moreover, i'm expecting a call from my mother any given moment now regarding the sweeping victory of democrats in minnesota.

with the exception of the michele bachmann/patty wetterling district 6 house and MN gubernatorial races.

and i will be forced to be the optimist. in which i will say, "hey, look on the bright side... district 1 went blue! and i elected the house's first muslim who is also minnesota's first black congressman! and ms. klobuchar is not only minnesota's first female senator but she also kicked the living shit out of dirty campaigner mark kennedy! and gov. p[aw]lenty [o'problems] only won by 20,000+ votes... which was close! and really, did we want a governor that allegedy referred to a reporter as 'republican whore' on television?" [[hmmm. actually... that would've been fun.]]

"...and now since you're so found of using MY sexual orientation as one of YOUR political identities..." [[it's how she suckered my li'lest sister into voting.]] "...you get to spend the next two years making michele bachmann's life a living hell! cos really... we need a little fuel for our political action fires in this family, now don't we..."

[ah. there it is... a phone shaking to ABBA... only mum could be calling.]
