Democrats Win House and Senate
Well, this is an interesting if predictable outcome. This vote was as much a commentary on Bush as it was the legislators.
Here's my hopes for the new legislature:
* A little less corruption.
* Simplifying the tax code.
* Fix the budget (which, unfortunately, is going to require a tax increase).
* Someone figuring out what the hell we're actually trying to accomplish in Iraq.
* John Bolton's head on a pike so we can actually get something accomplished at the UN.
These are pretty simple requests, at least in theory. Granted, number 2 won't happen anytime soon but it would be nice...
