Voting Day In Iraq

I've heard from several different news agencies that during election in Iraq, over 8000 candidates are running for office from 270 political parties.

(Note: I'm not going to link the articles I've read.  I trust you are able to find reputable news on the Internet and if you can't, just tune into the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.)

If America, with all our "high tech" election and voting paraphernalia, can't figure out who won the election out of two candidates, how the hell are the Iraqis going to figure out who won with such a mind-boggling array of candidates and parties? 

Note: I could insert a really bad joke here referencing Father's Day at the Sunny Daze Trailer Park, but I leave that to your imagination.

hello.. My name is andy Field. I stumbled upon your blog while trying to gather info on the KKK robe auction. I am an activist with the group Direct Action! in lansing. And my comrades and I are trying to figure out if we should come there to protest or not or if there is somethingmore we can do. We were wondering if you could tell us anything about this Mr Gray.. what are his political ideas, is he in the Clan? I mean there is no way that it was any sort of cuincidence that he chose to have this auction on MLK day.. And I dont care.. ANYONE who auctions something like that off and doesnt destroy it and spit on it, is a practicing racist! But Im curious about his ties. if any..

What kind of buisness does he run? does he have a family? are they all white supremisists? any info you can give us would be wonderful..

I enjoyed reading your blog.
