Please, Worried Americans, Try to Relax!

Many Americans are worried, nervous and flustered over the presidential elections in Mexico, spurring much discussion over the family dinner table and around the water cooler at work. This sort of nervous and anxious buzz hasn't been felt here in the United States since Taylor Hicks pulled off a dramatic upset win over Katherine McPhee in American Idol!

Will the winner be Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the fiery leftist and champion of the poor? Or will it be Felipe Calderon, the pro-business-conservative and choice of the current president Vicente Fox?

I know, I know: You can't wait to find out. Well, here's my advice to all "mis amigos" out there reading this. Take a day off from the worry!
Light a candle. Draw a bubble bath. Relax and remember: This is a big day for all 'Mericans, so please enjoy it.
