I may be stuck with 6 years of Amy “My mom takes Lipitor” Klobachaur, but at least I don’t have to deal with Patty “The Only Qualification I Have is that People Feel Sorry for Me Because I Lost my Son” Weterling. Patty Weterling and good old Cindy Sheehan have that in common – absolutely no qualifications to do what they’re trying to do, but they figure people must feel sorry for them, and that will get them what they want. (Not to say I don’t feel bad for them – losing a child must be absolutely devastating, but that does not in any way, shape, or form make them qualified to speak and/or act on behalf of the American people).

And, thank God, I still have a Republican governor. Tim Pawlenty beat that idiot Mike Hatch (you know, the one with the running mate who didn’t know what one of Minnesota’s main agricultural products is). It appears that Minnesotans are much more liberal when it comes to spending other people’s money than they are when it comes to spending their own. That’s why they elect whiners like Klobachaur to the Senate, but strong Conservatives to lead the state. The way they figure it, Klobachaur will bring taxes from people in places like Iowa to pay for projects in Minnesota. On the flip side, Pawlently will do everything he can as Governor to keep our state taxes low. It’s the old Utopian theory – from everyone else according to what they’ve got, and to me according to what I want. Well, I paraphrase, but you get my point.

I am happy that we were able to get two pro-life justices on the Supreme Court over the past two years. At least this horrific Demoncrat-controlled House can’t take that away from me. Even though the American people (at least the ones who voted for Demoncrats) have completely robbed me of any faith in humanity. Thanks for that. Appreciate it.

Of course, Texas still makes me happy. Rick Perry (Fightin’ Texas Aggie!) won reelection for Governor against Chris “I Just Can’t Win Anything” Bell. Someone needs to tell Chris it’s time for him to go back to practicing law. He’s unelectable – because he’s an IDIOT. If it talks like an idiot and walks like an idiot… It’s an idiot.

And my old friend Orlando Sanchez will be heading up the accountability side of the Harris County government as Treasurer. Orlando is a great guy, and he will make the citizens of Harris County proud. I also think he might be the first Hispanic to be elected to county-wide office in Harris County. I could be wrong, though.

So, that’s my take on Election 2006. Oh, here’s my bonus bit: Voters in Pennsylvania and Ohio should be ashamed. House Speaker Pelosi is about as scary as they come. You’ve helped bring San Francisco values to the United States Congress. Thanks for that.

(If you’re wondering what I am doing up at 4AM, you can rest assured that I have a sick baby).
