The story line of the day is that Brittney Spears has filed for divorce from Kevin Federline.
The other story is that Democrats have taken back control of the House of Representatives, and may (depending onthe outcome in Montana and Virginia) get a 51-49 lead in the Senate. A resounding, colossal, historic victory? Not really.
Evidently, the average in the sixth year of a presidency (post WWII), the opposition party typically gains ~30 House seats and ~6 Senate seats, making this wave rather ordinary. To be sure, Bush is unpopular, Iraq is unpopular, Republicans are unpopular, and there's frustration with the GOP from all quarters. But that isn't the whole story. Another important part is that this is perfectly normal.

I like how you can always seem to cut through the crap. It's just too bad I beat you in Scrabble. :)

"IF" should not be able to net anybody 35 points. It just isn't right...
