Satirical Election Perspective

"I've learned to keep things in perspective. The important thing for every American to remember, whether you are happy or depressed by last night's results is... this is how it will be FOREVER. The 2010 election is the election to end all elections. It will be the last time anyone has the chance to affect the composition of our government. You see, this conservative wave is just like a wave on the ocean. In that, once it has crested, foamed, and reached land, there will never be another wave. The ocean will remain now glassy and lifeless as Nancy Pelosi's eyes. So if you're sad, you will remain sad. If you're happy, you'll be happy forever. Maybe there will be more elections someday in the distant future, I don't know, I'm not a psychic. Maybe one day I'll be a psychic, I don't know that either, as I said, I'm not a psychic. But I do know that a party has been swept into power on a platform of change, and that has never bitten anyone in the ass." -Stephen Colbert
