Thoughts on the American election: - it is a shame the meteor didn't run again - too many states start with M, not enough with E or Y, this strikes me as unfair - red and blue remain boring colours, why not try a nice fuschia?

- people seem overly fond of chanting, given that votes are in fact on paper and thus cannot be changed by words alone - unless the chanting is some kind of wizardy, in which case there are more wizards in Arizona/Pennsylvania than I was expecting

- too many people are saying the words "Joe Biden is on top" which raises disturbing imagery of a Trump/Biden embrace - this is, thankfully, better than saying "Trump is on the bottom" which is far more evocative a phrase

- American accents elide the words "polls" and "Poles", giving the confusing impression that Polish people are pivotal to the election in some way - clearly the solution to this is to hire more Australians to comment on the US election

- there is no particular magic in "calling" a vote, unless you are an electoral official - thus, I would like to call the presidential election in my favour, despite not running, and being Australian, because the gig pays somewhat better than an epidemiologists salary

Michigan is shaped like a mitten, with an extra chunk on top. People in the "lower" part of the state tell you where they live by pointing to the right spot on their upheld hand. People in the "upper peninsula" are called Yoopers [UPers] and are actually from another planet.
