The results of the 2018 midterms, mixed as they were, were an undeniable rebuke of President Trump. Purple went blue, but the overwhelming majority of red areas stuck with their man. This gives the president actual checks and balances for the first time in his administration, but that silver lining is tamped down by at least two more years of gridlock. At worst, this gives Trump a new (and very tangible) punching bag, an obvious scapegoat for anything and everything that goes wrong in his administration. Impeachment only seems marginally feasible now.
+ Finally, it just isn't Thanksgiving without my annual thanks/no thanks list.
I Give Thanks To: enduring friendships, consistent work, morsels of self-actualization, and anyone and everyone who has been reading this blog here and on TV.com for the last 13 1/2 years.
And No Thanks: a lack of common sense gun laws, property taxes, writer's block, and poor communication.
Next week: the thumb incident.
