Next Please,

So I am assuming everyone voted yesterday, otherwise you must hate freedom. I went to the polls at 6:30, hoping to get there early before they open vote right when they open and get to work. At 6:30 there was a line that would have probably been 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours long, so I said screw it. I got out of work as soon as I could and went right to the poll. This time there was literally 1 person there, and it was a more "prime time," it was 4:30. I think everyone rushed out and went right in the morning because they heard lines were going to be so long, and in fact they weren't. I received number 843 at 4:30, so I don't think they were that busy all day.



Also, did anyone watch CNN last night during their election coverage and saw that hologram shit they were using? Holy crap? I think technology is going to outpace us here any day. They were having an interactive conversation with someone who was half-way across the country but they looked like they were in the studio. I wonder when this will be available for civilian use. I could be at home, yet be at work. I could be in jail, yet be at my ex-wife's Thanksgiving dinner, the potential is unlimited.

Took me 5 minutes to vote. Yes I did, not I can. All of the networks had that crazy touch screen shit as well. When Fox News put more emphasis on touching every single demographic, I got kind of annoyed, and then more annoyed.

Why in god's name were you watching Fox News? I flipped them on for about 3 minutes Thursday night and they were all having heart attacks because Obama was President. One of them even guaranteed that within a year he would have a lower approval rating than Bush.

I was at the Irish Bar with my boss...card carrying...and he asked them to put it on. But hey, I got some free beer and food out of it. When you live in a box, every little bit helps.
