You are missing the voting fun! Here in FL, they gave us orange juice and a cookie for voting…no wait, that was for donating blood.
My morning included making sure the voting station was still intact after the hurricanes, standing in sand (sinking in my high heels) for an hour waiting to punch my chads, and asking for a receipt and being told my “I Voted” sticker would be valid in case there is a recount.
not only does said sticker serve as your reciept, it can easily help secure the battery cover on your cell phone!
On the Colorado front, waited just under an hour to vote in Georgetown (seen Phantoms? it was filmed there) at the First Baptist Church. Gone was the inner-city centurian I remember from Denver’s Baker Elementary replaced with middle-school mountain fresh volunteers-I think they were from the youth group-with a free pass to get out of school…handing out yellow sheets, but no damn oj and cookies! I demand a junkfood raincheck!
A noticeable blur came from studying the pre-ballot, so I scanned the mountain range thru a window, counting the minutes ’till I get to board too! Happy voting, folks!
Looks like bedtime for democracy. I still don’t get it. Do you know why they call it the heartland? Because the brain isn’t there. My only hope is that there is a wonderful renaissance period after these new dark ages. Grant
I believe we are seeing the end of the Conservative reign. Can’t blame the liberals anymore. Now they have all the rope in the world to hang themselves.
There’s still a malaise hanging over the city like a blanket. We, the despondent, know that we tried our damndest, and it’s easy to lose sight of how outnumbered we are because we happen to live in an area where people use logic, kindness, rationality and vision to make their decisions as opposed to delusional greenlights from JC.
My feeling is that if he were here, he’d say “Uh, you’ve entirely missed the point, jackass, and even I know we evolved from monkeys. Some people obviously stopped at a certain point.” At least it’s what I would say.
The silver lining is that when the melange of feces hits the collective fan, the current administration (AKA the Reign of Stupor/Torpor/Duh) will have nobody to pin the blame on but themselves. Shouldn’t Karl Rove be in an underground laboratory somewhere, trying to electrocute Democrats into Republicans?
There are some dark days ahead, but we have all the lightbulbs and the generator.
I just got back from two wonderful weeks in New Zealand and realized that I am finally going to make the move! Yes, we will be Pacific rim partners. Hehe, I said rim…
Anyway, it’s probably going to take the better part of a year but it looks like I have a good chance of getting into the country on a skilled migrant permit. Apparently, they need journalists because it’s a future growth area. Go figure.
Gotta get the hell outta dodge. This country is going into the toilet and it makes me cry. You’re so lucky you got out before the fiasco. My friends in New Zealand told me I was fucked when they saw the way the election was going.
Hey Sid,

Woo Hoo!
Hugs! ~K

I did enjoy seeing the NBC guy who was manning the map fuck up and say “over in Fallujah County, Florida. I mean, uhh …”

We miss you, Sidney.
