Learn to say Please, Mr. President
Mr. President,
Now that a thumping smack has been delivered by American voters to the backside of the Empire building hallucinations of your sponsors, leaving you presidential future effectively bowdlerized, you are well advised to start learning to say ‘please’ to lessen the pain of the remaining two years. Learn to say Please Mr. President because with a whole bunch of Repub-mangled Congressmen let loose upon the Capitol Hill, your interaction with the Dem-dominated Congress will tend to be complicated and emotionally draining exercise for you. The ‘please’ word will act like a balm to the political sores that you are likely to get from the chafing.
Learn to say Please Mr. President because control tactics such as threatening, shaming, or fear mongering will not get you what you want from now onward. What is more, regular use of words like ‘please and ‘thank you’ might just numb the sting of being a political outcast and a sitting President.
Learn to say Please Mr. President while giving directions, making requests, or asking questions of this new Congress. Also, while you are at it, learn not to scowl, shake your finger and glare at the new house. That tends to have a goading effect on the addressees and that is not exactly what you want.

Pennsylvania Republican senator Rick Santorum – Golden Boy of the Christian Right, rabid homophobe, and Bush “yes-man†– was crushed in the 2006 election by a margin larger than anyone had expected. 
It was the worst outcome imaginable.
between the "People of the Book," the "Children of Abraham," the "Fanatical Devotees of a Bronze Age Sky-God Cult" will be the way forward from the current hell of war and strife, leading the world into a new earthly paradise where human beings are not allowed to seek warmth, affection, contact and pleasure from one another, except in the severely restricted circumstances dictated by fanatical devotees of a Bronze-Age Sky-God cult. (The picture at right shows some good godly folk setting fires in the streets, offering up the fragrant aroma of, er, cardboard boxes and wooden crates to pleasure the nostrils of the Most High God.)

In the 1972 movie The Candidate, newly (and
surprisingly) elected candidate Bill McKay – played by Robert Redford – asks,
perhaps rhetorically, at the end of the movie, “What do we do now?â€
Attempts to coerce Palestinians into submission have not always manifested themselves in the crude form of a tank, a bullet, the withholding of aid, or the denial of freedom of movement. These efforts were at times more imaginative and shrewd, through the sponsoring and espousing of factionalism, the purchasing of the integrity of a politician, and pressing Palestinians themselves to promote foreign agendas, whether knowingly or unwittingly. 
Hope you were hanging on to something solid Tuesday
night because this country lurched so hard to the
left, half of Washington woke up with a wicked case of
whiplash on Wednesday. No, make that most of
Washington. And all of K Street. And the Republicans
should be grateful. Because if it weren’t for
Democratic persistence they wouldn’t still be able to
file for protection under the Endangered Species Act.
So, the Democrats have a majority in Congress. The bad times are over. The
evil ones have been vanquished. Let's go ahead and declare world peace, an
end to global warming, and‹while we're at it‹the cancellation of The
O'Reilly Factor. I mean, what could be better, right? Hmm, we could also
have a Democratic president to go along with a Democratic Senate and
Democratic House. Can you say Hillary Rodham Clinton, boys and girls?
Imagine that: A pinko by the name of Clinton running the White House with a
merry band of liberals calling all the shots in Congress. How grand it would
be...
