The Economist’s Global Electoral College

Posted on September 25, 2008 - Filed Under American Politics, New Media, Obama | 2 Comments

Here’s another great new media project from The Economist. As the name suggests, it’s a global poll of support for candidates in the US presidential election, but based on the rather archaic electoral college system that still structures US elections. Thus, every country’s vote is weighted according to population, giving a total of 9,875 electoral [...]

I haven’t listened to the band in years, but I still feel bad for Noel on seeing this. What kind of asshole goes to see a band and then assaults their main songwriter?

I can’t have been the first person to notice this, but they sound almost exactly the same. The Russian press knows the score…

Dear Ireland, We’re sorry, but full episodes of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report are not available. In the words of a good friend of mine, what a load of cock.

(For those not following the presidential race too closely, the McCain camp has spent the last week throwing tons of muck and telling outright lies about Obama, with the result that many on the left are getting quite wound up and demanding that Barack counter-punch in a big way. However, other, generally more considered voices [...]

Another tuneful gem from Slipknot. I have a hazy recollection of jumping around to this in the Bróg last night. I’m pretty sure that I must have looked like a complete idiot…

Proceeding by Indirection to Nowhere

Blogging while drunk is generally/always a very bad idea, but here goes it anyhow. There’s this girl in my class that I really like, but I can’t seem to hit off a proper conversation with her. I’m kind of shy anyway, so inevitably I’m already after having a few on each occasion that I’ve actually [...]

Sarah Palin doesn’t have a clue what’s she talking about in this interview with Charlie Gibson. The Daily Show on small town values at the Republican National Convention. Finally, and I never thought I’d say this, but right on, Matt Damon!

Oh, and it was quite a surprise to get back home, turn on the television and discover we’ve apparently won the war in Iraq! Yeah, some woman from Alaska said so – apparently that troop surge was all we needed! That’s good news, because I was starting to think all the shame and embarrassment I’ve [...]

As somebody studying medicine, news such as this probably shouldn’t cheer me up: WASHINGTON — The North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is seriously ill and might have suffered a stroke weeks ago, an American intelligence official in Washington said Tuesday, after Mr. Kim failed to attend an unexpectedly small-scale celebration of his country’s 60th anniversary.

This video of Nine Inch Nails playing live is intended to balance out the last video I posted. Besides, I can’t very well have Aerosmith music involved in the first thing visitors find on my blog…
