Dear Fikret and Robin, I don't know if you were implying that I was debating , pissing and moaning about the elections... it seemed so. I think it is only a natural question to wonder what will happen to our own Universities, government funded centers, agencies and employees now

We progressives have two favorite sports, it seems. Freaking out at how incredibly neanderthal the right really is, especially when they do well in elections and remind us that they have a solid base among the masses. [Solid probably doesn't mean even 25%, but who are we to knock it, right?] Our

As I mentioned earlier, the press has reported that women, in house races, went 54-46 Democratic, men 54-46% Republican. Gil suggests that clumping must be involved, since the electorate this time around was 51% women. But I have also read that the total house vote split 52-48 Republican. What
