Foreign readers: here’s your chance
I don’t know if I really have any readership outside the U.S., but just in case I do, I have a proposition for you. My friend Ken showed me this:

What it is: people all over the world will be affected by the upcoming election, and the great majority of them can’t vote in U.S. elections. But here’s your chance to have some say. Just go to the website above, fill in your email address (they promise they won’t spam you), and you will be given the address of someone in Clark County, Ohio. This county is very divided, and only 324 votes separated Democrats from Republicans in the last election. So, you can write a letter to a voter there and explain your position and try to influence him or her to vote in a way that you think is right.
This site is non-partisan; you can try to sway people however you like. Having spoken to people in Ireland, though, it’s my understanding that much of Europe is pretty horrified by the prospect of 4 more years of George W. Bush. I can’t blame them. I’m horrified too.
