seldearI was tempted to say something to the effect of:
And then I realised that I didn't vote in the recent Australian elections.
However, that was because I was a lapsed voter and I didn't get my rego in soon enough to be allowed it. Otherwise, I'd have braved the leaflet-hander-outers and gone voted with my sister. Never mind that our area is blue-ribbon Liberal (which, in American terms, probably means closer to the Republican policies than the Democratic policies - go figger).
Y'all are voting, right? Every one of you on my flist that is in the US of A? Land of the free, the *mumbles something - I keep thinking it's 'stout' but that can't be right*, and the brave, etc, etc, etc... (Hey, it's not my national anthem! We're just young and free here in the land of Oz.)
Oh, and that wank I pointed out the other week? 500+ replies. And the lady who 'caused' it all (not the Danielite Diva - who apparently made a big song and dance at sgfic) is having a field day! (Remember the 2002 GC auction? It's like that, only at F_W!)

Date: 2004-11-01 08:00 pm (UTC)I am cheering for one party over another, but what I think of the US elections hardly matters in the immediate form. Other than having much rejoicing and dancing on some flist journals, and much mourning and outraging on others.
