God Bless America. Like the founders of this great nation we continue to carry the White Man’s Burden. We are duty bound to enter into God forsaken places like Iraq in order to bring them Democracy. Here in Ohio we believe in dying for democracy, in fighting for democracy, but really can’t that wait until after the Ohio State University vs Michigan University football match? ( It is joked that this rivalry started with a disagreement over whether Toledo belonged to Ohio or Michigan and that Ohio lost the argument.) The Franklin county election officials have decided to delay counting the votes by more than two weeks until after OSU has played Michigan. Seriously, I do not know who my congressional representative is going to be because they have put off counting the votes until after the college football game.
We can “fight” for democracy abroad but we can’t even count our own votes until after a college athletic event?
