I have been watching a bit of the [Olympics](www.ft.com/intl/london-2012-olympics) on TV ....... kinda weird not to be in London for it....... but hey........ nice to see the Russian-Ukrainian former Soviet gymnast [Larissa Latynina](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larisa_Latynina) who was the holder of the record number of Olympic medals cheering for the US swimmer Michael Phelps as he first drew with, then beat her record, she seemed genuinely delighted as she sat with his parents then celebrated his [incredible achievement](www.ft.com/cms/s/0/1b5ff2d8-db50-11e1-be74-00144feab49a.h...).
Back at the start ..... The British opening ceremony was kinda crazed........... bit off the wall......... sort of individual with room for individualism ........ different from the Chinese opening ceremony that had been so impressive four years back ........ that was so incredibly stage managed and such an impressive display of choreography .......... but actually in the end really the fitting ceremony for a totalitarian State ......... The Chinese artist and dissident [Ai WeiWei](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ai_Weiwei) compared the UK's London efforts favorably to the Chinese efforts in Beijing........

Matt tells me people are voting in State Elections today in Georgia ............. I photographed all these mad signs when I was down in Atlanta the other day............ sometimes its good to have a bit of muddle and choice ............ even if it has its massive inefficiencies....... as Winston Churchhill said : "democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others that have been tried"

These are the BEST election posters I have ever seen. They are the only posters (with the muppets) that speak the truth. Ireland has been ridden up the hole over the last few years. Perhaps even for a decade. We need to reform not alone our government and how they operate/regulate but we also need to give our bankers/developers and a few others a very, very swift kick up the arse before we crumble.

Yet another election bumper sticker that gives me pause.
Boy, if a candidate's name is Joe Early, he's kind of screwed if his campaign uses the wrong bumper stickers and signs. VOTE EARLY is efficient and punchy and fills out the sign nicely, but really, isn't everybody going to assume that it's just a nonspecific campaign to encourage general voter turnout?
Anyone who was likely to vote for him will stay home when the noon newscast reports that hundreds of thousands voted early today. Why would they bother hauling their butts out to a middle-school gym if they think he's already won in a landslide?
The candidate will also need to be on his toes when he's out there gladhanding.
"Hi, there!' he says to a random factory worker at a coffeeshop. "I'm running for the Senate. I'm Early."
"You think 9 AM is early?" the machinist sneers. "Typical Ivy League politician. You've never worked a damned day in your life, have you? You spent your first 30 years with a silver spoon in your mouth, and now you expect me to help you replace it with the golden teat of a fatcat Washington office? Why don't you go all the way to hell and don't bother coming back?"
In front of a live local news crew, to boot.
During an unscheduled stop (engine trouble) between one town and another in the Philippines and sat and watched the life of ordinary village Filipinos going about their everyday business. Quite a lot of the time not a lot is going on!
This was photographed during the run-up to local and national elections. Election posters were appearing everywhere – and many of the posted are asking the people to vote for candidates with some strange names. I just liked the juxtaposition between this man relaxing and the name on the poster above, combined with other advertising posters.

Voters defy Islamist threats in Somaliland
BBC.
There has been a strong turnout for the presidential election in Somaliland, in spite of threats by Islamist militants.
International monitors say people have formed queues at many polling stations of the self-proclaimed state.
The government closed the country's borders amid fears that Islamists from neighbouring Somalia could try to disrupt the elections.
The Islamist group al-Shabaab had warned voters to stay at home.
Earlier this week, the group had issued an audio message, describing democratic elections as "the devil's principles".
Hope for recognition
The Somaliland government had asked voters to ignore the warning.
Somaliland broke away from Somalia in 1991 and is not recognised internationally as an independent state.
Security had been beefed up ahead of today's vote
BBC analyst Martin Plaut says that the country is largely peaceful and has an effective administration - in sharp contrast to the rest of Somalia.
He says many people in Somaliland hope that if this election goes well, it will strengthen the case for independence.
Dozens of international observers are in the region to watch the vote.
Incumbent President Dahir Riyale Kahin faces two opponents: Ahmed Mohamed Silaanyo from the leading opposition party, Kulmiye, and the leader of the Justice and Welfare party, Faisal Ali Warabe.
The final result should be announced in about a week.
Term limits and the lure of the mayor’s office opened up many city council seats this year. Nine new council members were voted in yesterday.

Oh dang, Matthew was so hot in that movie. Had to make a notebook to commemorate it.
Yes, this is made from one of my vhs boxes. I have too many RCA boxes sitting around. Multicolored cardstock inside, as usual.
I arrived at the polls around 7:15 am to find a 2 hour waiting line.

below, selling-stolen-bike season continues year round. I like the way the election districts (ridings) have names, rather than numbers, although the ratio of elected officials to citizens seems rather high -- the city and each of the many boroughs (wards, arrondisements) have councils and mayors.
Election signs in the city are designed -- size, color, imagery, etc. -- for pedestrians to notice, whereas their counterparts in the States are designed for drivers. It's like comparing Christmas windows at Marshall Field's to McDonald's signs along the Interstate.
