In another country
In another country, there is an election tonight.
Plenty of websites cover it. The Scripting News discussion group is looking for exit polls… so far they are not doing better than confirmed reports. Besides, Swedish media has every kind of coverage you can ask for: TV, Web, chat, phone boards, continously updated maps… everything except genuine personal interest.
And that pretty much describes me, too. I am not American and therefore won’t vote - but this depressing spectacle will affect me and everyone else in the world, and probably not for good.
Since I am up working anyway, I keep this window open and the TV on (in another room - I never cared much for TV, anyway 
).
It’s raining outside and the wind is getting worse - maybe the storm is coming, after all?
My, this election is close! I’m still awake, it’s now morning in Sweden and only Florida is left.
Well, that’s it. In this not-so-clear choice between bad and worse, worse won a triple-slam - and now “dignified” politicians from both parties are on TV, congratulating each other for having such noble professions and practicing their best lies about working together.
To quote HST: Jesus, what a bummer!
