Sixty-Five (More or Less)

So. We've retaken the House. The Senate is teetering but not yet fallen. The Tea Party is triumphant.

We have a famous victory.

Good.

Now, GOPers....I'd like to tell you a story about the first space launch.

Immediately before the first Mercury shot, Alan Shepherd muttered a prayer under his breath. His microphone was on, and the prayer was heard throughout the launch pad area. It went like this:

"Lord, don't let me f*** this up."

Ladies and Gentlemen of the 112th Congress, congratulations. But remember the prayer of Blessed +Alan Shepherd and doest thou likewise.

In the mean time.... beware of lame ducks.
