Roll call

Bunning.  DeMint.  Coburn.  Martinez.  Burr.

Every one of them batshit insane.  Every one of them a United States Senator, as of 10:40 Eastern tonight.

No, folks, I’m not despairing.  The country is, and will always be, worth fighting for.  I’m not saying everything sucks, so why bother (as Mike suggested in a comment to the previous post). But we here in the reality-based community are constrained by empirical results, and we know now that we will have to deal with a Senate chock full of lunatics who spend 30 percent of their waking hours trying to figure out how to bring Christ to earth and the other 70 percent fantasizing about (and then, with a fervor commensurate with the intensity of the fantasy, decrying) man-on-dog sex.  Well, except for Bunning, who spends 40 percent of his waking hours trying to figure out what day it is.

It is still unclear what the executive branch will look like.  But I don’t see any landslide coming. . .
