Good luck, America.

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to that tasty chemical zing in my drinking water, more giveaways to multinational corporations, more hidden, regressive taxes, and greater government control over my personal life.

This is the second election that was decided by the Supreme Court. The first was when they appointed Bush president in Bush v. Gore. This time, it was Citizens United v Federal Election Commission, when the court decided that corporations could donate unlimited amounts of money anonymously to political campaigns.

The oil companies, banks, insurance companies and coal companies bought the new congress. This one cost in excess of $4 BILLION.

The ONE senator... the ONLY senator to vote against the grossly misnamed PATRIOT act, which was the GREATEST expansion of federal powers in our nation's history and gave the government the power to IGNORE the Bill of Rights and imprison US citizens without cause or warrant, went down in defeat yesterday.

So much for the teabaggers claiming to want to rein in the federal government.

Good luck, America. You're going to need it. You just handed over the keys of the medicine cabinet to a pack of junkies.

Just a reminder
