My ballot arrived today, which means it's now possible for me to cast my vote (on everything-the presidential race is unlikely to be either as affected by or as affecting to me as the other races and issues; we just seem to be having a nationwide, media-fueled cultural seizure over it) and consider my civic duty done.

I am so sick of the government thinking that they can empathize or sympathize with the american people. I am also done listening to the left wing media back Obama and dis Palin...

BTW, Chuck and I finished our ballots today.

do it! i don't have a laminator so i'll have to put mine in an old flippy-type wallet.

then, at just the right moment i'll flip-flash it like i'm an FBI agent.

How is righteous indignation about rigteous indignation any different? Is there only one kind that is more suitable?

Mine has an "h" and I wear an ironic trucker hat.

Hate to tell ya, but I'm 7,000 miles away and it's still everywhere. But I can go into a really loud pachinko parlor and let the noise take me away... :)
