The US Midterm Elections from a disgruntled Singaporean

Folks,

As Mike promised I will be recounting the happenings in a land far from mine, but whose results will have great bearing on the course of global human affairs.

Why did I agree to do it, despite the fact that the bulk of my readership (all twenty of you) come from Singapore? To put it simply, Mike blackmailed me. Well at first he to blackmail me by having crudely photoshopped images of me in compromising positions with goats, rabbits and even a hedgehog sent to the national newspapers in Singapore. I then very calmly pointed out that the editors at the Straitjacket Times, may be dumb enough to be taken in by his bluff but bestiality is the least of their sins, so they might actually be sympathetic towards me and sue Mike for a million bucks. He then threatened to have those images sent to PETA. Those dumbfucks would believe anything and may just be motivated enough to act.

The last thing I want to tackle at this moment is a hundred angry, unwashed, tofu-swilling self-righteous animal-Taliban, so I reluctantly agreed.

Mike really can be an asshole sometimes.

Anyway the silver lining on this whole shebang is, maybe the jocks who read my site might actually come out slightly more aware of happenings in the US that do not involve Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise or Ashlee Simpson. I live in hope.

So tomorrow I will dissect the election results to the best of my ability. I hope for no big surprises, and predict that the Democrats might narrowly win in the House of Representatives (House of Commons, Lok Sabha for us civilised people) while the Senate remains in the hands of the Repubs. Let's see how it goes. I have it from Mike that he shall not interfere in this election, and if the Americans are stupid enough to elect the Rethuglicans for another term, they deserve all the shit they get.
