Casting the vote
In case anyone was wondering, I have confirmed the intense smell of pot doth leaketh from my neighbor's apartment.
At 7:30 in the morning.
I woke up too early with every intention of voting, but the elevator doors hadn't yet opened when I heard the unmistakable cawing of yuppie voters standing in the lobby of my apartment building waiting to vote. The line was out the door people. Yay for people voting!
However, their prepared Loring park asses threw a wrench right in to my day, and I ditched my fabulous idea of early-bird voting and was officially at work early this morning for the first time... um, ever? I don't think you understood me. I. Was. Early. Um, I don't *do* early, kay? I arrive exactly when I mean to, which isn't at 8:45 in the morning. Voting will take place tonight when I will probably have to stand in line, twice as long as I could have this morning, with all the other procrastinating yuppies. At least this time I'll be bringing entertainment! Entertainment doth rocketh.
So... what sort of scandal will develop in the next 24 hours. Any conspiracy theories?
PS, if you're one of those people that needs to bring a cheat-sheet to the polls... PLEASE, sit down before you hurt someone. You don't get to vote.
PPS, Jon Stewart rules.

You know what really sucks about all that? I just read in the Pioneer Press that employers MUST allow employees time off (PAID) to vote. You could have voted at 9am, stopped off for a Soy Chai Extra Hot, wandered around the city and strolled in around 11-ish and no one could have said shit to you about it. Ah well, hindsight is 20/20, but you (and every other Minnesotan reading this right now) will be SO prepared for the next election.
Hope you're not still queueing! It's all over the news here too (1.30 am currently, and there's the usual results and analysis programme going on through the night), and they've shown some unprecedentedly long queues. Did you take sandwiches?
Procrastination rules. Look ma, NO LINES!!!
