Oh crap, I hope you're farther off the mark with this comment than I fear you might be. Monday is election day in the Philippines. They aren't exactly famous for clean elections there. I'm hoping things stay calm.

151 dead so far in election related violence.
4 police officers are accused fire-bombing a counting station that resulted in 2 deaths.
A congressman is accused of hiring a gunmen to kill a mayoral candidate.
In one province, the pro-administration party won all 12 seats, despite every pre-election poll showing the opposition party in the lead.
International elections observers said the elections were worse than the Afghanistan elections.
And, to put it all in perspective, the Philippine stock market hit a record high, sparked by the "relatively calm elections".

Ugh, two nights in a row I've gotten to sleep at roughly 6am. I'm actually a little tired right now, maybe I'll be asleep by 3:30. Being at the autocross at 7:30 AM Sunday is gonna suck.
