Well, our news only covered the Democratic candidates, they seem to have decided that McCain has it sewn up for the GOP. But yes, I do despair of US news. Fingers crossed it will turn out to be without Indonesian influence in any way. They have seemed to step away from East Timor in the last few years, I can only hope it's really the case.

I eat lots of veges that contain silica, but not sand, because that would be weird.
