It took forty years for the Democrats to win back control of the New York senate. It took New York Democrats less than six months to lose control. A tax increase, which infamously resulted in billionaire Tom Golisano's Empire State exodus, seems to have some role in the exodus in votes from the Democratic majority. Gay marriage, which the former leadership pushed after promising not to in order to win votes, may be a potential casualty of the change in control. Democrat diehards, don't fret: the defeated Senate majority leader plans to sue. "The Senate Democrats are still in the majority; Senator Malcolm Smith is still the majority leader," Senate Minority Leader Malcolm Smith explained. Does that guy remind you of Doug Neidermeyer insisting that he is in control when all hell breaks loose during the parade at the end of Animal House?

Wasn't it Chip Diller (played by Kevin Bacon) who repeatedly insisted "All is well! All is well!" at the end of Animal House?

Simply put - Leftism in any form does not work! Especially with regard to economic policy which is directly impacted by social/political policy.

Even as obtuse as the O seems to be, he kinda sorta gets it, even though he doesn’t want to. Making comments like ‘we’re out of money’, calling current deficit spending ‘unsustainable’ would seem to indicate that the grand Marxist understands the simple math.

At least there are glimmers of hope in this country and abroad and even though the leftist ideologues keep trying failed models, people are catching on and throwing them out.

I'll check it out, Don. My movie memory perhaps fails me here. It was someone involved in Faber's ROTC program.
