Japanese Election Coverage: Right here, LIVE! all night (possibly)

Just what exactly is Our Man going to do for you fine people gagging for up-to-the-second updates on the Japanese election (on Sunday, remember?)

True to form, he's only just started thinking about it, but here are some possibilities:

1. Set the Sumometer on autopilot and take the night off.
2. Re-direct all readers to TransPacific Radio for their all-night podcast streaming video thing and take the night off.
3. Just take the night off, go to bed early and read about the election in the afternoon papers like any sane person.
4. Tweet throughout the night with updates as the LDP bigwigs fall by the wayside.

Well, Our Man can't find the sumometer, thinks streaming video is probably illegal in 48 states, and is allergic to going to bed early, so it looks like it will be option 4 folks, though Our Man reserves the right to take the night off at any time.

The fun will start after Our Man gets the kids to bed, about 9pm Abiko Standard Time (1pm London, 8am NY) , or shortly thereafter.

BTW, talk about political commercials most likely to end your campaign, this takes the biscuit (secret handshake to TransPacific Radio):



Moral of the story? Always carry cash.

Our Man would vote for him, but then he has a history of voting Labour, Liberal Democrat (UK), Democrat (USA) and Republican (Arkansas), so he has a chequered record, though he has never paid for it in his life. And certainly not by cheque.
