It's been a week now. I think I'm just going to have to get everything else out of my system (and blog drafts file) in one go:
A Right to Vote? Not in the United States - OK so in the light of last week's events this may be starting to look like sour grapes.
But, you know what? I . Don't . Care.
It's a
Big Blue World out there. Ever wonder if the US re-elected Bush simply out of tiny-minded cussedness?
Meanwhile many of my American friends are exploring their options regarding relocation. However, even for those who go as far as
marrying a Canadian this approach has a few inherent disadvantages:
Bill Hicks once told a story about an American friend of his who complained about the USA. When told, "well, if you don't like it then move somewhere else" the friend's reply would be, "What? And become a victim of our foreign policy?"
(quote found on Boing Boing: Kerry concedes.)
Four More Years of Living on the Other Side of A Country - a New Yorker's personal take on recent events.
www.bushrecall.org - home of "Lord of the Right Wing", still an entertaining flash movie
Fuck the South - a rather pithy little rant with some interesting observations on the viability of some states' isolationist attitudes.
Final thoughts on the US elections - this guy eloquently explains the reasons behind the overwhelming sense of depression evoked by Bush's re-election. And the concluding paragraph is...erm...novel.
He also has a laudably imaginative way of using
weather.com to help him depict
the view from his family homestead.
Private Eye's cover pretty much says it all
