I should have never doubted the Oracle of Authenticity Woods, Jim Geraghty. Readers may recall that I was unconvinced by Jim’s — and others‘ — midterm forecasting.
With several cubic yards of wood chips successfully spread in the garden beds by noon, I’m now preparing my lunch: a crow confit with a ranch reduction.
Considering the results after a few days for reflection, I’m grateful for several things: (1) clear, timely results that are impossible for anyone outside of D.C. to misconstrue, (2) an open field on which Republicans can joust for the future of their party, (3) a Japanese-designed diesel tractor with a bucket, and (4) that my close to my pre-election piece remains true: “Despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.”
America is still beautiful, and God is good.
