Given that this is supposed to be a free country and all, and this is turning out to be one of the tightest races in recent history, does anyone have any information on how to wager on this damn thing? Other than driving to Vegas, that is...

Perhaps this is a bit dated (after all, it's been DAYS since America celebrated the 50th anniversary of his epic work, "Howl") but after thumbing through a well-worn copy of Ginsberg's "Selected Poems" I just had to post an all-too relevant work of his entitled "America"..I am sure those of you who came about during the 50s/beat period/60s/ will be familiar with this but I have a feeling quite a few disaffected 20-somethings out there (particuarly those who were born at the tail end of the 70s) have never actually read this poem in its entirety.

Well, maybe actually we did...after all, this was the same guy who put forth the brilliant proposition some time back about "solving" our problems in Iraq: just double the boots on the ground (m'kay, walrus)
