World is watching, part 2. -- Le Monde (France) headline -- Massive Participation Announced in United States. Again, above the "fold"
Spike's Bitches 43: Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
that is a great story, P-C.
We've only had 20 guests so far today but I swear I've counted 10 "I Voted" stickers. I hope there's some left when I get to my polling place. They ran out last time.
I never seem to get a sticker, since I usually vote on my way home from work (I am NOT a morning person; deciding on what size coffee to get is about as big a decision as I can reliably make), but it's never bothered me much. But I'm just so happy to see people getting involved, getting excited about this election - for so long it's been choosing the lesser of two evils or between someone who's OK and someone who's actively bad. I can remember when people thought elections mattered, when we felt that voting would actually accomplish something. And, just for amusement's sake, a friend of mine, currently unemployed after getting her MPA from the Kennedy School, is working on the Obama campaign ... they sent her out of town and she had trouble finding time to actually go vote herself.

Some people believe the same holds for this election.
Otherwise the wrong lizard might get in.
Another heartwarming story--
Keep it up and I'm going to be weeping at my desk! Seriously, I cried the last 2 elections and it looks like I will this time too, but for such a different reason.
Alrighty, my Dark Roasted Coffee of Freedom and I am off to defend the Democratic process from robocalls, purged rolls, delayed mail, and confusing street signs.
Wish us luck. And call us at 1-866-OUR-VOTE if anyone tries to fuck with you.

I managed to get lost trying to find my polling place, but I didn't give up, and I did eventually find it. So, I have voted! But I didn't manage to get the inspection done.
I am voted!! My god, I think this might actually work; before I voted, I got into see my doctor BY CALLING AND GETTING AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN HOUR AFTER I CALLED.
That is some freaky shit. And I wasn't all "ARGH! Blood..orifices...death...!" It was "Gee, I would like to come in ASAP to get my AD refilled."
Keep the heartwarming stories coming. I am SMILING today, and HAPPY and full of HOPE and GOODWILL and othe scary shit.
It's made of awesome! (Even though I live in the swingiest state of all.)

saved to my phone, thanks!
