Did you do your good deed today?
 

One of my neighbors doesn't have a car. We offered her a ride to the polling place...after we'd ascertained that she intended to vote for Obama.

Of course, I live in an area just filled with "Nobama" and "Another Democrat for McCain" signs, but that's not the point here.


And now, an Election Day prayer/eulogy/whatever.

A letter come blowin' in on an ill wind
Somethin' 'bout me and you
Never seein' one another again
Yeah, well I knew it'd come
Still I was struck deaf and dumb
Like when we kissed, that taste of blood on your tongue

Don't worry Darlin', now baby don't you fret
We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet
Don't worry Darlin', now baby don't you fret
We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet

Woke up Election Day, skies gunpowder and shades of gray
Beneath a dirty sun, I whistled my time away
Then just about sundown
You come walkin' through town
Your boot heels clickin'
Like the barrel of a pistol spinnin' 'round

Don't worry Darlin', now baby don't you fret
We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet
Don't worry Darlin', now baby don't you fret
We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet

The earth it gave away, the sea rose toward the sun
I opened up my heart to you it got all damaged and undone
My ship Liberty sailed away on a bloody red horizon
The groundskeeper opened the gates and let the wild dogs run

I'm rollin' through town, a lost cowboy at sundown
Got my monkey on a leash, got my ear tuned to the ground
My faith's been torn asunder, tell me is that rollin' thunder
Or just the sinkin' sound of somethin' righteous goin' under?

Don't worry Darlin', now baby don't you fret
We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet
Don't worry Darlin', now baby don't you fret
We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet
Don't worry Darlin', now baby don't you fret
We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet

- Bruce Springsteen, Livin' In The Future

Voted earlier today. I celebrated by smoking a crack pipe and robbing a liquor store afterwards.

I feel good about myself.

So who's gonna be the new leader of the free world?

Predictions please...

Hu Jintao

Oh wait, you said "free"...

My 18th birthday is 4 days after teh election. I call bull****, birthmom.

I can't believe voting isn't compulsory in the US. Is it compulsory in the UK?

No. I have never voted in my life either.

Over here you get fined if you don't vote.

DEMOCRATIC FREEDOM OR WHAT!

I used to vote Labour, until they changed their name to New Labour and turned into a sneaky New Conservative.

I grew up under Thatcherism, which was similar to Nazism...only worse!
My parents were both working class. No carpets, no money and no prospects.
When Labour finally got in, I thought... GREAT, at last a government with an interest in the working man!
How wrong I was.


Now I don't vote.

Just wondering... would you have seriously left her if she wasn't Probama (haha I can do it too!)?
