Weekend Wisdom

"Last night the Republicans got shellacked. And they had no idea it was coming. And we saw them, in real time, in real humiliating time, not believe it even as it was happening to them. And unless they’re going to secede, they’re going to have to pop the factual bubble they have been so happy living inside, if they do not want to get shellacked again. And that will be a painful process for them, I’m sure, but it will be good for the whole country - left, right, and center. You guys, we’re counting on you. Wake up.
There’s real problems in the world. There are real knowable facts in the world. Let’s accept those and talk about how we might approach our problems differently. Let’s move on from there. If the Republican party, and the conservative movement, and conservative media are forced to do that by the humiliation they were dealt last night, we will all be better off as a nation. And in that spirit, congratulations everybody. Big night."

Love your blog especially the last 3 posts :). I visit a lot of decorating blogs. Blogs that I didn't know were writen by evangelical christians. I don't think I can read one post that starts with "I've cried all day for our country" or any other pitful commentary. You know in the Gore V Bush election I knew pain but that was pain that came from the election being stolen so excuse me if I don't have sympathy.
