It's sad that no-one's talking about it.

Our own local elections ? Hardly.

As everyone, but you apparently, has come to realize presidential
elections in the US are of global import. When condos in Florida
go belly-up, Iceland goes bankrupt. When folks default on their
mortgages in Cincinnati the Brits have to socialize their banks.
The Swiss, *THE SWISS* fer cryin' out loud, are having a banking
crisis. Local election, my ass.

The reason we're not talking about Guantanamo is because the
Bush administration is over. The story broke in the Washington Post,
we saw it, we're concerned, it will be addressed in November.
Now is not the time to deflect attention away from the economic
crisis.
