Vote or die?? Hmm. You're going to have to give me a minute to think about it....

I would like to know WHO, exactly, is the ass clown who decided that kids shouldn't go to school on election days. Don't get me wrong -- I relish the opportunity to stand in line for hours while my three little kids run around the place, banging pots and pans over their heads while screaming, "OKLAHOMA! OKLAHOMA!" as much as the next girl. Yep, this is going to be super awesome.

The only thing that could make it worse is if they found a way to make me bring the dog.

I just hope that I don't have to wait between any rabid voters. These people drive me bat shit crazy. You know who I'm talking about. They believe SO deeply in their guy that he becomes a Messiah to them which, of course, makes the other guy the Antichrist. These are the people who are incapable of debating any real issue. They just begin foaming at the mouth and talking louder and louder until spittle comes springing out of their mouths. You know that they are approaching something that resembles a conclusion when you see the veins bulging in their neck.

The silver lining, however, is that at least the political mail and phone calls will stop soon. And I get to spend some quality time with my kids in a really, really long line, trying to explain to them why I am voting for someone when, in the end, the only thing that really matters is how our delegates vote.

Seriously?! No school on Election Day? Is it a school holiday or a state thing?

We voted early. I wanted to do it 'officially' on Tuesday, but it's impossible to corral my kids while I have my head stuck in a voting booth.

Really? We never got election day off school. And schools are open tomorrow too. Maybe it's because the Polls are open until 9pm here so there is no need to let teachers out of school to vote? When I lived in Ohio the polls closed earlier I think. (I live in NY now) Oh and in Kentucky they can't sell alcohol on election day - I guess they don't want rampaging drunk rednecks at the polls?

FADKOG and Tricia - Now I'm just pissed off! When I was a kid my school was a polling place so we just didn't go to the library that day. I guess it's just another part of the state of Georgia's "charm".

No booze on election day?! Now THAT'S funny! At least we can buy hooch.... They should make that our state motto: Georgia - At Least We Let Our People Buy Booze On Election Day.

Methinks someone has been watching Eliz Hasselbeck on The View.

David - That's funny! But, to be fair and balanced, I think we could safely say that Rosie O'Donnell does it, too.

Speaking of those two, if they got into a fight, who do you think would win? Now wait a minute and think about it...your knee jerk reaction is that Rosie would just sit on her and that'd be the end of it, right?

Well...Elizabeth looks like a biter to me. And a scratcher/slapper. I'll bet she could be a real hell cat. I guess it's a toss up....

That's weird. We have school tomorrow, too. Now, there is talk of people not coming to school Wed., because people seem to think there will be riots over Obama, whether he wins or loses.

One of my earliest memories is of going with my mom when she voted for Ford in '76. I think that's one of the reasons I've always been such a rabid voter.
Bex said…
KC - I always vote, too.

You know, rioters and looters suck. A Hurricane demolished your city? Somebody had his civil rights trampled? OJ was acquitted of something that is widely accepted he was guilty of?

It doesn't matter. It's like college boys who like to go streaking. They FIND the reason to do it. Because they can. But at least streakers are sort of entertaining (albeit in a National Geographic kind of way). Rioters and looters just like causing damage and stealing stuff.

And I'm officially starting to get pissed off that we don't have school tomorrow.

Someone needs a slap to the head for that decision.

Eat lots of garlic tonight. That will keep the rabid ones at arm's length.

Don't fool yourself Bex..

The calls and such will still continue, but now you'll know it's just pranksters, and can hang up on them!

I kind of miss the weirdness once elections are over..

I mean, then you can't laugh at the uninformed that try to convince you about how you should think/feel/act/live/vote.

You also don't get as much brainwashing from the media.

And, you start to loose all of the nifty signs in your yard.

I mean, for me the most amazing thing about this election was seeing just how many Obama and McCain signs I could collect by just taking the ones out of my yard every time I found one..

(To answer the unspoken question, Obama won that one, 22 to 10)

Happy days!

The Dunkin Donuts Dilemna

I am always amazed when I leave my home in the early hours of the morning and there are people out and about. I can barely see the runners (as the sun isn't yet passed the horizon) but they are hoofing it up the hill. Don't these people know that they should be home - in bed - snuggled up???! So you can imagine my surprise when, at 6AM, I saw the impressive line at my local Dunkin Donuts. But we were heading out of town on a road trip with 3 little kids (all under 8) and a 2 month old puppy. I know what you are thinking...WHY??! We very anxiously wanted to travel for a little bit of more pain - AKA my 20th High School reunion. Maybe more on that later... As if this all weren't bad enough, my husband and I had been to a party the night before and I had just the slightest headache. So I needed coffee and like all reasonable people I went to the Dunkin Donuts because their coffee is THE BEST coffee anywhere! Starbucks can kiss my lilly white! But I digress... So I get in the l...

A Housewife's Dirty Confession...

I have Vaseline underneath my right index finger nail. No amount of soap and water seems to vanquish it. Sshhhhh. Don't tell anyone, K? Because that could lead to awkward questions. But I'll tell you what - today, just for shits and giggles, let's skip the questions completely and just go to the answers. And, GO. Projectile vomiting. One massive pile in the doctor's waiting room. Once in the car. Twice at home. Yes, that IS a lot of puke for a two year old. Anal suppositories. TWICE. No I am not honoring my pledge to lay off of the cosmo's for a while and fuck you for bringing that up after the day I've had. Did this make you smile? Or were you just envious that you didn't get to spend the morning pinning down a pissed off and puking two year old long enough to further enrage him by shoving a suppository up his ass? (thought so) Either way, feel free to click my HB smiley below. And, as always, if you're shopping around for funny blogs this is the pl...

Light a match!

You know, people are getting so touchy these days. I just read this news story about a THIRTEEN year old kid who got arrested. When I saw the headline I thought, "Man, this country is going to hell in a hand basket. What did this criminal mastermind DO, anyway?? Did he steal a car? Get his moms attention by throwing a cleaver at her head? Sexually assault his little sibling??" Noooo.... No, this kid farted in school. And then got arrested. Apparently I went to school with a bunch of felons and didn't even know it. Besides, have you seen what they feed these kids in school lunchrooms?? And "The Man" is going to blame intestinal distress on HIM??! Let's file this under "Give Me A Fucking Break, Please." The teacher said that he was purposefully farting and therefore disrupting the class. Plus? This little fucker turned off a few computers that his friends were working on. I think it would be far more incredible if you could find me a 13 year old who...
