...less than 24 hours, polling booths will be open, ballots will be marked and the dwindling numbers of ambivalent voters will have to choose. We are bombarded with information, political banter and statistics (some more true than others) from various media outlets, all intended to help us make a choice.

The manager at a pizza shop I frequent bemoans his abundance of education (a masters degree) as worthless, considering he makes $500 per month and still can’t get a British, Canadian or American visa. The guy at the crepe place is saving up his money to try to bribe a poor American girl into marrying him for six months...
