Electing to Leave

Adam just sent me this from Harper's. For the second election running, I'll be in Vietnam during the inauguration. We'll see where I end up in 2009.

In response, I sent him this:
Hope you guys make it overseas.

Physically, I can’t get any farther or else I’d be coming back.
Ethnically, Vietnam does not recognize my American citizenship because I was born in Saigon to Vietnamese natives.
Politically, Vietnam is as polar opposite as you can get from the Bush Administration.

My absentee vote was (or was not) counted in Virginia. I tried.

Come to Vietnam!

Buddha help us.
