Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
John Murtha will chair the Appropriations committee (that funds the troops overseas, among other things).
Charley Rangel will chair the Ways and Means committee. Goodbye, Bush tax cuts and economic improvements.
John Conyers will chair the Judiciary committee. Hello, impeachment proceedings.
Alcee Hastings (a former federal judge impeached and removed for corruption and bribery) will chair the Intelligence committee.
If the two outstanding Senate races end up the way they are currently leaning, the Senate will be 51-49 (assuming the two independents caucus with the democrats. That would mean SENATOR KENNEDY WOULD CHAIR THE ETHICS COMMITTEE.

I didn’t know you were in the service, Tom. Whenever I’m out with my kids and I see a man in uniform, if I can I shake his hand. I am just so grateful for the protection they provide for our country, and personally for my children.
Can’t shake your hand on line, but please receive my thanks. You’ve always been an honorable man in my mind. It’s not surprising to hear you’d make such an admirable choice.

Thanks, Ethan! I’ll shake your hand any time, unless you just dropped the Queen of Spades on me…
