"Let it be one cheerful rational voice amidst the din of mourners and polemics." Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1840. A Brit-in-Helsinki's blog about global politics, climbing, cycling, things that annoy me and other bits of life. But not necessarily in that order.

I've done my part, and in fact just received confirmation that my mail-in ballot was received and processed yesterday. Now I'm just debating whether or not to stay up and watch the results come in, or just get a good night of sleep so I can be ready to celebrate (and work) tomorrow... the flag I picked up from hid DNC acceptance speech in hand.
And yes, come on America!
*his*
I'm jealous! :-) Have you heard the Bugle? It's John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman's podcast from Times Online - look it up on iTunes. Last week they were talking about the outrageous voter suppression that was going on by the Americans who keep going on about the Constitution blah blah blah and not let us English folk vote. I was completely in agreement with them! :-)
Cool... I haven't heard of it, but will check it out.
Personally I'd love it if you did some US / UK discussions at some point on this blog. I have lots of questions about why British TV news is relatively dispassionate and better at critical perspectives compared to US TV news, yet a reverse condition seems to be the case for US / UK newspapers? Also, why do the Brits seem to have better TV comedy and Americans better TV drama? So many questions...
