my vote is going home

FedEx has a deal for those US residents living in Seoul. They can mail in their 2008 Presidential Election absentee ballots for free with FedEx. but there are only 2 approved FedEx locations in downtown Seoul that offer this and one is on base and unavailable to me. today i went to the other one and the cute FedEx employee in his blue-purple uniform and FedEx cap said mine was the first absentee ballot that he handled. he pulled out the special handling instructions (in Korean) located right nearby and did a few verifications of the packaging slip i prepared according to special instructions i got from the US Embassy newsletter i received last month and within 2 minutes the transaction was over, i paid nothing, and my vote is now on its way home.

You're a credit to U.S. nationals living abroad! Good for you for taking the trouble to go and vote and being the first surely deserves an ice cream or something!

It's funny that you can track your vote on its journey, but I wonder why they don't use a secure electronic voting system.

This just in:

If you had purchased $1,000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have $42 left.

With Lehman, you would have $6.60 left.

With Fannie or Freddie, you would have less than $5 left.

But if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the
beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have
had $214.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and
recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg.....
