Your Thoughts On Election Day?

Well, I voted. Now all I can do is sit back and trust America. Which worked so well for me in 2000 and again in 2004. So I’m just trying to float through the rest of the day with a sense of humor. On that note, four-year old Truett says to get out and vote, [...]

Well, I voted. Now all I can do is sit back and trust America. Which worked so well for me in 2000 and again in 2004. So I’m just trying to float through the rest of the day with a sense of humor. On that note, four-year old Truett says to get out and vote, pointing out that you’re lucky, because “I Nevew Kin Vote Fo Fo-teen Yee-wuhs“. On the other end of the age spectrum, apparently America’s remaining dial-up Internet users have already elected McCain in a landslide. As usual, The Onion has some good stuff in their “War for the White House” section like Bush: ‘Can I Stop Being President Now?’ and commentary on long voter lines like “If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too? And by that I mean I’m not voting.” And for a sort of odd time-filler, check out the New York Times’ Election Word Train, which lets you say how you feel and watch results of others’ input as a “word crawl”. We don’t have a Word Train on Dissociated Press, but I’d love to hear your experiences or thoughts about today…

    I’m not counting on anything. I hope Obama wins, but I don’t want to get too optimistic. There is just so much racism in this country…I just don’t know.
    I’m also watching the proposals (I voted yes on all four) and the proposals in other states, many of which seek to limit birth control or abortion (saying “life” begins at the moment of conception).

    Same here, TeacherPatti. I’m taking a wait-and-see attitude and praying. And about “friending” – I log into FaceBook so rarely it’s not funny, but when I do it’ll be a “backatcha” for sure. You were just waiting ’til I confirmed my Obama-ness, weren’t you!

    Right! I never would have guessed you’d vote for Obama :) :)
    I avoided FB for months…now I kinda dig it.
