Brown getting elected in Massachusetts is a big deal for now because it removes the break-back power from the Democrats that was theirs for too long. The Supermajority is dead. Ding-dong.
This has shown just how dangerous a Democracy is. We are a Republic, folks. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. Individual rights are paramount, not the rights of a majority OR a minority. The crazies to the far side of either political spectrum would love to have you believe otherwise so they can smash through laws, referendums, amendments and bills that will destroy your freedoms.
You think you are free but you are not. You believe you live in a Democratic Republic, but you do not. You believe that money is backed by gold, but it is not. You think that your rights are protected but they are not. You believe that your government works for you, but it does not. You believe that your government is in control, but it is not. You believe that all Americans are equal, but we are not. You believe that the Economy can be fixed the way it exists, but it cannot. You would like to believe that your children have a bright future — but they do not.

Better news for a change. From the AP:
A White House-backed bill to revamp immigration laws stalled in the Senate on Thursday, handing President George W. Bush a major legislative setback.
The sharply divided Senate refused to limit debate on the fragile compromise hammered out by a bipartisan group of senators and the White House. The vote was 45-50, 15 short of the 60 votes needed to advance major legislation in the Senate.
As a result of the action, the legislation was set aside and the Democratic-majority Senate moved on to other legislation.
