Someone really should tell these people that the sun isn't a planet...

You Are From the Sun |
 Of all your friends, you're the shining star. You're dramatic - loving attention and the spotlight. You're a totally entertainer and the life of the party. Watch out! The Sun can be stubborn, demanding, and flirty. Overall, you're a great leader and great friend. The very best! |
Well I thought I may as well add my thoughts on this, after being virtually glued to the news for the past 2 days. I blame my A-Level politics course.
I felt the election was pretty close, with most of the tension towards the end where the final result depended on whether Ohio called Republican or Democrat. Kerry conceaded the election when it became apparent that Bush had the lead in Ohio, although it had not yet been called what party it would favour. Even if it was true, I still think Kerry should have stuck with it until the end. Call me a fool, but I seem to get hung up a lot on matters of principal.
Now despite not actually living in America, all the way through the elction campaign I had always wanted to see a Democrat victory. Not that I feel Kerry would neccesarily be that much better than Bush, but because of what happened with Iraq, I just wanted to see Bush out of the White House. The fanatics are predicting the end of the world, saying that Bush will end up nuking everywhere. Perhaps a litte far flung, but it would be foolish to think that Bush won't continue his "war on terror" into other countries other than Iraq and Afghanistan.
Although I am dissapointed Kerry didn't win, I don't think its all that bad. 4 more years, and Bush is out no matter what thanks to the American constitution stopping people holding the presidency for more than 2 terms. And just think, we will be treated to another 4 years of Deadringers/2DTV impersonations. Which will be nice.
Related to the elction, I feel I must link to a video from Albino Blacksheep. A little late perhaps, all I can say is be prepared (or maybe not).
