Today it's election to parliament here in Sweden and I'm following the election in front of the TV with an election-pizza. I voted for the Green Party, Miljöpartiet. The Green Party is in a political alliance together with two other socialist parties and I hope (cross my finger) that they'll win over the conservative parties.
‘The Political Reporter’ is a new media installation by Boone, NC-based artist Mark Nystrom that generates random, but intriguing statements with words found on political websites and in the media. Sources include the Obama and Romney presidential campaigns, the Democratic and Republican parties, bloggers and the news media.
‘The Political Reporter’ animates a cloud of letters and periodically makes statements. These images are screen grabs taken while ‘The Political Reporter’ was running on Election Day and the day after.
Letters from words gathered from conservative sources are colored red and ones from liberal sources are blue. ‘The Political Reporter’s’ vocabulary includes over 70,000 words, but only 300 appear on the screen at any given time. As words are used to make statements, they are replaced by randomly chosen new ones from the list of 70,000.

me & peggy's ducks
When I woke up today I felt as though it were Christmas morning! I was looking forward to voting all day. I arrived at Mr.Kitty's house and was informed he had voted earlier so it would just be Carol and me. Look at what a nice view when leaving our polling place too. Had to pose with Peggy's ducks, all decked out for the occasion. When we arrived back at Mr. Kitty's house we were greeted by a very exhuberant Jade, shown with Mom in the background. I'm so excited about the results of today's historic election I can barely contain myself! Peace.
