Following up on the post r.e. attempts by business groups to weaken regulatory controls on Corporate Kings, here's a hell of a good candidate for Con of the Year:  the corporate types are crying and crying about how hard it is to comply with those silly things like the Sarbanes-Oxley law.

There was clearly a message from the voters that said, "If you're in political office, it ought to be about public service.''

[Ken was silent on why a national political party, one which calls itself the party of values, would need such a message from voters in order to understand the point]

Congratulations to America and the Democrats for the House and likely Senate victories.  There is some reason to hope that this can stop the slide into a 19th century dictatorship.  But I hope that the Democrats understand they've won an opportunity, a battle if you will, not the war.
