Big win?
Rumor has it that the Pirates had a big win last night, via a dramatic homer from Daryle Ward.
At least that's the word on the streets of London.
In other news, today is election day in the UK. The street are lined with anti-Blair posters and billboards. In an odd twist, it seems that the general population over here is much more well informed about politics than the US, but much less passionate. Even though the prime-minister is up for election today, not a lot about the election can be found on the news or in the rags.
Despite the wall to wall anti-Blair sentiment, he is expected to win by a narrow margin.
BTW, most Brits, if not all, still vote by paper ballot. Why do we need fancy election rigging machines in the US? I just don't know. Or maybe I do know.

You couldn't protest like they do in the UK here in the US. Protestors get within feet of the candidates, are peaceful about it, but make their feelings known. If you got within 3 miles of Bush with a protest sign, they'd have you in Gitmo within hours. Glad to hear that the trip is going well, and that you finally understand what "relegation" means in football. They should have relegation and 2nd Divisions in US sports too (assuming that there could be some income parity amongst teams), it would provide incentives for teams to spend all of their alloted money on players instead of lining owners pockets with refund checks. Go Arsenal!
