Will gladly say so long to this kind of fun

     As though we need further proof that SaPa is a dipshit or a snake, or both: after voting in Wasilly this morning, Palin was asked whom she voted for. She demurred.

     Either she has the reasoning ability of a preschooler, or she voted for felonious Internets titan Ted "The Tube" Stevens. 

     Psst, Gov'nor! I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours. 

     My own experience was easy-peasy. Small line, helpful -- even cheerful -- poll volunteers, no trouble with the touchy touchscreen, and now I'm sipping free Starbucks. 

     Hopie and Andy are coming over tonight to watch the returns. Virginia polls close at 7:00, and I just read on Pollster.com that we won't see any of those super-reliable exit polls until 5:00 or later. Maybe I can get some writing done today.

     Happy, happy election day!

     

So proud!

     It's raining and chilly in our Virginia town this morning, but the voting lines are long. M took A to our polling place at 6:15, and they were done by 7:30. M said the people in line were upbeat and excited, and that A was so well-behaved that people commented on her composure. 

     I expect the wait to extend throughout the day, so I'll walk up the street as early as I can after a 10:15 business call. There's a Starbucks on the corner where I'll wait in yet another line to claim my free cup of coffee. 

     I go all weak-kneed over the displays of patriotism and love of democracy that come out, despite the ugliness, on election day. Very moving, very inspiring.

     Very determined to send McPalin back to Arilaska.

     VOTE!
