Halfway down the Danube

So, I voted

I can't say I'm happy about it. The choices were really bad this time around. I don't like Schröder, I dislike Stoiber, I am really not sure about Merkel, I don't think the Greens have been doing such a swell job, and there is no way I'm voting for the FDP.

However, I did vote for one of those. (I'm not telling but people who know me will have no problems guessing.) Because I believe that one ought to vote, even if the choices are quite limited, and I don't want to throw my vote away by giving it to a party that cannot possibly make the 5% cut.

Now, all I can do is wait and see what tomorrow brings. It'll be interesting, to say the least.
