• GET OUT..........

  ...............and vote! Just in case you have been living in a mine in Chile for the past three  months, let me remind you that tomorrow is Election Day. I'm sure most of you who read this (meaning both of you) already know that I'm a die hard, flaming liberal. And while I think most of the people who will come across this post will probably be liberal as well, this isn't about liberal or conservative or Democrat or Republican. It is about getting out and exercising your right and in my opinion, duty, to vote.

  I think a lot of people take voting for granted, but let us not forget that this is not a right that we have always had. Keep in mind that there was a time in this country not so long ago when females could not vote. Of course, blacks have not always had the right to vote either. I believe I read somewhere that there was a time in America that only rich, white, males had the right to vote. But, now suffrage has been opened up for everybody. Did I  use that word right, suffrage? Look at me, I can attempt to sound educated! Anyway, I digress. Everybody has the right to vote, unless you are a convicted felon, which might not be a bad thing since most jailed felons are busy being imprisoned.

  I know a lot of people are frustrated with politics and are rightfully very apathetic to politics and elections. I too share an extreme frustration with politics. But you know what, it is just too important to turn my back on. As citizens we are in charge of putting the people in place to help fuck up our country and that is a duty we should take seriously! If you are going to vote you should at least be somewhat educated on your choices and while that might take some time to learn about the candidates and offices , I would strongly encourage you to learn as much info as you can. Be care where you get your info though because there is a lot of complete bullshit on the internet, one site that is good is http://realclearpolitics.com/ which does give you a lot of info, but in my opinion is it non partisan.

  Now reading all this politics bullshit can be very boring. This is why I recommend the internet, that way right after reading you can go straight to the porn as a reward for suffering through the mind numbing drabble that is politics. Hell some people might even be turned on by politics, after all there are a lot sexual scandals that people try to cover up.

  Regardless of who you vote for, the important part is that you get out and vote and make a difference. And who knows, maybe you can have an October surprise right there in the voting booth with the hot election judge! Okay, just kidding, its November and therefore it would be a November surprise. And election judges are never hot, but hey, sex in a voting booth is still sex!
