So am I like the only person totally psyched about the election results?
Woo!
I live in a bubble so seriously, I don't know.
I do know that I am proud to have participated in the kicking in the ass of mistah Ricky Santorum. Take that mister number two Republican Senator.
Now this guy Bob Casey is king of PA.

I must admit I didn't really research any of the candidates. Honestly, I forget what this House of Representatives, Senate stuff means. I meant to read up on this, something, anything, so I could make an informed decision. But when it came right down to it, I figured I was just gonna vote one way anyway because most of the Republican's causes are irrelevant to me anyway.
So I just pushed the easy button.

There. Done.
I should be proud. I should think of myself as everything right with this democratic system.
I firmly believe that the douchebag on the left should win...or something.
I picked the right team.

A couple weeks ago I found this informational postcard thing lying on the floor.
It was a campaign thingy. On one half was this photo, professionally taken of mister Santorum, he was smiling and there was something going on in the background like a family playing monopoly or whatever families do together these days. On the other half was a smaller picture of mister Bobby standing behind a podium on a kind of overcast day.

It kind of reminded me of this commercial a long time ago
(I'll just go ahead and say it was for Denny's).
This commercial was comparing a nice, hamburger with a large golden bun, generously beefy beef patty, ripe tomatoes, lush green lettuce, and a side of fries, to a rather sad looking, greasy, gray, lump of hamburger with kind of a smashed up bun, from a fast food place like Mc Donald's.
As the only "information" I considered from this election, my image of mister Bobby is that of a greasy gray hamburger. A Santorum burger sure did look more appetizing, but after all it was just propaganda. And we all know what santorum is really...

This town has been Republican since it began being a town, with all the WASP's and rural-ness going on. Signs promoting Santorum in every other yard. I mean santorum everywhere..
(I'm sorry for the terrible jokes, sigh)

Still the Dem's prevailed. Still I doubt it will change anything.
This government is run more like a business than a country.
It's a country, filled with people, millions of people with diverse needs.

I just don't know where all these special interest groups, lobbyists, corporations, giant gluttonous Tetsuo-amoeba-monster conglomerates are going to take this country.
I think that's where all the power is anymore.
Anyway, I would hate to say much more, because like most American's I'm really ignorant of politics.
