This was an opinion poll,

was it not? I'm not sure that anyone's telling us who we can elect.

Just as I can express my

opinions about Putin, Tony Blair, or Benito Mussolini, so too can our neighbors express how they feel about the

stupid things we're up to.

Weird, though, because last I heard, Obama was disliked - quite strongly in

places - overseas. I guess they hate the McCain/Palin tagteam just that vehemently. And I can't say I blame

them. In general, between Palin and Obama (and especially after 8 years of a mental midget playing War Games with

the rest of the world), we deserve every bit of the mirth and distain that comes our way.
