Meanwhile, to top it all off, we've got military helicopters flying obnoxiously low making loops over Silicon Valley for the past two hours and they are rattling cars, car alarms are sounding off, and office buildings are shaking from their low flights - they'll probably crash into one of the buildings if they continue to fly so obnoxiously low. The repeatedly loud sound and shaking from these military helicopters is absolutely ridiculous - makes Larry Elison's notoriously obnoxious planes sound good. Do they plan on flying the entire night to disturb everyone? I'll be glad when the Dems get control of Congress, to create some resemblance of balance. Has there ever been a time one party has controlled all three branches of the govt? It's like living in a militant state.

Interesting question. I think this is the first time that all three branches have been controlled by one party. However, there has been plenty of times when one party has controlled both Congress and the presidency. The last time was Bill Clinton in 1993-94. In fact, since FDR's presidency, it has been the Dems who controlled both the presidency and Congress.

Interestingly enough, the only time aside from now when the GOP has controlled both Congress and the presidency was in 1953-54 at the height of the McCarthy era. Does that speak volumes or what?
