4 in the morning

I've spent the past 5 hours watching election coverage on CNN and BBC and squeezing in studying as I go; quiz tomorrow in Europa/A.L. class. Bad timing. But we got the House back, and maybe the Senate (at least George Allen looks like a goner...spit on that, asshole) and the gubernatorial races went way in favor of the Dems. Happy happy joy joy, now let's see what can be done with this. The leadership says they're not out to impeach Bush, but I say, why not? If Clinton could be impeached for lying under oath, then surely Bush can be impeached for, well, attempting to destroy the Constitution might be a good place to start. It's going to take a long time and a lot more than a mid-term Democratic semi-victory to turn ourselves around, but here's hoping that it's a beginning at the very least. And now, to bed. Wish me luck getting to sleep, I'm all riled up about the election and the effects of the great depression on the political climate in Latin America. 'Night.
