This is my result from the Political Compass test, not as left/lib as I thought, but it still pretty much explains why I wasn't crazy about either of the main candidates in the US election. Still, it seems that the US is gradually shifting to the left... or maybe "away from the right" would be more accurate. Maybe Obama seemed like the USA's only hope in these dark times (no pun intended), but I think they're just fed up with the Republicans. It could've been the last eight years which brought that about, but it could equally have been the last few months.
In other news, I went to see Tropic Thunder at the cinema recently, and it was refreshingly good. I went in expecting another mediocre Ben Stiller film, but I was pleasantly surprised. It could've been a little shorter, in my opinion, but it's generally agreed by many that I have a below average attention span.
[Insert clichéd "ooh, a butterfly" joke here.]
