Elwood: What kind of music do you usually have here?
Claire: Oh, we got both kinds. We got Country and Western.

When I look at the Wiki entry for Voting Systems I feel like we Americans must be the least creative among world democracies. I was talking up the Australian voting system to someone yesterday, though I admit I barely knew much at all.; Monday, August 13, 2007 5:36:00 pm
