Sometimes The Good Guys Win, Twice

Ray Charles and Willie Nelson, "Georgia" live

I went into last November's presidential election as cautiously optimistic.  While the Congressional side of things wasn't great for us Dems, let's not forget that Joe Biden knocked off an incumbent president for the first time in nearly three decades.

So this afternoon in my office in lurvely Daegu, with few expectations, imagine my joy at seeing the Dems take de facto 50-50 control of the Senate.  (And let's be frank -- if a Jew and a Black Dude winning in formerly deep crimson Georgia and kicking Mitch McConnell to the curb doesn't put a smile on your face, you ain't got no soul.)

This is a golden opportunity for so much positive change being served up for Joe Biden.  He damn well better not sacrifice it on the altar of "moderation" or, Spaghetti Moster forbid, "bipartisanship."

Meanwhile, let's mentally prepare ourselves for Donald / Ivanka 2024.  (Kidding, but not kidding.)
