http://globescan.com/commentary-and-analysis/press-releases/press-releases-2012/245-global-poll-obama-overwhelmingly-preferred-to-romney.html. I don't know whether the rest of the world laughs at us for almost electing Romney. I suspect they grimace instead.

Most people I have spoken to have the feeling that we, the world, dodged a bullet there. We're already afraid of the next election.
I still think that if the US pres. wants to style himself 'leader of the free world' there had better be an election in which the free world can have its say.

Oregon didn't legalise it, apparently. Let's call him Seattle, instead.
There's a guy up in Seattle that drives around in a van and sells seriously high quality pot out of it. He delivers. It's great.

I also instinctively thought "why is requiring photo ID a bad thing?" but then I thought about our system. Here, all I have to do is turn up at the correct polling station and announce my name. I don't have to show any kind of ID whatsoever, including my polling card. There is nothing at all to stop me rocking up to someone else's station and using their name. I have never heard of it being a problem. However, if I were required to produce addressed photo ID I'd be in a bind, because my driver's licence has my mum's address on it and I vote at a station 200 miles away from there.

And that's why ID laws are also an effective tool to disenfranchise college students, aka another group of damn liberals.
