Shifting Greenwich to Greenwich Village

It’s that time of the Olympiad again. The day is nearing: when the self-loathing Californians will decide on the future of Iraqi Kurds, when the waterless Kansan farmers will create life prospects of Kosovars and when pompous Manhattan artists will draw gas pipe lines through Afghanistan.

Yes, the United States presidential elections are coming up.

Americans will choose their next Dempublican leader to lead the whole lot. Bay Area will still outsource software development and insource restaurants, Kansan farmers will still vote Republican and expect subsidies for their ever-drying land, and New Yorkers will still learn about their lives on HBO.

Us barbarians, stuck outside Rome, will watch in envy.

P.S. I support the Green Party.
