Where's Your God Now, Moses?

I can't take credit for the title of this post. I was bouncing around the internet during the past week and came across a follow-up posting to a news article (I cannot seem to locate it now) where the writer, mentioning that President Bush has often been referred to as the "Pastor-in-Chief," noted that it reminded him of the line delivered in the 1956 biblical epic, The Ten Commandments, where Edwin G. Robinson, in his wonderfully biblical accent, intones to Charlton Heston, "Where's your god now, Moses?"

But enough post-election gloating. I see some storms a-brewin'.

It's been a week since the off-year elections, and the dust has settled. It's clear now that the Democrats will hold a clear majority in the House of Representatives, as well as the slimmest of majorities in the Senate. That's assuming Joe Lieberman doesn't jump ship. As The Boston Globe reports today, on Sunday's Meet the Press Lieberman refused to rule out switching to the Republican party. Since he always said he was running as an "Independent Democrat," we'll see how well he'll be able to resist selling out to the highest bidder. Because as Joe said, "I am going to Washington beholden to no political group except the people of Connecticut and, of course, my conscience."

We may just learn how flexible one man's conscience can be.

Let the bidding begin.
