Obligatory election entry

[gordonzola]

Well, yeah. I voted too. The polling place was packed at 10:30 AM which is usually a lull time. The booths were full and everyone was sitting on the floors, standing against the walls, and writing on their friends’ backs filling out their ballots. It’s odd to me when I read about other places where people have to drive or take busses to the polls because in four different residences I’ve never had to walk more than a block and a half.

I heard a staple gun on the street early this morning. I knew it was some election related thing but it was 6 AM too early to care so I didn’t look out my window. When I made it out of the house my speed-freak, lawyer neighbor had decorated our block with neon pink signs. "GOOD RIDDANCE W AND TAKE YOUR FRIEND RALPH WITH YOU!"

I made the only logical choice for President in the great state of California: Leonard Peltier. If I have to have a President, I prefer him or her to be in jail.

My daughter is obsessed with her uterus and insisted upon voting for Kerry. I wanted to write in "yer mama". She was scandalized and snatched my ballot away from me.

I hope you don't mind if I quote this. Because, y'know, I'm gonna quote it anyway. :-)

Peltier's running for president? How very Bobby Sands. I'd have voted for him. Peltier, I mean, although I would have voted for Sands too.

I was trying to goad my friend into a fight over cobb vs. peltier, but she wouldn't engage.

Thanks. That was a much needed chuckle.
