Is it bad luck to feature this comic book cover of The Scottish Play on the day of the independence referendum?
Oops, perhaps we cats just tipped our paw on how we hope the vote comes out. Well, it's true: We agree with Paul Krugman that splitting from Britain would be a recipe for economic disaster. We also think that the UK's "No" campaign got caught with its pants down the same way the "Non" partisans in Quebec did in 1995. But then, we've said that before.
And while English, Irish and Welsh folks didn't descend on Edinburgh the way Canadians did on Montreal in show of amour, Gordon Brown did give a barn-burner of a speech. (Finally!)
So, now we can only sit and await the results. We think it'll be a long night, because 80 to 90 percent of Scots are expected to have voted today. How embarrassing for the other so-called participatory democracies of the world! Wouldn't it be great to have that kind of turnout in American elections? Of course, Republicans would have to let people who don't like them vote. We cats HISS.
