The More You Know

Okay, this is a public service announcement, but it reminded me of those cheesy promo spots from NBC in the '80s. You know, the ones with Scott Bakula or Bill Cosby telling us to Stop, Drop and Roll or Just Say No. Okay, there's a chance that my childhood memories may be blurring together and that none of that really happened. I was actually surprised to find that Alan Thicke (Alan Thicke, people!) never recorded one. And, I can't be the only one who is surprised that these promos are still running. Seriously - they started in 1989 (1989, people!)! Did they ever have one warning us of the dangers of slap bracelets or how light reflecting off of fluorescent clothing is harmful to the eyes? Maybe they had an impact back then, but are kids even watching Will and Grace now?

Anyway, there's only one thing left to say:



VOTE


Besides, in this election, it's really the less you know.




And, his daughter is hotter.

yes, but the bush girls are drunker. it's such a tough call! giant douche or turd sandwich?

i voted this morning as my polling place happened to be in the lobby of my apartment complex. can i just say that i am not surprised that florida was such a clusterfuck last time as 90% of the poll workers appeared to be over 90? i can only imagine the geriatric circus going on in retiree world.

I hear from certain relaible sources in L.A. that old people really have eBay figured out, too.

One of my coworkers offered a reason for the long lines at polling places this morning: the people in charge of finding voter names from the list were blind! Surely, that can't be good for Democracy.

I think that people used to get 1-2 days completely off to vote, mainly because it was such an arduous task to trek to the polling place by horse and wagon. I don't know if there's any truth to that, but it might just be a new Birthday Party stance.
