Don't Vote

Really, don't.

Who's the woman in the plaid shirt anyway? She's funny. Okay already, I get it! Sarah Silverman! Am I the only one who reads others' comments before posting my own? *Sheesh* :-P

That's Sarah Silverman. She's funny, but also gets a lot of flack for making offensive jokes.

I see Sarah Silverman, and I really want to like her shtick...but then it just gets gross and unfunny. :(

She definitely crosses the line for me too. I've learned to enjoy her in small doses, turn off the TV in disgust, and come back later when I'm in the mood for the funny bits again. Lather, rise, repeat.

That is Sarah Silverman.

Oh, and it's too late, I already voted.

Lines around the corner at early voting in Atlanta. Just like yesterday. And every day since the 22nd, they the people running the polling station say.

This is in Atlanta, where we have no gasoline.

In a Democratic county, where the Democratic Presidential candidate has given up campaigning.

Thirty or forty voting machines. Lines around the corner. 8am to 7pm.

And there is a month to go.

I registered in high school.

Not, like, "between September 1992 and June 1996," I mean my history class stopped so we could all fill out the forms (if you were at Stuy in the mid-'90s, it was Scandura, who'd actually managed to make it in that day).

I was only 17 (and learned the truth).

Nope, Hunter. ;)

I registered as soon's I turned 18, and voted for the first Clinton by absentee ballot my freshman year of college.

Sarah Silverman...google "I'm Fucking Matt Damon" to see a great film about the two!

Some "expert" suggested that Albertans shouldn't bother to vote since the whole province will no doubt Conservative...but I still shall!

I want to start voting third party, but I feel there's a non-zero chance that sufficient Hillary supporters will jump-party, making it worth my while to vote Obama.

Her name is Sarah Silverman. She was on Mr Show in the 1990s.

I hope it actually gets people to vote. I'm surprised they didn't get Chris Rock to join in.
I've voted for third party politicians in everything but Congress races (I love Rush Holt, I'm actually proud of my congressional rep), well I actually swapped my vote with a Nader supporter in Florida in 2004 so I don't know if that one really counts. But NJ usually goes about 55%-60% for the Democratic party, so I thought it was reasonable to join one of the groups that was encouraging people in strong Blue states to swap with Nader supporters in battleground states because his goal of federal funding for a third party required a minimum percentage of the popular vote total rather than a number of votes in the electoral college.
