VOTE, YOU WHINING BUNCH OF NANCIES!
Ah… gray, stormy sky. Kinda cool out, if not a little ominous. Must be Election Day.
I made a down payment on my old-man membership and voted first thing this morning before work. I was rather encouraged: around 7:45 there were about 14 booths at my polling station, and I had to wait for one to open up. There were about 4 or 5 people behind me in line, too, so just a head’s up if you’re voting today – you might have to wait.
Just to get you warmed up into the grandest of political junkie holidays, here are few links.
You know things are getting heavy and heated, when you hear hecklers at a rally, and who better to heckle than George “I was a teenaged KKK wizard” Allen. I heard this last night on NPR and was laughing my balls off in traffic. Listen in the background around the 1:40 mark.
If you haven’t voted yet, Creative Loafing and the St. Petersburg Times offer some pretty good crib notes on who you’re voting for. Not saying vote for who they tell you to vote, but it’s a good read. ESPECIALLY on those goddamn sneaky Amendments. For the Times article, scroll to the bottom.
For a completely unbiased (if a little confusing) view of all things Florida politics, check out VoteSmartFlorida.org.
And a little Simpsons for dessert. This includes a line that was edited from the Nov. 5 airing. I wish I’d watched the whole episode. Looks like it was a good one. But even if you didn’t, there’s enough here to see what they aired.
BTW – special thanks to everyone at who provided the CL, Times, and VoteSmartFlorida links.
