To those hypocritical politicians who would rather see politics shut down, even as they remain ensconced in their plush political offices, this election holds a very disturbing truth, to wit, in the 105th Congress the Democrats will be more to the left and the Republicans slightly more to the right. The Great Game of politics is going to proceed with vigor. As for the large number who did not vote, I hope you stayed home for the right reason. If you stayed home because politics is beneath your dignity, show me a polity wherein the Great Game is better played. The best reason for staying home is that you are content.
Most politicians are, too.
