Congratulations

...to the Democrats for their newfound position. Isn't it amazing what happens when the focus shifts from bitching about chads to finding better candidates?

Now let's see if they use this power for the benefit of themselves or for that of the country. With the likes of Conyers, Waxman, Leahy, Rangel and previously impeached judge Alcee Hastings in line for committee chairs, it doesn't look good.

But it could be fun to watch. In particular, I'm waiting for Rangel to call for a draft again. And how long can it be before Conyers starts his impeachment nonsense?

One thing for sure - the tone of the news will change.
