			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went to a <a href="http://www.neilgaiman.com/" target="_self">Neil Gaiman</a> reading of his new book, &#8216;<a href="http://www.thegraveyardbook.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Graveyard Book</a>&#8216; on Friday, which was an excellent evening with him reading a chapter from the book and then taking questions.  It was interesting however to hear his views on the upcoming US election.</p>
<p>He was careful not to ally himself with either camp, pointing out that he doesn&#8217;t have a vote anyway (he has retained his British citizenship in case the Queen found out he&#8217;d moved..), but he did tell us all about his &#8216;man in Washington&#8217;.  Apparently he has worked quite closely with John McCain and pointed out that while he&#8217;s a nice guy he doesn&#8217;t know how to run his office and he&#8217;d be worried if he was going to run the country in the same way.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know, does the US need a big picture guy right now, or someone who is good at the details?  It sounds like John McCain certainly isn&#8217;t the latter.</p>
