I have to admit that logansryche's doing a fine job here and may have a new calling; namely, providing 30 minute updates of world news that effect bitcoiners. There's a US presidential election currently slated for next Tuesday. I hope logansryche is able to provide the same service starting when the first polls open to the last one closes, including Obama's concession speech.
