I can imagine... well, actually... I can feel... a great disappointment traveling across this country, and resounding in every place around The World where there are still pockets of sanity in residence. Perhaps it is best if I recall my own experience. It might help with the point I hope to convey.

I could not escape a temporary state of sorrow when it became apparent to me that the criminals who hijacked the last election... also hijacked this one. They couldn't outright steal the critical percentages in both houses of Congress. There was too much outrage in the land. What they did was to repeat themselves in the places where it was least likely that any justice might come of it; in places where the machine politics were strong enough to push aside any annoying outrage on the part of the public seeing through it. They could arrange the balance to their best advantage.

This was more easily facilitated on the coasts, with the exception of Florida. I'm not going to get into details. That is the province of others who like that sort of minutiae. I'm more big picture, and even if I'm looking at some specific aspect, I still go big picture on it; the way you use two fingers on a cellphone to increase the size of an image. Heh heh... No! I don't do that. I have... seen... it... done.
