  I was commenting on the nature of the satire, not on how biting or funny it was. And I'd respectfully stick to my guns, and reiterate that you're not going to see an Obama version of the Palin poster ...

  Yeeeess ... but that's as much because Obama, as the comics have been complaining, offers so little satiric potential as compared to Palin. Once you get past messiah jokes, he doesn't given you much. Palin, on the other hand, has so much satiric potential she satirises herself ...

  From the NZ Herald US election blog:

  Rap mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combes cast his vote in NYC, telling AP: "I'm not trying to be dramatic, but I just felt like, Martin Luther King, and I felt the whole civil rights movement, I felt all that energy, and I felt my kids,' he said.

  And it looks like it's going to be a long day of teh stupid on The Herald's Your Views.

  My first US general election voting experience:

  Thanks Karen!

  Does anybody have a perspective on why the American voting process is such an amazing shambles?

  The first year I went to Glastonbury, a guy was selling, of all things, leftover Michael Dukakis campaign t-shirts -- 70p each, I think.

  I wore mine in all irony till it fell apart.

  Just telling a story to pass the time ...
