We've had three election cycles now (2000, 2002, 2004), where I just haven't gotten my rest. In fact, I've stayed up to ridiculous hours of the morning. I've hurt myself, no doubt, staying up till 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 am, to achieve political closure, every two years since Bush Lost.
And for what? Those years? Oh right, to find out that, yet again, we had gotten our asses handed to us.
So it is with pride and joy I complain that I have stayed up far, far too late the last two nights, all to savor a victory. It feels so good to not be so scared anymore. It feels so good to know the Republican majority has vaporized. It feels so good to have won an electoral majority.
We now control the House of Representatives, and the Senate.
