Pace on Earth

A Change Would Do You Good

I find it very hard not to get wrapped up in the American political brouhaha every four years. They just do such and effective job of making such a spectacle of it. Even though the conventions of the last couple of weeks are full of BS aimed squarely at rallying the respective party bases it's still hard not to watch, maybe in the hopes of a train wreck.

It hasn't happened yet. The Democrats had a wildly successful convention that did what they hoped it would. The Republicans had their convention storm-stayed for a day and that allowed them to push Dubya to the fringes where he will cost them the least votes. The big news from that side came from the plucky VP choice Sarah Palin. I will reserve judgement on her but I have to admit that I love a country where the announcement of a political candidate can lead to websites like this. God bless America!

The Daily Show is and has been one of my favourite shows but this is the time that it really is can't miss tv. Amazingly you can watch it all online the day after it airs - for real!

You can consider this my official endorsement for Barach Obama as my choice for President of the USofA.

Pace out.
