or, after all the spewed vitriol, it's time to vote (or shut up)
I can't remember when I've wanted a day to come and pass as much as I want Nov 8 to get here and then get gone. After all, the longer this mess lasts the more friends I am likely to lose - or at least majorly alienate.
It's not that I try to irritate people, it's just that I can't effectively hide my shock that sentient beings I call friends (and relatives) would actually vote for a candidate with exactly zero bonafides that befit him for the office of President. I mean, forgetting his 'ideas' (which are abysmal) what is there that recommends him over, say, a department store mannequin? That dummy has the advantage over the other dummy in that it can't talk (and send terror through our allies while doing so).
I can't bear to list the Republican candidate's bad plans or the times where he or his minions have fanned the flames of hated and promoted the idea of violence against his opponent. To list them is to relive them in painful clarity.
No, all I'll do here is to urge everyone to get up off their chairs and vote this Tuesday. Don't let anything short of medical emergencies or major natural disasters (like that Great Meteor some are praying for) deter you from exercising your constitutional right (and DUTY) to cast your ballot. This holds true even if you are deeply conflicted about the choice for President and intend to write in Mickey Mouse or Tom Hanks. There are lots of other offices and initiatives that need your attention - at least go for those.
OK, that's It! Off you go - review your choices, mark your sample ballot, and plan to be at the polls in time to get 'er done on Tuesday. Good Luck to Us All ...
