The view from my deck |
There's a bright side to everything, and the midterm elections were certainly proof of that. There was no Blue Wave here in Upper East Tennessee, but our little county did vote to allow the sale of liquor by the drink in restaurants and to permit retail package stores, so we won't have to drive too far when we want to forget that the best we could come up with to replace retiring US Senator Bob Corker is Marsha "We need to protect the 2nd Amendment" Blackburn. The woman hasn't even been sworn in yet, and she's already an embarrassment.
Congratulations to all of you who did manage to elect or re-elect some sane and progressive candidates to office. Is it a start of bigger, bluer things to come? Hope so.
