Hey, DeKalb County voters! [View all]

I hope you're not passing on today's election because "only Republicans are running."

I went by my polling place just to make sure the Georgia Republicans hadn't pulled some dirty trick like putting Ralph Reed on the Dem ticket... plus I'd love it if the Dems have a strong statewide showing to make the Repukes look pathetic.

For a nanosecond I considered voting for Santorum or Paul just to help make sure things stay fucked up for the R's a while longer, but then my lifelong string of NEVER voting for a fucking Republican would have been broken. Plus, I could just see Santorum winning Georgia by one vote, and that being enough to give him the nomination, and then through fraud and trickery and luck winning the general election in a nightmare scenario -- and it would all be my fault!

So anyway, I took a look at the Democratic ballot and was surprised to see not only the name of President Obama, but also a vote on whether to allow Sunday sales of packaged alcoholic beverages. So piss off a prude -- drop by the polls before 7 p.m. and cast your vote in support of Sunday package sales!
