Yes, I am in paradise, but I'm also pretty pumped about my man Obama.
What's surprised me is how pumped everyone in Thailand is about this election. Every time I hopped in a cab and they asked in broken English where I'm from, the first response to "New York City" is always "Barack Obama!" Oftentimes, they'd go on and talk to me about who has more foreign policy experience or if America can really elect a Black President. Sure, the US elections affect everyone, but it's amazing how knowledgeable my cab drivers have been.
Anyway, with this election seeming pretty much wrapped up, I'm going to go hang on the beach.

Man, I love this meme. Buzzfeed has some links but the evolution one on America Blog is possibly the best.

Unlike most days, when this site is bustling with activity and new posts, today I'm putting up Matt's vote page to remind ya'll to get out there and pull that lever, push that button or whatever it is you do to make your vote count.
