Yet as a first time political campaign contributor — a contributor to Obama’s campaign — I’ve been left pretty cold by [...]

I love America. But am I “pro-American?” Until recently, I had no idea my “pro-hood” was in question. Now I have the McCain-Palin campaign suggesting I don’t live in “real” America or that some parts of America are more “heartland-like” or “patriotic” than where I live. Knock it off. It’s not right.

Another Thanksgiving in Britain, another year of missing the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade live on TV. But the webcast is happening again! You’ll find it here, and my thoughts about viewing it from abroad from last year are in my Watching The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade From Abroad post. Postscript: Damn, CNN apparently had a [...]

Need to register for elections in the US but confused since you’re overseas? The Overseas Vote Foundation is a new site I just heard of designed to help. Haven’t used it, myself (I’m already registered), but it looks promising.

Ah, another 4th Of July in Britain. For the American father, it’s time to break out the propaganda and indoctrinate my children! Last year’s 4th Of July Books For The Kids post from me covers some of what’s been on my reading list for the kids this week. But tonight I wanted to talk about [...]
