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.

One More Election Rant

A few last election rants before the real deal on Tuesday:

  • Have you heard of The Bradley Effect. It is interesting, yet sad that it would occur based on race in this day and age.
  • I you missed this interview on the Daily Show with Bill Kristol (not Billy Crystal). It was great because there were two highly intelligent people discussing real topics, hilarious because Kristol still thinks McCain will win, and it was hilarious because Jon Stewart basically says Kristol is an idiot for still supporting McCain, yet Stewart and McCain still get along and are genuine to each other. It shows two people can disagree yet still get along.


  • I think this is still a cool commercial:


  • Starbucks is giving away a free cup of coffee on Tuesday for anyone who is voting. It's cool because they are not picking a side, just saying, "hey, go vote you lazy a-hole." Yes, Starbucks are run by Hippies and represent everything that is wrong in this world.


On Friday I was in an elevator and these two chicks were in it. One asked the other, "hey did you vote yet?" The other one said "I'm not going to to vote." "Why" asked the other one. "I'm proving a point." Wait? What? What point are you trying to make exactly? There are only a few reasons you wouldn't vote, and making a point that no one will see is not one of them.
  • You hate freedom
  • You have a criminal record
  • You are Canadian
  • You hate America
  • You are a terrorist
  • You are under 18


Stupid video, but Jonah Hill is hilarious. "I have 19 kids, I never used abortion once." "Darfur...that sounds like a t-shirt company to me." "I never did shit on drugs except play Halo II."Oh yeah, and Natalie Portman is hot.
(Update) I guess they have another video now:

Who's to blame?

So apparently W Bush has the lowest appproval rating of any president ever. That's just too sad. His approval rating is lower than the two Presidents impeached, the one removed from office, lower than presidents during the depression, the 2 world wars, the Vietnam War, the Korean Conflict, slavery, and all these rough times in America's young history. I would say that the American public is to blame, but W did not even get the majority vote in either election, he just had the electoral votes. I blame the constitutional congress. (And the idiotic residents of Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004).

The perfect candidate?

I finally have a candidate I can back in this election and fell confident in voting for. Ralph Nader has entered the race once again. Nothing like a whack-job wasting his time and money and the American public's time and money to try to prove a point that no one will notice. I understand what point he is trying to make, but lets be honest, no one will notice or care. Stay at home Mr. Nader and just keep writing your anti-establishment letters, articles, and blogs. Leave the running of this country to the adults.

Let's just hope this pot-smoking, idiot, hippy doesn't screw up the whole election like he did 8 years ago. And guess what, I guarantee he does.
