The midterm elections are behind us. The victors have raised their glasses in triumph; the losers have waved goodbye, wailed like banshees in the face of defeat, or called fraud on the election. The yard signs and banners are coming down, and commercial television has jettisoned political ads and recommenced selling beer, meds, and cars.

Whatever else the past few years and this election have taught us, one thing is for certain: A lot of Americans these days gobble down politics like a Great Dane devouring a bowl of kibble.
