The most uplifting story I have seen so far on Election Day is from Wired.Com.  Headline says it all: ”

7 Technologies That Will Make It Easier for the Next President to Hunt and Kill You

Instead of “Change and Hope,” the president’s campaign slogan should be: “Duck and Cover.”

Saw a Twitter announcement – “If you run into anything that’s keeping from your right to vote, call the Election Protection Hotline: 866-687-8683.”  So should I call that number and complain about both major party candidates being full of crap and not worth voting for? (I hope that # is not a scam that automatically charges you $10 for calling).

Election Day Anticipation? Katie Kaboomski, a Toledo radio producer, posted that she felt the same anticipation yesterday that she felt on Christmas Eve as a kid – excitedly awaiting what tomorrow will deliver.

My pre-election sentiments are more akin to how a dog would feel if the dog realized that he was going to the veterinarian the next morning to get ‘fixed.’ Or maybe my gut feeling is akin to those old cartoons with someone strapped to a log that is heading into the sawmill… hearing that blade get louder and louder…

BURRITOS AS POLITICAL DESTINY? Undecided Virginia voter says: “I won’t know until I’m in the voting booth. I’m waiting for a feeling.”

If we knew what percentage of such Virginians had bacon for breakfast, maybe we could forecast the outcome.

Lucky for the world that the US is devoted to spreading democracy to foreign nations – they deserve the same blessings.

My ol’ buddy Claire Wolfe blogged yesterday with a question:  “Are you voting?”

I commented: “My therapist says that voting will help reduce my feelings of aggression towards The System.”

Claire replied: “Your therapist wants to ruin your career?”

Tom Blanton commented: “I sense that my therapist, who doubles as my cat, is trying to tell me to stay inside all day tomorrow and consume large quantities of my medication. I understand that there will large numbers of republicrats prowling around tomorrow and they are often violent and dangerous. It’s probably best if I just avoid these people altogether to prevent likely confrontations. They handle constructive criticism so poorly I’ve learned.”
