It's your civic duty!

Voting! You've got about 37 more days to do it! Better get ready! Why so early, you ask? Because, 40 days prior to the election is, at least in Illinois, the bare maximum time to send for one's absentee ballot, and since I'm about as absentee as it gets, I'm sending out the application, like, seventh thing tomorrow. I have other stuff to do first, but application is up there. Because, let's face it, this would be the election that counts, after all. Uh oh... I feel a sigh coming on. This would be where I get political, drop the komedy, and stick with comedy. Ore even qomedy, though I don't think I'll get that melodramatic.

Yes, it's the first presidential election I'll be participating in, but I won't be voting for anybody. Rather, I'll be doing something I don't particularly like, and voting against someone. Hopefully, it'll be just one drop in the landslide bucket, but hey, most people are stupid, so instead of looking through those parties without cute representative quadruped, in the hopes of coming across a nice person who I can agree with wholeheartedly, I'm forced to leap onto one side of the Great American Political Picket Fence, and throw my one vote at the fellow who I think is less likely to screw up my country beyond hope of reparation. Oy! Is how politics is supposed to work? Isn't the very point of political parties that one doesn't need to be a rich white man to get the nod? Can't middle-class white men play too? Or am I just a fool in a plutocracy? A plutablandocracy? A pornocracy? A list of government types? Psephocracy sounds about accurate, doulocracy seems unlikely, chirocracy seems like something I can swing, infantocracy should mean something other that the obvious. Punditocracy may just be what we have now.

Deleting political subroutines, re-initializing komedy. There we go. Back to normal.
