Go Vote

Well, it's election day here and in some other places. If it is where you are, and you didn't do the early vote thing, get thee to a polling place and exult in the vibrant democracy we get to celebrate for 5-45 minutes (depending on the line) every 2 years or so.

To help get you motivated, reflect on some lyrics by one of the greatest bands of all time, "X":

"Honest to goodness
the bars weren't open this morning.
They must've been voting for
a new president or something.
Do you have a quarter?"
I said yes because I did.
"Honest to goodness
the tears have been falling
all over the country's face."
It was better before,
before they voted for whats-his-name
THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE NEW WORLD.

And we all know who "whats-his-name" is now, right? I thought you did. I swear, this song rings as true today as it first did in 1983 when that other whats-his-name was president or something.
