So here it is, Election Day 2008. We've been looking forward to this for four years. That's crazy. Just so we're all aware I was living with NGH IIII when the race set off. Grace was a Freshman in High School, and Green Gables Cheese Burgers were.... well not much has changed with them, still delicious!
I spent the day in the Dail. I voted last week absentee. Speaking of Which......
GET OUT THERE AND VOTE IF YOU HAVEN'T! I don't care who for, just get out there and let the world know that you care, and that your voice is worth being heard.
OK PA is over.
In any case I spent the day in the Dail working for Billy. I wrote two questions for him to ask in the Dail tomorrow, one which I hated, one which I loved. The first one was to Bash Obama's Tax policy because Ireland gets hosed pretty hard. The other one was to ask why on earth Europe has done nothing about the crisis in the Congo right now. In case you don't know recently rebels last week took a major city in the Congo. 55,000 people are displaced because of it - adding to the 900,000 refugees in the country after decades of war. The city was the main center of aid for the country. 17,000 UN - all of which are from Asia - troops are in the Congo right now, instead of doing something they left the city to the Rebels. Once again Tutsi's are attacking Hutu's backed by the Rwandan Government, and Once again Europe and the US are sitting on their hands.
I'll leave it to you to decide which question I enjoyed writing more.
The big news though is that I wrangled a Ticket from my TD to a private party tonight. That's right folks yours truly has an invite to a private election night party hosted by the US Ambassador at the Guinness Factory. Yep that's right partying with Dublin hot shots in a glass room stories above Dublin... God I love this country.
Remember get out and vote! No excuse not to, except maybe voting for Ralph Nader then you can stay home! Just kidding....kinda
