Well, that was exciting. With the web already awash with punditry on the Democratic victories yesterday, I won't venture too much, save to link once again to Rolling Stone's Worst Congress Ever cover story, which explains in persuasive, well-referenced detail, why the rotten Congress that has held sway in recent years needed to go, for America's sake.
There's still a good, lively discussion over at Public Address System. I'd like to thank everyone who pitched in there yesterday - it was good fun, and I didn't have to delete any posts for crossing the line. Best effort goes to Danyl Mclauchlan for this one after the Dems took the House:
Nancy Pelosi is speaker of the House! What if she forces normal god-fearing Americans to marry gays? What if she starts handing out condoms, ball gags and capsules of amyl nitrate in public schools? What if she gets menstrual blood all over some crucial piece of legislation? What if she disbands the CIA and turns all their secret files over to Michael Moore? What if she dissolves the US government and declares Kim Jong Il dictator for life?
Dark days ahead for America . . .
Also, Andre and Danyl ventured over to Little Green Footballs, where responses have been, variously, comic, tragic and psychotic. Some correspondents were - I shit you not - actively looking forward to the inevitable terrorist nuclear attack now that the Democrats have won an election.
It seems I was wrong to focus on the monthly turnover of the apple.co.nz domain's registration to Renaissance. For some odd reason, all their domains are billed monthly. But, for reasons I dare not divulge, I'm sticking to my other predictions about Apple's future presence in New Zealand.
I'm right now grabbing the Daily Show/Colbert Report Live Midterm Midtacular, which by general blogosphere acclaim, was truly great. Torrent here, YouTube all over the gaff.
And finally, BoingBoing has the geek humour on yesterday's events. Priceless.
