Not much to say.

Lots of distracting things going on behind the scenes with assorted and diverse family members, none of it for the good. Which in its way is distracting from the impending disaster.

Look, even in the best case scenario where the Dems hold both houses of Congress, they’re still going to have reduced numbers. It’s not as if having fewer Democrats will make things run more smoothly. Sure, some of the fainting goats of ideological purity on the left will be happy to be rid of some Blue Dogs, but the only way things get better in that scenario is if Pelosi holds the torch to her caucus and Reid inexplicably develops testicles and is willing to reshape the rules of the Senate to fit 21st century American political culture. And somebody who didn’t hold Lieberman to the fire on procedural votes isn’t going to have the sack to burn down the filibuster.

No, in all likelihood the Republicans will get the House and enough of the Senate to prevent cloture under any circumstances. Then stand by for an endless process of House hearings on everything from ACORN to the Tides Foundation to the New Black Panther party to imagined cases of voter fraud to the President’s birth certificate…in short, a return to the 1990s. And don’t be surprised if you get either a government shutdown attempt or an impeachment vote within twelve months.

Ingenious, really, when you think about it. Run the country into the ground, and when the voters finally get fed up and take the reins away, go absolutely scorched earth for two years – and blame the new guys for not fixing all the stuff you broke, then exploit their rage to get right back into power. The GOP invented the “Tea Party” to launder their trademark and bet the farm on scorched earth – and it looks like it’s going to pay off.

Time to up the dosage.
