Politics:Republicans partied like it was 1994 last night by handing Democrats their asses in the mid-term elections.

It was a result that, by the end of the night, had the GOP doing a collective Tiger Woods-style fist-pump. [CNN]

Politics: Weed smokers throughout California let their voices be heard in last night's election—and they spoke by not doing shit. Proposition 19, for the legalization of marijuana, was defeated. Who knew that potheads would be so unreliable? [ABC News]
