The Day of Elections
Though I didn't vote in the U.S. mid-term elections, I was glad to hear that Michigan Governor Granholm was re-elected, and so was Senator Stabenow. Democrats also fared well in Wisconsin. Good old liberal-conservative northern Midwest. Sorry if it seems that I've been posting too much about elections recently. But in case those election choices weren't enough and you need to vote for change (in Czech, you can use the same verb for "to vote" and "to choose"), then choose to listen to the new podcast at Nerd's Eye View! I'm there courtesy of a few less boring people. ;-) Enjoy!

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.

But in a major setback, "Proposal 2" was passed in Michigan. This marks the possible end of many scholarships and programs (like the Sphinx competition) for women and minorities. Sigh.

Yea, bummer on Prop 2, but on the same day, we got our first female speaker of the house! At least we've got that to look forward to.
I agree on the thumbs up for Granholm and Stabenow.
