Great name! Have you been out protesting? I've seen pictures, and I'm so happy there are so many anti-Bush people in NYC!
BBC Parliament Channel is running the RNC just as they did the DNC, but I doubt we'll watch very much. It's showing previews of the convention right now, and this one guy (I missed his name) was spouting about trickle-down economics. You know, tax cuts for those billionaires will help everyone else. Ian and I are both home today because it's a bank holiday, and we had to change the channel or we would have thrown something heavy at the television. And it's certainly not the actual TV set's fault. ;)
Or economics that hurt pretty much everyone in the US who isn't making millions... and the repercussions wind up affecting those of us who don't live in the US also. :(
I grew up in the US, but I live in the UK now. I'm here permanently. I still am able to vote in US presidential elections, and I've already requested my absentee ballot -- from a state that requires all postal ballots be at the county clerk's office by the close of the polls on election day. Unlike Florida. ;)
