Apolitical Blog Gets Enthusiastic about the Election

You know, I've been so busy lately what with waxing the scales on Gerard, my iguana, every day. And then there's all the elephant dung in the backyard that needs curing, packaging, and shipping to Venezuela.

When this year's General Election materials came in, I figured since there way no way I was going to get down to the polls, I would Vote By Mail. And who has time to read all that sample ballot crap?

In the interest of saving valuable time, I voted YES on everything. Including the President. I don't know about you, but I believe we should have one.

I was raised to consider voting a very personal issue, so I know I shouldn't be blabbing about my personal political opinions, but I feel that voting is so important. It's our right as American citizens and every vote counts, so I thought I'd share my positions with you to demonstrate that I've exercised those rights.

When I saw all the names and propositions and measures, I got so excited, I wanted to shout YES, YES a thousand times YES! But there were only a couple dozen items to vote for, so I made a bunch of copies until I had a thousand YESs and slapped a good ol' US of A postage stamp on each one and mailed those babies.

And man, it warmed my heart to participate in democracy. As I walked down my little version of Main Street, USA to the corner mailbox, I took stock of my life and realized what it meant to be an American.

Shoving the last ballot down the blue gullet of the United States Postal Service, I vowed that I would never forget that I lived in a country where my voice could be heard with a thousand checkmarks. What other country allows that kind of freedom?

So remember kids: vote early, vote often, and God Bless America.
