hope rising



Those of you who can vote for the next leader of the free world - get out and do it on behalf of those of us who can't. I don't even care who you vote for, as long as it's not anyone who switched all their personal beliefs just to get Pat Robertson and his ilk to vote for them.

(Watched The 700 Club for the first time this morning... further proof, by the way, if proof were needed that whoever produces the God Channel needs to maybe open a Bible every once in a while, and find out that racism, bigotry, sniping, undermining and conspiring are all things that the guys on the other side of the 'aisle' from Christ were up to...)

More important than that little rant - check out the BBC's neutral guide to the key election issues.

A funky piece of electoral math wisdom for you. 48 states use a 'Winner Takes all' method within the electoral college. Two do not - Nebraska and Maine allocate through a tiered system. Go figure.

We're staying up all night tonight for a night of election poker, in the presence of David Dimbleby no doubt. Change is a-comin'... just ask the good folks of Dixville Notch...
