Byrd is gone.

So the Democrats' guaranteed winning majority which automatically let them get away with all this junk for the past eighteen months has been thwarted by natural causes -- for now.

Democrat representative Byrd died yesterday morning, and frankly I'm having extreme difficulty feeling any sympathy for the man; he was an absolutely terrible liberal, easily one of the meanest, and even has a history of marching with the Klu Klux Klan. So please forgive me if I don't speak of his passing with any respect whatsoever.

What this means is, the Democrats in Congree have lost a seat, and that can easily mean bad news for them. They no longer have the "instant win" ability. The seat has been temporarily filled by another Democrat, but God only knows who will get that seat before November when it counts.

We can only wait and see...
