Iraqi election

According to Chuck Henry, the co-anchor for channel 4 news in the Los Angeles area, there was a "historical erection in Iraq". This happened last night so I'm just waiting to see what will be popping up (no pun intended) on the Internet on this in the next 24-48 hrs. Has that ever happened to you? You intended to say one thing, but a different word pops out of your mouth before you have time to correct yourself? Embarrassing for the person who uses the wrong word, but it's really funny to those all around! :)

I'm going to get serious here for a bit. Don't worry, it won't last long...

They say that 60% of the Iraqi nationals came out to vote yesterday. That's about the same percentage as we have here in the U.S. Don't you find it sad that we live in a free country where you don't have to watch your back as you go to the polls and yet, people don't take the time out of their day to vote??? We complain if we have to wait in line more than 15 minutes at our polling stations!! The Iraqis were risking their lives by going to the polls. Granted, they have to watch their backs everyday regardless of the election day, but still....

Well, that's my political thought for the day. Who would have thought that I would actually blog about something a bit more profound??? Shh!!! Don't tell anyone!!!
