The country right now just wants to be soothed
Of course I've already voted today. Why wouldn't I? The state voting laws dictate that I'm allowed to stroll into work an hour late just for performing my civic duty. I'm not giving that up to vote after work, even if they serve cocktails at my polling site, which they very well might. As one might expect, everyone in the temporary employ of the Board of Elections was a total clown, and this was compounded by the fact that we had two precincts voting at one site. Two Precincts, One Cup! Oh, that never gets old. I didn't get that little card you're supposed to get, then hand over, before you're allowed into the booth. What's the point of that card? Can someone look that up on wikipedia?
At work I got a phone call from my neighbor who was undecided on whether to vote today. I've been in a "fuck with me, you'll be famous" sort of mood, and he's a masochist. I spent five minutes upbraiding him. "Have you not been awake the past 8 years? Because if we don't get the right candidate [not like I'm confident of who that is, really, but polls seem to indicate that Independents prefer Obama and I'd sooner drink from the dick of a goat ™ than vote for Hillary Clinton, so imagine how she'll go over in Dubuque?] to oppose McCain then we'll be in for another 4 years of the same shit. But hey, then we can look forward to some more Jello Biafra spoken word records! Maybe even something from Michael Franti if we're lucky! You'll be single-handedly responsible for keeping Alternative Tentacles in business."
And LARD will almost certainly get back together.
