There was a moderate amount of good news in the recent election, such as the defeat of candidates like Carl Paladino and Christine O'Donnell who would make satirists' job more difficult. Perhaps even more cheering was the major loss of "blue dogs" (conservative Democrats) in Congress, as much of the electorate decided that if it wanted Republican ideas, it could vote for Republicans. One of the few survivors, fetus fan and failed quarterback Heath Shuler, has decided that this means that the remaining blue dogs should lead the party, which is about the sort of thinking one expects from such people.

Thanx to Mercury Rising.
