Get out and vote!

Today is Election Day in the good ol' USA and I just came back from voting. My polling place, in typical San Franciscan fashion, was the garage of some guy's house down the street. In California, we're voting on about a bazillion things, including whether or not we should push to impeach Bush and Cheney. There were 5 ballots, front and back, with large enough print for the senior citizens which forced them to be about 12 inches wide and 20 inches long, and I'm not kidding. They might as well have been stone tablets we chiseled our responses on. Not electronic, and no potential for hanging chads, this time we had to take a black felt tip pen and draw a line to connect the front and back end of an arrow together next to our choice. Once you're finished making your selections, you have to go feed these enormous pieces of cardboard one by one into a machine that then tells you whether or not it will accept your line art. By the time the old man running the machine wheels it back to the Election Board, Arnold will be back in his mansion, sleeping off the victory party. Sigh.
