This is misogynistic...

AND I laughed myself sick. Do I have to mention it's from The Onion?

What a peculiar day...

Like many others, I've been following the Massachusetts campaign. I was prepared for the Republican challenger to lose, or for it to be a squeaker, with another long drawn-out Minnesota-like recount. I was not prepared to learn, when I came upstairs to check the progress of the election returns, that Martha Coakley had conceded less than an hour after the polls closed.

Although Scott Brown's victory aligns with my politics, I'm not inclined to do any victory dances until both parties start moving away from the "aristocracy of pull" model -- where you can't tell the legislators from the lobbyists without a score card, and where the coin of the realm is campaign contributions, special exemptions, and pork.


EDIT: The picture makes no editorial statement. I just liked the odd couple.
