A short list: My election recap

I haven't been political in some time, but the fact that I stayed up until 2 a.m. on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning allowed me to make some random observations. I present these in short list form. So sit back and enjoy!
1- California rejected a proposition allowing for legalization of marijuana. In a related story, a man named Dubie was not elected as governor of Vermont.
2- In spite of the fact that voters in California rejected legal pot, they still reelected Barbara Boxer to the Senate.
3. Maybe it's just me, but methinks something is rotten in the land of Vegas, to quote Macbeth. I think it was Macbeth.
4. This is actually taken from a tweet I saw that was brilliant in its sarcasm: That racist, sexist tea party was so terrible to get Marco Rubio, Nikki Haley, and others elected.
5. All the angry white people on Tuesday night appeared to make up the panel on MSNBC.
6. North Carolina's legislative body, the General Assembly, is Republican controlled for the first time since the late 1800s.
7. Rep. Bob Etheridge (D- NC) was seen earlier this year harassing a college student on video. For the next few weeks, he will be harassing election officials in classic Al Gore fashion.
8. During the Healthcare debate, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) said the Republican healthcare plan was to die quickly. Tuesday his career died quickly.
9. Speaking of angry people, the AP article hitting papers Thursday called voters "fickle." As the media continues to not get it, they will continue to demean the voters.
10. The President in Wednesday gave the impression of a person that has been humbled. Today he leaves on a trip that will cost taxpayers $2 BILLION. Glad that lasted long.
11. Nancy Pelosi has an 8% approval rating. Apparently those 8% all have Twitter accounts. I could not believe what I read.
That is all I have for now. The intent was to get you to think and make you chuckle.Next time, I promise to be back to the inspiration.
