Elections: Not too depressing overall
Well, we’ve got another 4 years of the Governator; but I can live with that. 
He’s sufficiently restrained by the Dems in the CA legislature not to be too dangerous.
For the most part, things went the way I’d hoped (except for Lieberman winning in CT - what’s wrong with those people?). The ballot measures that passed or were rejected were pretty much in line with the way I wanted them to go, and the people I liked for various other local offices got in.
However, Angelenos are embarrassingly disinterested in politics. I watch the LA Fox channel for news in the morning (mostly because I LOVE Jillian Barberie and Steve Edwards), and this morning they had Nischelle Turner out talking to “regular folks” about yesterday’s elections. While the caption for the video calls voters’ reactions “interesting,” it’s easy (and depressing) to see that people are more knowledgeable and emotionally involved in the local fucking sports teams than they are about how and by whom they’re being governed. Disgusting.
Wow! Just got a really exciting piece of breaking news: Rumsfeld is stepping down!!! Halle-fucking-lujah and good riddance!
