Take it from the foreigner!

Ok, people, instead of sitting there and reading my blog, go vote. While you have my deepest sympathy for not having a ballot the length of a typical American supermarket receipt like we civilized Europeans do, there are no excuses for the abysmal voter participation in the US. Unfortunately my honorary American citizenship (thanks, Sarah :-)) won't get me an absentee ballot.

Of course with the time difference, I won't experience any of the excitement of watching this thing unfold live (or sitting through ling lab while world-changing events are going on, as the case may be). So hopefully when I wake up tomorrow, this whole thing will be settled.

But, just to announce this to the world now, I've been calling the election since June, and I think it'll be a solid win for Bush. Now go and prove me wrong -this is the one bet I'm more than happy to lose!
