As you might have heard (or maybe you live in a cave, though there’s nothing wrong with that—we here at Provokator respect people of all dwelling choices, though the CIA is probably still after you. Look behind you. Now!) February 5th, 2008 will be a decisive day for America’s future.

“Super Tuesday” is when a big chunk (24 out of 50) of American states cast votes in their primaries or caucuses, some Demobrat, some Republican’ts, some both. These primaries and caucuses send delegates who will then vote for the Republican’t and Demobrat presidential candidates.  While “Super Tuesdays” have been a tradition since the 80’s, this “Super Tuesday” is markedly more “Super” than any “Super Tuesday” before: in 2004, the “Super-ness” was split between two “Super Tuesdays,” one in February and one in March. Tomorrow is so “Super” that it’s creatively being called “Super-Duper Tuesday” or, cleverly using alliteration, “Tsunami Tuesday.”

So, how can you participate in this “Super-ness”? Well, unless you can vote in the primaries (which is possible if you’ve already pre-registered to at the American embassy, and impossible if you haven’t, aren’t American, or a particularly precocious twelve-year-old you can’t directly) you can at least have a rockin’ time! Provokator cordially invites you to an evening of “Super-ness,” “Super-Duper-ness,” and possibly even “Stupid-ness.” Bring yourself, your booze, and 50 CZK to Rokyčanova 27 (buzzer with American names) and watch the games begin on CNN, everyone’s favourite broadcast Ringmaster. Unosuke Badimov (he's Canadian, actually) will be the Master of Ceremonies and will carefully explain everything about American politics to you in his characteristically patient yet entertaining manner.
