Today’s the day!  Vote, suckahs!

Remember when Dictator George W. usurped power a couple years ago?  
Shit has really hit the fan since then, eh?  After countless voting 
recounts in Florida, they say it all came down to just a couple of votes.  It 
is also projected that there will be a low voter turnout today, as well 
– call it what you will, reverse psychology, direct mental 
manipulation, a kick in the ass to get out there and do your job – point is, the 
less votes out there, the more your vote matters.  And you (at least in 
my hood) can vote tonight until 8pm, so no excuses if you didn't get a 
chance to get out there and do it this morning! (you can double check 
voting times on one of the links I've included)

The choices for Governor (Lord of the land…) are pretty ridiculous, so 
I’m not sure what to tell you there, however – there ARE many local 
issues on the ballot that WILL affect your life directly that I’m sure 
you’d love to have a say on.  The only way to do that is to get out there 
and vote…
