Donkeys and Elephants

Katie ran in the apartment today: "Who won, who won?"
Val: "We're nine hours ahead, the polls haven't even opened."

The sweet old woman in Lithography asked me if I can vote this year. As was the norm, I had no idea what she was taking about, but was able to piece together when she said "Obama." The newspapers here (note: even though I can't read Italian I can tell are subpar, just garbage) have been covering the election too.

I'm hoping for good news when I wake up on the 5th.

Happy Voting!

hey if you're nine hours ahead, you should know who won already.

OBAMA won! Maybe Americans aren't the ignorant ass-holes the rest of the world thinks we are! ;)
But... we still won't allow gay people to marry.
And... we still categorize Obama as African-American only, when he is half white...
Oh well, Baby steps!
