Actually, I come from the Lao Tzu school of thought. Taoism is a way of being that it describes. Now, your Taoists embrace a very shamanistic perspective on gloating. They don't. 'Conduct your victory as a funeral,' says Lao Tzu. Taoism is so ancient that no one is all that sure when it really began. Some would trace it back to the world's oldest book, the I Ching, or Book of Changes. You should all go out and buy a copy tomorrow. And then go to some arcane, hippiesque boutique and pick up the helpful ancient (?) Chinese coins (the ones with the square cut out in the middle). Then you will never make another bad decision. Try it.

I like the way the MyDD blog generals are handling the big waves as they come arolling in from the big Republican rout. They are keeping everything well-oiled and humming along, just like this was a newspaper or something. Just counting down the shoe. Good job.

I say be happy, and don't party too much. Gird your loins for when you will find yourself pulling that knife out of your back. The I Ching says this would be an opportune time to make new friends. Maybe they will help pull that knife out.
