Voting achieved. I don't have to get anything else done today if I've done that, right?
Since I work for the city, I get off of work today! So this is literally true for me.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

I voted last week, so no long waits at the polls for me. (Somehow my parents and I ended up with the same regular voting location despite me living downtown and them on the southwest edge of town. Which tells me that location is going to be swamped with many thousands of voters today and a parking lot that holds about 60 cars.)

I voted last Tuesday. I'd also like to have the option to opt out of political ads. Some of them have gotten very nasty in the last few days. I don't normally go "Dude, you did not say that!" to the radio.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I was in WI this weekend and the ads there were so much worse than the IL ones. Hard to fathom.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Since Cincinnati is right across the river from Kentucky, we get political ads for Kentucky, and the McConnell/Grimes race is FIERCE. I'm so glad it's over today, because I am so sick of those ads.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sigh, our pizza for the lunch meeting tomorrow has been cancelled because people didn't chip in their $5. I was counting on not having to think about that meal, dammit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wisconsin politics have gotten 100 times scarier since I left 23 years ago.

In DC we get ads from Maryland and Virginia; and I've had an unprecedented number of city campaign calls - both real people and robocalls.
On the bright side ... whatever the results of any election, if someone asks how you feel, responding "I'm just so glad it's over" is acceptable to everybody.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'd also like to have the option to opt out of political ads.
I seriously think it would be the best early turnout driver EVER if they could figure out a way to shut off all the crap once youv'e voted.

I normally like the hoopla on voting day, but I early voted because my life is difficult to predict these days.
The Senate race in Georgia is very close, and Georgia is one of the few states that requires that the winner get more than 50 percent of the vote. If it goes to a runoff, I'll have two more months of all political ads, all the time.
This is one of David Perdue's latest:
The issue is trust. Do you trust President Obama and the Washington politicians to deal with the problems we face? Too much debt. Not enough jobs. Terrorism and Ebola coming at us from overseas.
