I have been told I should be more gracious in the first day following the election, and congratulate the winners. Where's the fun in that?
Besides, in most cases, I don't think there were so many 'winners' as there were 'losers'
Also of note:
As Dennis Prager pointed out, in California, everything listed as a bond passed, and everything listed as a tax failed. Why do people think that bonds are not taxes, just because the payment of them is deferred? That means that CA managed to deny a tax increase on all tobacco products, while Arizonans implemented an .80 bump. (It was the "tax 'em all" Californians who came here, apparently) Arizonans now will vote for darn near any tax, especially on something unpopular (in this case cigarettes) to pay for something emotional (in this case "the children")
I really didn't think of you as a political blogger prior to this election cycle, but you definitely covered the stuff as well as anyone.

As such I say, high praise indeed coming from someone for whom I have such high regard.

Posted by: Special Agent Johnny Utah at November 8, 2006 06:14 PMDon't even get me started on the election results. People at work were really pissing me off today too.
