Congratulations to you San Francisco fans out there on winning yet another World Series. Enjoy it while you can, San Fran, because your ungodly way of life is set to end come election day. By all indications, it appears that Republicans will not only remain in control of the House (in fact, my less-than-wonderful Democrat representative appears poised to lose his race), but will also take the Senate. The first thing I figure they’ll do is get rid of the filibuster entirely. If you thought things sucked before (and by “you” I of course refer to wildlife, women, minorities, working people, and the poor), you aint seen nothing yet, ‘cuz as we all know, the only thing worse than Democrats is Republicans.

Republicans also seem to be about to take control of a record number of state legislatures and even in places where there are “Democratic” governors, many of them (such as Governor Snotball) are really just Republicans anyway.

I’m once again fearing for my Social Security and retirement. My only hope is that I’ll squeak by on the low end of the group they decide to grandfather (so to speak) in. Either that, or Obama realizes the only thing he’s got is the veto and he won’t play Chamberlain to the Republicans’ Nazis.

History is not on our side with that hope. So my Plan B is to die before I retire, which isn’t an unlikely scenario, all things considered.

I think it’s gonna be a long, cold winter.
