For me, yesterday’s election didn't change a thing. I'm still at the old stand providing you the latest 411 on the decline of America, the end of Israel and the collapse of Western Civilization. Stay tuned. It’s going to be a sight to see!

Oh, and then there's this:

My guess is many of these management teams were hoping against hope for Republicans to win the Presidency and the Senate -- and that they would begin unwinding the insane complexity represented by Obamacare, Dodd-Frank and other oppressive regulations that are poised to strangle job creation.

But a billion dollars of 90 percent negative advertising convinced the gullible half of the country that Mitt Romney killed someone's wife, that he was a vulture capitalist who outsourced jobs to Timbuktu, and that Paul Ryan rolled Grandma off a cliff.

As the Bible says: As ye sow so shall ye reap.
