I mailed my ballot today. Wild guess who I voted for? Anyone, anyone?
The guy at the uni bookstore told me to take it downtown so I knew it would get there in time. I drop in to the bookstore to mail stuff a bunch, so this kid pretty well knows my taste in books and candy, which means he pretty well knows me. And he just grinned and said "Barack!".
"Heck yeah."
"Everyone who mailed their ballot here told me they voted for Barack."
So American academics abroad voted Obama - surprise surprise.
Get out there and vote, Americans!!! And then let's get to work.
P.S Alternately, should Nov. 5th bring us more of the same, you're always welcome to seek respite here with me on the far side of the world.
