Congratulations to the Democrats as they take control of Congress after being voted out of power in 1994.  Let's see...1994...ah yes.  1994 was the year that the television show Friends debuted, O.J. Simpson's Bronco crept down an L.A. freeway, and NKOTB released Face the Music, their last group album.  Also, a Carolinian with the last name of Aiken won a national beauty/drama queen award that year, but it was Kimberly who took the prize with the Miss America crown.  Clay would have to wait another 9 years before losing American Idol due to voter irregularities.  Man, oh man, the popular vote was his.

It's been a while, anyway, since the Democrats were in charge.  It is sometimes nice to see a change in power, and one can only hope that the new leadership will prove as exemplary as promised.  Some good things are happening already--talk of a longer work week, the cutting back of earmarks, and entitlement reform.  There is a lot to get done, and we're hopeful that the new Congress is up to the task.
