World On A String

So 60,000 ballot papers have gone missing in Florida of all places. I can't quite believe that lightning is going to strike twice after the debacle of the 2000 election. I mean it's a friggin' disgrace isn't it? And sadly it's not the only instance of murky shenanigans surfacing as the day approaches. Perhaps the time has come to send independant observers over - French, Spanish, Irish for example. Y'know people with integrity and principles - to make sure that the election for President in the World's foremost democracy takes place in a free and fair manner.

When you swan round the world flexing your muscles in the name of introducing democracy here, there and everywhere, it makes sense to make sure your own version of it is waterproof.
