Political stuff

You know you're too interested in politics when you're fascinated by another country's political process. BBC Parliament has been showing replays of the Democratic National Convention from C-Span and I've been fascinated *g* I heard some (sadly not all *pout*) of Kerry's speech last night and I have to agree with what everyone else is saying - the boy done good. If I were American, I'd be rushing down to the polls in November to vote for him. I'm wondering whether I can finally persuade my American best friend to vote for Kerry. The last time we talked politics (admittedly a couple of years ago) she was still a Bush fan for the sole reason that he's Christian. I'm not condemning the man's religion (I know that Kerry is Catholic), but I've never seen religion as a good reason to vote for someone. It's a debate I've had with her before, though, and probably one that we'll keep having. I'm hoping that the last year may have finally knocked some sense into my friend. Last night, Kerry was talking about the America that my friend always described to me and I'd like to see that America again.

Particularly if I'm gonna be sharing a border with them in a few years *g*

I ate Chinese food last night so I can't really do it again today. But I want to so much....
