Well, the election is over.  _That's_ good news, though little else is.
Now we can look forward to that month or so every four years when _nobody_
is running for president, no one posturing, no one bringing up "character"
issues...bliss.

I won't mention the presidency, but NH _did_ go Republican for the gubbiner,
and for the Senate, so we have once again defeated the foes of fairness and
held off the ravening income tax monster and its horrible little buddy, the
sales tax.  Arneson's sales tax would have emptied all the malls we have
ringing NH which are enthusiastically patronized by Maine, Vermont, Mass, and
NY residents - all Democratic-controlled states that stood to win big if NH
actually fired that shot into its' collective head, and so contributed money
and people to Arneson very, very heavily.  So NH will get to keep those 25K
or so jobs, and Nashua and West Lebanon will not become ghost towns with no
discernable tax base whatsoever.  And that is _good_ news.
