The United States of America has elected a new President. Barack Obama!

I want my country back, and I want the despicable campaign of hate, fear, lies, and division run by John McCain and personified by Sarah Palin to be repudiated by a massive Obama win. We can make this happen. The polls all say we’re going to make this happen . . . but I remember 2000 and I remember 2004, and even though the polls say that we vastly outnumber the people who tragically support John McCain, we’ve got to get to the polls and make sure our votes count.

So.
Make sure you get out and vote tomorrow, especially you younger people. You guys are overwhelmingly Democratic (yay!) but you’re also notoriously unreliable (boo!) so if you think you’re going to be in line for a long time and you’re going to get bored, bring a book, bring a DS, bring a PSP, bring a deck of cards, bring your cellphone and liveblog or Twitter the whole thing . . . just don’t get out of line and don’t leave without voting!

Everyone else, if you think it’s not worth waiting a few hours (or several hours) to cast an important vote in a close state, I have two words and one initial for you: George W. Bush.
Also, voter suppression is a terrible fact of life all over our country, and the ACLU has prepared a great resource for all 50 states, with printable sheets you can take with you to know your voting rights wherever you are

.

The Voting Rights Project of the ACLU is dedicated to providing citizens with information and assistance in exercising their right to vote! We are urging citizens to ACT this election year. For more information or to voice a voting rights complaint, call 1-877-523-2792

IBMs hold music is the music they play over the Public Address system in Hell. One word: saxophone

Now God, I know we have had our differences in the past, but I would like to take this opportunity to apologize from the heart and ask for a favor.

Please God, let Barack Obama win this election. Please. Pretty please with sugar on top. I don’t know if I can take another 4 years of war, deficit spending and far right-wing partisonship.

I am completely serious and if I ever have a kid I will raise him or her to think you are quite spiffy and worthy of praise.

Your pal,

Matt

That is all.

I like this one!

I can’t wait to use this on someone and watch them try to figure out if I am indeed insulting them. It WILL add flavor.

I bought my second CD of Andrew Birds music this weekend: Andrew Bird & the mysterious production of eggs. I can’t tell you what a great surprise his music has been for me! I picked the first CD up last year. It’s actually a newer CD. I  listened to it a lot and have been loving it. Then I started listening to more of his music on Last.FM and really liked it all, so while browsing around at the bookstore this weekend I saw this CD and decided to plunk down my $15. Worth every penny! Especially considering I have to drive to central Missouri this weekend. This will make the trip more tolerable!

Monkeys don’t scare me. They don’t look like humans and don’t act like humans. I see no reflection of myself in their eyes. Apes on the other hand are like creepy mutant psycho hillbillys. They scare the crap out of me. Looking at Chimpanzees is like getting a glimpse into a post nuclear-apocalyptic future might be, or a distant ultra-violent cannibalistic past. Ew. This is true of chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans. Not as true of gorillas for some reason. Did you know that chimpanzees will set up ellaborate, coordinated ambushes for monkeys and then rip them apart in a violent screaming lustful orgy of carnivorism?

Apes….*shudders*
