Election Day

Another reason to like where I live: our polling place is a small church at the end of our street.  No lines, no pollsters, no one handing out fliers or picketing with idiotic and oversimplified political platitudes.

I walked in, signed my name, punched my card, and walked out.

For the first time in my life I voted a (mostly) straight democratic ticket.  (Yes, Obama was in there, if you're interested.) The republicans had their chance and they fucked it up, and now I'm ready for a growing economy and a secular government.  If I want a theocracy, I'll go to Afghanistan: it seems to work for them.
