One thing is certain. For the next few days
we're going to hear a lot of silliness from
pundits and politicians about the meaning
of this election.
This midterm defeat for the Democrats
was inevitable from the moment Obama
was elected with a combination of such
high hopes - almost messianic among
some of his supporters - and such difficult
problems to overcome.
The next few days would be a good time
to take Nassim Taleb's advice and avoid
the newspapers, cable news channel and
NPR. It would be about as useful as
listening to the endless stream of banal
clichès streaming out of Republican
victors' mouths about "taking back the
country."
