LOL Love your very cool & timely post. :hi5: No more signs leaning, falling, blowing onto streets, no more hang cards on front door, or truck windshield, & no more junk piles of glossies triple stuffed in my mailbox. Hail Mary! Although I despise all the above & negative campaign overload in the media, I did vote 2 weeks ago because my vote just might count, & I'm free to vote. :usflag:

Addendum to today's PSA:

If you don't vote, you are not allowed to bitch about what's wrong with the country for a period not less than two (2) years. Seriously: I know lots of 18 to 20 year olds who risk their lives for your freedom. The least you can do is a google search to find out about your possible choices and then frickin' pick one!

And now for some levity from Bill Mahr's New Rules:
Exit, Poll: "New Rule Stop taking stupid polls. Every little news program on every cable news network has their own dumbass online poll. And it's always some ridiculous question like, 'We want to know what you think. Is John Bolton too much of an asshole, not enough of an asshole, or just the right amount of asshole?' This is America. Knowing nothing and choosing one of two options isn't a poll, it's an election."

(This message paid for by nobody: my campaign blew all our funds trying to determine what the coolest thing in the world is. It turns out, it's still sliced bread.)

ARRRRRRGH! All I want to do today is, by the end of the day, know who won. CNN is ALREADY falling back on the big cop-out of "We might not know in a lot of races until the end of NEXT WEEK when they count all the absentee ballots." (I did vote by absentee ballot, myself, and I want that vote to be counted, but I'm sure my vote will be represented in exit polls [within the margin of error]...come on just start telling me who the winners are! I want the healing to begin tomorrow! [And I want the gloating to begin today!]) :twisted:

I'm just glad this shit is almost over. Politics has GOT to be biggest farce ever. How many many jobs can you get by talking trash about your fellow man? :eek:

I vote absentee, and you'd think those ballots would be counted first, not, apparently, last. And why does it take so long? Is it that hard to find people who know how to count without taking off their shoes and socks? :D: I mean, it's not rocket science, just go one, two, three, four, etc.. I think the best thing would be to count the votes as they come in. It would speed things up. But now I don't have to sit there watching T.V. and get my intelligence insulted by the conflicting ads, throw out a ton of campaign stuff from my mailbox (kill a tree, gain a vote?), and most of all, I don't have to answer the phone and find out it's somebody, man or machine, who tries to get me to vote. Hey, turkey-raper, I voted absentee, you can stop calling now! It's bad enough we get a boatload of misdirected calls because we just moved last week and changed our phone number. Right now I'm housesitting, and they're nice enough to let me use a computer for communication purposes.
