Sad

This makes me sad.

Reminds me what a bunch of fuckin’ lemmings (don’t think, just follow) a subset of our country is.

More Reasons I Don’t Like the Debates

This video does a good job showing why I wasn’t very fond of the presidential debates.

Voting Today

Because my state is so awesome cool, I’ll be voting early today.  Here’s what I learned today after calling my local Town Clerk’s office and talked to a nice woman named Judy.  This, of course, only pertains to Wisconsin.

“Early Voting” in WI basically involves going to your local City/Town/Village Clerk’s office, filling out a request for an absentee ballot (or bringing a completed one with you), then filling out the absentee ballot.  Each office has set hours they will be opened.

Once I submit my vote this afternoon, it will get sealed in an envelope.  On Election Day, time permitting, the poll workers will grab an absentee ballot envelope, announce they are voting on behalf of the person at the address listed on the envelope, then remove the vote and insert it into the machine.  All absentee ballots will be entered on Election day and final results will not get sent until they are.  (A few years ago I heard that absentee ballots only got counted if the election is close, which is not true.)

Hmmm, I may do this absentee ballot thing more often!
