Voter anger.

Newspaper headline: "Voters send angry message". I love it.

The elections are over, at last, so now the campaigning for 2012 can begin. That would be my angry message: "Give us a break!"

I'm actually happy about the 2010 results, sort of. Colorado was, by and large, sane, unlike much of the country. I'm glad the GOP is in control of the House (but I hope they don't elect Boehner speaker), because maybe Republicans will actually have to do something now, or take more blame if they don't.

Voters were angry because Wall Street trashed our economy. They were angry because of the high unemployment rate. They were angry because of the federal deficit. Etc. So what did they do? They put those back in office who caused the problems in the first place and who prevented more from being done about the problems. Go figure.

That's the thing about democracy. By definition, it will always hover around mediocrity, not much worse nor much better than the average citizen.

Whoopee.
