In Which We Discuss:
1. As far as elections go, we’re not going to say everything is hopeless, but we are going to say that you need to do better next time, America! We’ve blogged about how: Post-Election Blues: 14 Ways To Get Even
2. Voters everywhere voted both for and against everything they stand for this election day. Hey voters, you don’t get to have two opinions on the same issue!
3. The Lame Duck session is shaping up to look more like a healthy and virile duck session.
4. SCOTUS invites a serious case of deja vu with a slate of new, high-profile cases that suspiciously like the old ones.
5. We now have 3,000 troops in Iraq, but don’t worry, they aren’t “one the ground.” The are just soldiers deployed to a war-torn region who have no particular mandate or agenda...nothing to see here.
6. Goodbye Michele Bachmann and Steve Stockman, hello Glen Grothman, who will carry on your tradition of rhyming last names and insane agendas.

In Which We Discuss:
1. Another school shooting, but instead of gun control, lets talk about EBOLA! It knows where you live!

3. U.S. practices favorite kind of armchair diplomacy - air-dropping “lethal aid” on rebels with ambiguous goals.
4. Politico poll proves that it’s easy to be panicked about everything when you know nothing about anything.
5. This week in #HillaryPillory - Thought-crime strikes again, this time care of @Harpers
6. #SCOTUS faces their biggest gender divide yet...and not over gender issues. #VoterID
