A pretty decent week, all things considered.

Housecleaning the House, defanging the Senate, sending Obama scurrying off to India with his big-fanny'd wife, hoping to hide his disappointments in an orgy of the spending of large quantities of public monies, spent far from home and far from the troubling and all-too-fresh memories.

Alan Grayson and Keith Olberdouche, politically ideological twins, both given well-deserved slapdowns by Florida voters and NBC, respectively.

Marco Rubio begins his political quest for the Presidency. That he overcame 'Big R' Republican Charlie Crist might be one of the best gifts of the week. Siddown, Charlie, your time is up. And take Karl Rove with.

Not all good news; the out-of-control Federal Reserve unleashed more Voodoo Keynesian policies on our not-so-vibrant economy. As much as I detest Ron Paul, I would like to see him get under the hood of the Fed.

Oh, and belated congrats to RAND Paul, on his awesome Senate victory in Kentucky. Much slapdown to the 'Big R' candidate there, too.

Did I mention how triumphal it makes me feel to witness Barack Obama's Senate seat fell to Republican Mark Kirk ? BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA~! That must've felt like a great weight settling on Obama's face, M'chelle maybe, watching the returns and seeing 'his' seat taken away from 'him'. Let's hope Obama's gets that same weighty lovin' feelin' when a Tea Party President assumes 'his' Oval Office seat in January 2013.

Maybe he'll buy some land in India whilst he's over there. As a Man of the World, it's always nice to have an out-of-country retirement home set up and waiting, no?
