Well, it's finally over.  And the crooks and liars actually managed to get out our vote instead of repress it.

Congratulations to Elizabeth Warren.  I am so looking forward to watching her kick some butt in D.C.  I'm assuming Scott Brown is going to retire his truck and take his Hummer out of storage.

Good to see the back end of this baby.
Also congrats to the women (and men) who turned out to turn out Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin from the halls of Congress.  Maybe they'll have time to visit the library and read up on the human body, sex, and science in general.

I worry about South Carolina, though.  We may not be as dumb and dirty as Florida, but we do have the governor who spent a fortune of taxpayer dollars to make sure those old folks who have been voting since 1960 show some photo ID, while sleazoids were working to keep potential opponents off the ballot, crooks were robocalling misinformation, and crazies were putting flyers out at Doschers telling people to vote on Wednesday.

Next time we'll need to be more on top of it than we have been.  I hate to say it, but that means we need to start now.  After Alvin Greene two years ago, and this year's Peas & Carrots, we need to reform our election laws as well as our state Democratic Party, and we mostly need to work to inform the people of South Carolina about the people who represent us.

It's time to retire this blog, but I hope you'll continue to follow me at The Ironic Cherry.

Thanks to those two great women that this blog has followed, Bobbie Rose and Carol Tempel.  I'm hoping we hear lots more from them as well.
