Get your ass out there and Vote!

I'm back to work after a surprisingly easy trip to the polls. I highly recommend lunchtime voting to those who can do it.

My vote for Governor of the fine state of Alabama went to Libertarian write-in candidate Loretta Nall - the only candidate who didn't interrupt any television programs to tell me why not to vote for her opponents!

Beyond that, it gets difficult. The bums who most deserve to be thrown out, Spencer Bachus and Hank Erwin, have no opponents. I'm certainly not voting for them, and there's not much point writing in my own name, so I abstained from their races. Next, I eliminated all the Roy Moore disciples, Religious Reich crusaders, and people whose ads said their opponent was "too liberal", and there was pretty much nothing left on the ballot but blank spots and Democrats (the cynical among us might ask if there is a difference). So, I voted probably the most partisan ballot I've ever cast.
