The following story was sent in from a former student of mine, Caitlin Adams.
Tonight my roommate and I went across the street to a pizzeria...we are about get on an all night bus to Munich for Oktoberfest, so I am in sweats and a "barack the vote" t-shirt. The owner of the pizzeria came up to us as we were waiting for our food..he shook my hand and said "yes you can!"
He then told us that the reason that so many Italians don't like Americans is because "Bush is the baddest president the United States of the America has ever seen." He also said, "Old man mccain is just like bush and the Italians know it so he hopes the Americans too."
He then had his pizza makers start chanting "yes you can" while throwing dough in the air..and wouldn't let the other American couple stopping by for dinner order until they swore they were voting for Obama.
I wish the whole world could vote in this election. Interesting night, right?
I have my first Democrats Abroad meeting on Wednesday. I'll let you know how it goes.
Take care...and let's hope the US votes the Italian way..."yes you can!"

Dan's Top Diatribes
1. "Lincoln" Dan sounds off on how the 21st Century Republican Party is no longer the party of Lincoln. To avoid further casual, conservative revisionism, he poses a unique contest of vigilance: winner gets to select something for him to break.
2. "Superman" Using his favorite superheroes in an analogy, Dan makes the argument as to why no Republican should win in November.
3. "Old Argument Odd Package" Dan breaks down John McCain's acceptance speech.
4. “Russian Chess Masters" Dan offers a unique theory as to why Russia may have invaded Georgia.
5. “Can Rock and Roll Save the World? Let's see...” This one isn’t a rant. It’s a plan.
