The election is over, and any day now, Obama will begin his assault on Social Security/Medicare under the cover of the "Fiscal Cliff". Meanwhile all the spying, torture and assassination-by-drone campaigns will continue. Business as usual.
But meanwhile, there is much schadenfreude to be had. - Workers of Koch Industries and other loathsome billionaire types gave a collective middle finger to their bosses who ordered them to vote for their guy or else. - Karl Rove and Donald Trump have epic and comic meltdowns. I hope this destroys Rove's undeserved reputation as some kind of a genius. - Mr. 47% does not get to be President and goes instead straight into the trash can of history. - Wall St Ayn Rand devotees bet on the wrong guy and lost big time. It won't affect their bottom-lines, but it sure as hell has got to affect their tender egos. - Angry old white Tea Party guys from the Deep South lost big and demographic trends say they will never again be a big factor in national politics. Good riddance.
