Planetarium - politics/music/culture/smarts

First of all, mad ups to Superficial Blog for getting his candidate for city council elected. (in Chief Wiggum voice:) That's some nice electing, boy. Same goes to part-time Planetarium staffer Brunansky, kicking some mayoral ass in St. Paul. All in all, the Twin Cities had a pretty good election. It seems like, by and large, good folks made some good wins.

That being said, it seems pretty funny that the left-wing blogosphere, and especially the mainstream Democrat mass emails, are crapping themselves today with joy, shrieking with glee about the brutal rebuke to George Bush and Republican values in this country. Um, we hate to be the ones to point it out, but A) nobody's been happy with Bush for awhile, and B) the fact that two, count 'em, TWO national seats were switched from red to blue does not a backlash against Republicans make. It's like the equivalent of George Bush declaring his "clear mandate" because a (fraudulent) election gave him a 51-49 win. So before everyone breaks their arms patting themselves on the backs, let's maybe start thinking about the little things, like, say, oh, a clear platform for the Dems? Maybe something that doesn't make them seem like a nutsack-less version of Republicans? Just a thought.

Not trying to poop on the parade, by the way- but then again, Planetarium watched four more years of Bloomberg get locked up because NYC Dems are too stupid to put forth a candidate anyone actually wants to see in office, us included.
