Well, it's a lot more than that, longpecker redneck (love the name) but feel free to stay above the BS line where it is mostly all things musical.

I have to say that I also thought the Guardian was going further than any newspaper ever would..but if you did read the website, you'd see it wasn't as much about backing a candidate that you from another country had no voice in voting for, but just to let people in the states know that the rest of the world is both watching and directly involved whether we like it or not.

Me, I would have offered up Kerry, but I would also have made it clear that I WAS a US voter and therefore quite partison in my wanting them to first of all, register, and second of all, know how both the candidates were thought of outside of the US.

As it turned out, the list was closed. I'll have to keep my pseudo intellectual thoughts to myself.

(PS-I only WISH that most Americans were as well informed about other governments outside their own. It is to me, a county living in a bubble that was burst for the first time on 9/11, and still would rather blow up another one to hide in than join the rest of the world and work together to solve it's problems...whoops there I am, spreading more of that pseudo-intellectual garbage. Maybe I'll try to get a job at the Guardian.)
