Tidbits And Cat Treats: Post-Midterm Edition

By Zamboni

It's amazing what a weekend packed with more naps and plates full of tuna will do. It brings some calming perspective. So on this chilly November night, here are some further thoughts on the debacle that was last Tuesday:

Democrats are debating whether to run more anti-Koch ads? What's to debate? Do it. We always thought the wily Mormon Harry Reid was prescient to start putting the Kochs' ugly faces on all that slimy right-wing money. So the message takes awhile to sink in? So what? Somewhere in America, there is a brilliant copywriter who will figure out how to do this.

We cats are always happy to see openly gay Republicans lose. What the heck are they doing in that party in the first place?

Awww, how sweet. The New York Times is trying to cheer us up with this: The Republican establishment may be riding high, but the teabags are furious. We cats think that the losses in Mississippi, Kansas, Kentucky, Georgia and Oregon primaries still fester in Freeper World, and the idea of a (pick one) Bush-Romney-Christie nomination in 2016 enrages them. Cue the fireworks!

Finally, let's take a moment to recognize some Democrats for fighting the good fight in a horrible year: Elizabeth Warren, who went to West Virginia for Natalie Tennant. Gwen and Bob Graham, for proving that Florida's not a total lost cause. Tom Wolf, for crushing the odious Tom Corbett in Pennsylvania. Al Franken, who won big this time! Michelle Nunn, for giving a great concession speech. And any Democrats who jumped into races they lost, just to make sure that no damn Republican ran unopposed. We cats PURR.
