…interesting take on the election
god bless digg. i found this little ditty a couple days ago and kept it saved, knowing i’d want to blog about it at some point. it’s a blog from a swedish archaeologist, blogger, journal editor, public speaker, so on and so forth, about u.s. politics. here’s a quote, and the link to read the whole thing (worth the two minutes it’ll take you)
From a European perspective, US politics are an ongoing battle between the extreme Right and the middle Right. The Republican presidential candidates are really, really scary people in my view. So all of us in the world at large who live under the shadow of US political hegemony are holding our breaths, hoping that Clinton or Obama will make it into office. They’re pretty bad, but the alternative would be unspeakably dreadful.
amen… but, ron paul must have a media blackout in europe too. otherwise this guy might have hope.
