    Have you ever seen such furious derrieres!!?!!

    The night is young and I could be wrong. I'm writing this with only 18% of the vote from New Jersey counted and less from the Virginia governor's race and NY-23.

    My guess is the Dems will lose big all around. And understandably so, when you think about it.

    Not that the Republicans have lovable candidates or great ideas. Far from it. But those poor Republican voters actually were dumb enough to think something important was at stake in these races. And so they came to the polls and voted.

    On the other hand, disillusioned Democrats and liberals of other stripes knew better than to get worked up over these elections. They stayed calm. They composed themselves and sat motionless in the Zen of it all. They sent a message to Washington without even the effort of breath passing over lips.

    Ninja warriors. Sitting on their derrieres of fury.
