VOTE, n. The instrument and symbol of a freeman's power to make a fool of himself and a wreck of his country.
2009 Update: The franchise by which citizens choose between prosecution and burglary.
Californians, do remember to cast your ballot today. There's almost $200 apiece at stake, so it's like working twice.
Vote: I'm voting for all those kine words you got yesterday. Could be an award winner!
ReplyDelete..
Vote: Casting pearls before swine most of the time.
ReplyDeleteCA is in the crapper.
Have a nice day.
:-)
I Vote that I go back to work and stop reading blogs for a while.
ReplyDeleteMy verification word is Fater...add another t and I would call it an admonition...so I am getting up and going for a walk instead of sitting down to work...so I changed my Vote...but not my party.
Working twice? Is that consecutive or concurrent--twice as long or twice as hard?
ReplyDelete$200 apiece? And I moved to the Mark Sanford state, but I didn't vote for him. He makes me dizzy. A man of strong convictions that each cancel all the others out
ReplyDeleteVOTE, n. The instrument that kills a Socrates, elevates a Hitler, and ultimately proclaims the divine right of kings. The most cherished possession of a nation in which the citizens live at the pleasure of corporate tyrants, their masters.
ReplyDeleteIn California, Athens is falling again.
I voted and worked at my local poll as well. Gimme $200.
ReplyDeleteWhat, they pay you to vote out there? So that is how the west was won.
ReplyDeleteVote is the thing elections have nothing to do with.
ReplyDeleteYeah, a banner day, Jim.
ReplyDeleteThanks, JD. I'm doing my best.
Mo'a you throw the best parties.
Harder, Icy, I'm pretty sure. I figured there was a shade more in taxes available to declare than money to earn for most of us.
Pia, convictions tend to do that in a politician.
Nice, Amoeba. I read that article. Why do you think they didn't interview me?
Ha, Actonbell. C-A, not P-A! But I hope you found a way to vote.
TLP, can I put it on your tab?
Cooper, the number was based on the money at stake divided by residents. For all the hoo-ah, at least a quarter of us earned more yesterday than we voted on.
Ariel, split the day's prize with Amoeba. Excellent.
