  • via shortwave radio from BBC or Radio Sierra-Leon
  • …head to your local sports bar. They’ll very likely have the election results on, and they have a reasonable supply of alcohol as well, which will come in handy no matter who wins.

Living in Philadelphia, it is impossible to avoid the fact that the World Series is currently going on (and continuing to go painfully on, due to inclement weather in Philly last night). While my city continues to fret and suffer, waiting with bated breath for the second half of game five, the rest of the country can relax a little and enjoy a free Taco Bell Crunchy Seasoned Beef Taco today between the hours of 2 pm and 6 pm.
