting about Britney Spears finally divorcing Freddy the Free-loader, I do want to comment on the mid-term elections. Compared to Britney Spears, the mid-term elections are quite dull. And that is my point for today. To compensate, the media is always attempting to turn everything into a candy-colored circus. So, the media does it's best to turn politics sexy by turning it into a horse race, or worse, a personality contest. That's why you heard so much about the so-called "Kerry blunder." If less attention had been paid to that fluff, perhaps the Democrats would have made a more significant win. As the majority party in the House, they will take the lead in important house committees. They didn't take the Senate. So, we don't have impeachment proceedings to look forward to!

When in doubt, look to the Brits for some very cool-headed coverage of American politics.
