Apparantly … there’s some kind of Election taking place here today.
And no, I can’t vote. Because I’m not naturalized, a citizen, whatever you want to call it – instead, I just live here.
So here’s the 2008 Presidential Election site for legal Aliens for anyone else (and I met two Canadian’s last night who like me – can’t vote) who just … live here.
I started my blog as a continuation of the daily write-up that I did when I got 500 people to give me 50p so that I could buy an iPod.
There's a lot of tube related stuff on this site due to me being a former World Record Holder for travelling around the entire network (275 stations) in the fastest time possible back in May 2004.
After living in London for the first 33 years of my life and working for the BBC News website I moved to Charleston, South Carolina in the USA in May 2006 for three and a half years before moving back to England and back to work for the BBC in November 2009.
So for ten weeks in June, July and August 2009, I drove 20,000 miles around the the lower 48 contiguous states of the USA visiting towns and places that shared the same name as places on The London Tube Map.

Incidentally, I’m creating an ‘Election’ based playlist but have got stuck after just two songs!
Arcadia – “Election day”, and
Duran Duran – “Meet El Presidente”.
anyone got any others?
Put “rock the vote” and “vote” in iTunes and plenty of fodder comes up.
Not a song but what about the group, Presidents of the USA
Ditto.
Shame that page disagrees with Flash on my computer.
Alice Cooper – Elected. A fantastic song!
The Who – Won’t Get Fooled Again
Going back a bit, but…
Tears for Fears – Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Is it just me, or does your US map look like a fish nibbling at the surface of some water?

Again, not a song, but a band,
The Dead Kennedys!
Number 7, yes it looks like a fish, definitely! How about George Bush singing ‘You’re gonna miss me’ by the Turntable Orchestra, reached no.52 in the charts in 1989, or ‘Black Superman’ by Johnny Wakelin 1975
