I'm also proud of the fact that tomorrow we will either have an African-American as President or a woman as vice-president. I'm impressed by how many Americans turned out to vote this year. I may not agree with all of the politics of either sets of candidates, but I was glad to get a chance to vote this year.
I keep meaning to post a real update, but oh well...

It probably goes without saying that I find her stances on many issues to be very troubling. Especially on reproductive rights. I would just assume that she never be involved with the executive branch. I'd be fine if we made her an ambassador- perhaps with the Russian Federation? As she has claimed, she has foreign policy experience, based upon her tenure as governor of Alaska.

So if you are lost without a car and have web broswer capabilities on your cell phone, you might be able to find a way to get home.
I've been doing okay. Some days, better than others. I have been back in Albany for a couple of weeks now. My classes have been interesting, and my job is doing well. II hope all of you are having a great time in Buffalo!

The strange thing about is that hackers in the Russian Federation is actively attacking governmental, military, and personal sites in Georgia. Hackers spam the sites to the point where they stopped running. It's considered by some to be cyber warfare.
