For those in the US, don't forget....today is the day you get to exercise your constitutional right to VOTE!
So..make a date with the ballot box! No excuses, folks.

Today is one of my days off, so I had plenty of time to go vote. I voted at 11:00 am with all the old people and people with disabilities. Then it dawned on me that the general population under 65 yrs old are all working at this time of day!
I was not excited about voting. The main candidates have been running smear campaignes against eachother on TV. Plus they leave these long annoying recorded messages on my answering machine. Don't get me started on the wasteful mailings they send out! OMG! I could fill a trash barrel with all the mailings I've rec'd so far.
Then yesterday a radio DJ gave me hope. He had the same complaints I did. But then he said that he was excited about voting because he had a new idea! He said that
we should all vote for the people on the ballot that we don't know! We should vote for the people who haven't annoyed us!! We already know that the people up for re-election are bums who lie cheat and steal. So let's just keep voting in new people everytime. First of all, they may do a better job. Secondly, if they all knew they will not get re-elected then they can't get rich and fat on corporate donations. You know they will always vote themselves raises. They will never vote to eliminate donations from big business.
So until we take away the reason they want to be in power , ie: Greed, then we will always be stuck with these turkeys. Elections are in November for a reason. It is near Thanksgiving! And the Turkeys get the axe this month!
So go vote for the unknown candidate! They can't be any worse than the guy/gal in there now! And they might just be better!
