My wife is in Geneva for two weeks. Today's headlines in all Swiss press . . . . .

. . . . is about yesterday's US elections. The picture of the paper she read was of a glum looking Toxic Don. The story played the election results as good news.

I've seen German news articles posted about the Virginia election in mainstream media within hours of first results coming in. The world is watching.

As a caveat, my wife and I were in the car today listening to a call-in program, and there was some elderly, obviously educated guy going on about how happy he was that Trump got in, saying it was about time someone stuck it to the CIA, that Hillary was just "establishment," blah blah, blah. My wife said, OK, now I can be ashamed of a German for once. This jerk might as well have been from the Berlin campaign office of Jill Stein, except that, unlike Jill Stein, he really seemed to believe the crap he was spouting.

On the other hand, the rest of Europe was saying, so, you haven't all gone crazy after all. That is a relief.
