Ah, Election Day. The Tea Party movement is expecting big wins tonight, and while I'm not particularly looking forward to their happy faces of victory, I don't fear for the country in general. Because seriously, this is the party's platform:

"Vote for us, because fuck the government!"

What is going to happen now that they're the government?

My favorite take on the election sweep kind of summarizes the tone surrounding elections this year. It is, of course, from the Onion

Glad to see The Onion can still find a way when the real world looks like the Onion

I know, right? The fact that a rally created in jest got 2.5x the number of attendees as Glenn Beck's for-real rally, and furthermore created a scene that I immediately paired with the madness of the inauguration at the Mall, is a sign that we are living in strange times.

People must have a short memory...

Or short "fix this" stopwatches.

To be honest, they didn't even do as well as they were hoping.

Americans have the memory of a goldfish. And you are spot-on.

It's that poor memory/patience, or a belief younger types don't show up as much during midterms.
