The filibuster ends, what does it all mean?

Evidently, nothing much.  Just a lot of "sound and fury, signifying nothing".

Rush Limbaugh says that the GOP could retaliate, but probably won't.

RedState points out that McConnell thinks its time "to be sad".

The Tea Party normally shows more spirit than this, but the only thing that they are willing to threaten the GOP-establishment-types like McConnell with is a primary fight.

The problem goes pretty deep.  Maybe the entire culture is screwed.  Everybody is more into serving themselves than their country.  It's all about me, me, me.  It is a money obsessed culture too, when money is worshipped above all other things, it will be the root of all evil that will befall us.

So the country sinks into the abyss, and all the political hacks can think of is the next election.  Such is the state we are in.
