Wanna monitor US election?

What a joke! Today's Irish Independent has an article by Tim Kingston of Global Exchange in which he's asking for international help in "rebuilding civic trust in America". He's seeking election monitors.

PUH-LEEEEEEZE!

It's not clear who pays for the monitors' trips to the US, but I suppose it can't hurt to apply (here's what you need to do to apply). I think it would be great for loads and loads of people who reject this nonsense to apply just so that Global Exchange are overwhelmed in reviewing applications. And, if you happen to get selected maybe you'll get a free trip to the US. It's a farce anyway, so I wouldn't worry about taking your "responsibilities" seriously.
