Democrats Take House, Senate Undecided

Every news publication on earth is saying mostly the same thing. The Democrats have taken the house picking up a sizable number of seats. But the Senate remains a tossup with a few undecided seats holding the balance. Concerns of voter fraud have been heard from around the nation as well.

How many times do I have to say this?

Ahem...
strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is NO basis for a system of government.

You cannot just call yourself Senator just because some watery tart tossed a sword at you.

I mean, if I went round, calling myself Congressman, just because some moistened bink lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

The one thing that will certainly happen though, is a minimum wage increase. Most republicans will not dare to vote against that

They'll go along with a minimum wage increase, but the president will add a signing statement:

"Within the context of this statute, the term 'Dollar' shall defined to be equal to 68 cents."

There's an old saying that says, if you want to get out of a hole, the first thing you've got to do is stop digging.

No, no, no, dig up stupid.
