For most states (except Maryland, which I have said in the past is the state with the most sane politics around here) things are turning very bad.  For Pennsylvania, this could mean privatization of the PA Turnpike (watch for rate hikes, poor maintenance, over commercialization), and deregulation of the already environmentally dangerous and safety negligent mining industry.  I’m sure that I will be able to light my tap water with a Bic® in about a year or two.

But LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE…. We get to see how tan John Boehner becomes with his new Lord God King Bufu status in the House of Representatives as the new speaker.  We now can pray everyday that nobody assassinates Obama and Biden at the same time.  Talk about a nightmare.
