You could put a set of horns on his head, issue him a pitchfork, tattoo "666" in his forehead, and Carville would be a dead ringer for Satan.

Hope the nightmare is now over with my 5th virus this year - this latest one may have been from an older one embedded on hard drive and only activated by opening certain sites?  Tech didn't know but couldn't find it the first time, he said there was a filter blocking searches for it.  Anyway hope it's fixed finally, I've had my share for a long time.

Okay now, to keep whatever Republican pick-ups in the House of Representatives in perspective, here's a dull statistical table that should be of interest.  I'm sure members here, unlike the primitives on Skins's island, are sophisticated enough in history to "relate" the dates with particular events and personalities.

This is for the House of Representatives only, and shows (R) gains and losses.

This is from the various articles in wikipedia.

2008 -21
2006 -30 (Republicans lost control of the House)
2004 +03
2002 +08
2000 -02

1998 -05
1996 -08
1994 +54 (Republicans won control of the House)
1992 +09
1990 -08

1988 -02
1986 -05
1984 +16
1982 -26
1980 +34

1978 +15
1976 -01
1974 -48
1972 +12
1970 -12

1968 +05
1966 +47
1964 -36
1962 +02
1960 +21

1958 -48
1956 -02
1954 -18 (Republicans lost control of the House)
1952 +22 (Republicans gained control of the House)
1950 +28

1948 -75 (Republicans lost control of the House)
1946 +55 (Republicans gained control of the House)
1944 -18
1942 +47
1940 -07

1938 +81
1936 -15 (the nadir; only 89 out of 435 congressmen Republican at this point)
1934 -14
1932 -101 (Republicans lost control of the House)
1930 -52

1928 +32
1926 -09
1924 +22
1922 -77
1920 +62

1918 +25 (Republicans gained control of the House)
1916 +19
1914 +62
1912 -28
1910 -57 (Republicans lost control of the House)

1908 -04
1906 -28
1904 +44
1902 +07
1900 +13

1898 -19
1896 -48
1894 +130 (Republicans gained control of the House)
1892 +38
1890 -93 (Republicans lost control of the House)

1888 +27 (Republicans gained control of the House)
1886 +11
1884 +24
1882 -34 (Republicans lost control of the House)
1880 +19 (Republicans gained control of the House)

1878 -04
1876 +33
1874 -96 (Republicans lost control of the House)
1872 +63
1870 -35

1868 -02
1866 +37
1864 +50
1862 -22
1860 -08

1858 +26 (Republicans gained control of the House)
1856 +44
1854 +46

The Republican party came into full being in 1854; remember that before 1915, the House of Representatives had fewer than 435 members, its current number.

Please notice the number of times the president was of one party, and the House of another.

Well, what started as a short few day get away, sure didn't end that way.  Got back in the evening, next day getting in the car to go to work I screwed up my back big time.  Since then it's been every other day at the doctors, alternate ice and heat, and bed rest.  The up side is, love those pain pills.  any how, back to reality.....

6 days to go and again counting;

5 days to go and still counting; yep five more days of political lies and innuendo.  No matter how the election comes out, maybe most of the political mud slinging will be over for a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A little philosophy from the pain pill taking old fart..............
