Is it over? Nope...

The voting is over. Some stay in office, some leave. Some are happy, some are saddened. End result? No change.

I was hoping to awaken this morning to a bunch of fresh new faces in our elected offices. You know, the ones who will really do what everybody knows needs done but is afraid to be the bad guy. Nope. More of the same, just with a different name and party affiliation.

They say the only way that a drug addict or alcoholic will begin to recover is when they hit rock bottom and have nowhere else to go, nothing left to try. Hang in there America, another few years of this and we'll hit that bottom. At that point we'll either dust ourselves off and start climbing again or we'll continue to founder in the quagmire that is the American entitlement program.

You think there were any fresh new faces running? Maybe the "Rent's too damn high" party, but no where else.

Actually it's a little different because now we have "Tea Partiers" who claim loyalty to no one (not even their own party). In fact they have no mandate and no unifying theme other than non-cooperation. Honest? Sure. And now it gives everyone else in Washington a better reason for not getting anything done.
