The first round of Colombian presidential elections were held yesterday. The two worst candidates emerged out of the pool of 5: an inexperienced right-wing puppet of Alvaro Uribe, and a socialist who used to be a member of the M16 guerrilla and has a history of failures and scandals. I know who I'm voting for come June 17, but I am not happy about it.
People in the US like to bitch about our "first past the post" election system, but people elsewhere in the world seem just as irritated by runoff options.

Yeah, my dad, two youngest siblings, aunts and uncles, and about twenty cousins. I haven't lived in Colombia in a long time but I still feel very much a part of it

They're doing well and they like living there. It's not like the country is falling apart -- Colombia is one of the most economically prosperous countries in Latin America. It's not Venezuela. But it just sucks that these are the two choices that we're left with to lead the nation. Petro, in particular, would be TERRIBLE for the country.
I watched the premiere of her new show and it was just ridiculous. Jackie was made out to be a total nutty liberal and she wore a t-shirt that said "nasty woman". Becky was like a creepy stepford wife type. There was a black grandchild. I knew it was only a matter of time...either people would come to their senses and stop watching, or Roseanne would say or do something to get it cancelled. Looks like both happened.
