I am a 33 year old woman living in Melbourne, Australia, with a bizzare fascination with US politics. I am here to observe, make uneducated comments and (hopefully) learn.

The state of the US (politics, ecomony) greatly affects my country, and I find your politics far more interesting than Australia's, although I am more than pleased at our recent change of government here.

I look forward to learning more, and will fumble my way around the site like the computer-illiterate person that I am.
