Re: Early voting
You know, as much as I enjoy going to the polls on election day and all, I'm getting nervous. I'm afraid I'm going to fuck up my ballot, like I'm going have some sort of seizure and accidentally fill in the wrong circles. Then, it occurred to me last night that I could die in my sleep sometime in the next couple of weeks, and THEN WHAT? Even if I were just in a coma or something, I wouldn't be able to vote. Or maybe my legs will fall off on election day, and I'll be sitting in the ER all day, waiting to have my leg holes sewn up. What if I get the flu and my eyeballs are boiling and I can't see the ballot? What if, like, I get shot in the head with an arrow and it destroys some part of my brain that regulates my previously latent neocon impulses, and I subsequently vote for Bush and Pete Coors and Marilyn Musgrave* and shit?
And I'm thinking maybe I'll sleep a little better if I get it over with now. I am going to make the ODB decide on all the judge stuff and whatnot**, so I have to get his crib sheet first, but maybe I just need to go do that, too, so I can die in my sleep with a clear conscience next week. Or, you know, whatever.
* Sure, she's not actually on my ballot, but what if I write her in somewhere or something?
** Because I am a lady and as such, I require strong masculine direction on non-frivolous issues.
