Today is voting day in the US of A...............everyone will be, I think, relieved to have the electioneering end. The whole process has been remarkably scandal ridden with every second republican having some dirty secret revealed (corruption is hot, sexual impropriety rife and not much talk about the issues). Democrats look set to regain Congress and its fair to say that I am not surrounded by people who universally agree who should be in power and this isn't even a presidential election.
Iraq remains a hot topic and opinion is divided among voters over whether or not the US should be there at all. With over 100 US soldiers killed last month tolerance is waning. No one is actually offering up a plan for getting out so its hard to know what the Democrats would do either.
Off the election my "favourite" story of the week is this guy - Haggard. A very prominant church spokesperson who founded his own church (New Church with 14,000 members), preached antigay and then, ta da, gets outed for having hired a male sex worker (over a 3 year period) and buying methamphetamine (which he said he threw away and didn't use - having gay sex is clearly the greater sin). He actually went on television denying the whole "sex for hire" thing..............24 hrs later he's toast, "confessed his sins" and no longer head of his own church.
