Considering how much corporate money went into keeping the Republicans in power for as long as they were, there’s something satisfying about hearing a successful, large-company CEO saying (essentially), “I’m about as independent as they come, but I have to say it’s strange to hear the Republicans talking about how the stimulus bill is going to mortgage our future. I mean, considering what they did, I think they pretty well had that covered.”
Not as satisfying as watching an election in which the corporate money wasn’t a big deal, but satisfying.
Extra satisfying when sitting across from the table from someone who had a coworker in my office nearly in tears with the nasty things he said about why McCain lost. That part was very nice.
That is all.

Stephanie Zvan is one of the hosts for the Minnesota Atheists' radio show and podcast, Atheists Talk. She serves on the board of Secular Woman. She speaks on science and skepticism in a number of venues, including science fiction and fantasy conventions.
Stephanie has been called a science blogger and a sex blogger, but if it means she has to choose just one thing to be or blog about, she's decided she's never going to grow up. In addition to science and sex and the science of sex, you'll find quite a bit of politics here, some economics, a regular short fiction feature, and the occasional bit of concentrated weird.
Oh, and arguments. She sometimes indulges in those as well. But I'm sure everything will be just fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
In tears? Now that would be priceless. I may have to bring that interview up at work on Monday, just for a particular Republican whom we have brought to tears on occasion.

Dan, he wasn’t in tears unfortunately. Better luck with yours.
