Political Song Lyric of the Day:
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies / This is the dawning of the rest of our lives / On holiday
Green Day / “Holiday”
9:19AM.
Rich and I voted in the primary election on our way in to work this morning. I was particularly happy to do it; I’m cautiously optimistic about the turnout, despite what happened last time I got my hopes up.
As excited as I was to vote, I got a bit depressed when I asked one of the polling volunteers what kind of turnout they expected and he said only 50 percent. How sad is that? People in other countries are literally dying to vote (just look at Iraq this past year), and yet here in the grand old US of A most of us can’t be bothered to take a little time out of our day to do it (I was in and out in 15 minutes). It wouldn’t bother me so much if I didn’t know that the people who will bitch the loudest about the election results will likely be the ones who didn’t bother to vote anyway.
Here’s to the right to vote.
8:48PM.
Still waiting for election results. It’s going to be a long night.
You forgot to say, ” I approved this message”…..hope things are well with you guys….I didn’t get to see you before the move, but I’ll be in town on monday the 13th all day if you guys want to do something….love ya
hahaha…i love that bush graphic – too funny. Christian and i voted early this morning – easy stuff. I agree. I don’t like to hear that people aren’t voting. We are still waiting on the Va race and it midnight. It’s tight (as so many of them were) by 1%.
