A relative in the States (a staunch Democrat) sent this to me and I just had to share it with everyone: Bush is my shepherd; I dwell in want. He maketh logs to be cut down in national forests. He leadeth trucks into the still wilderness. He restoreth my fears. He leadeth me in the …
[Update: Latest reports at CNN] By the time I wake up in the little city-island of Singapore, America would have voted. If the polls are anything to go by, George Bush junior will win by a narrow margin. However the Democrats may gain a new Senator in the very charismatic Barack Obama (did you hear …
Soon, America will vote and the fate of a good part of the world will lie in the hands of one man, once again. Only thing is, we’re not entirely sure who it’s going to be. And I certainly hope it won’t depend on 537 votes again. In local news, an Indian astrologer predicted that …

I wonder what is in the mind of each voting American. From the individual reactions, the staunch partisans are staying where they …
I’m glad that an international conference was held recently in Kenya which called for a ban on female genital mutilation. It’s been about five years since I last studied in law school, but the process is gruesome enough to linger in my mind. My views on some other topics have changed, but I am still …
In the same fashion as Apple’s Switch ads (to the uninitiated, a series of testimonials from ex-PC/Windows users who’ve left the Blue Screen of Death behind), someone’s come up with a Switch ad for registered Republicans who want to vote for Kerry. Wired has a comprehensive article about this radical political movement. A sample quote …
