11.1.10 – Get Out the Vote

I'm still on hiatus from A Movie a Day, but felt I needed to comment further on our upcoming election.

Tomorrow is Election Day here in the U.S. It's not a presidential year, but, in some ways, is more important. My friend's mother, who I couldn't get to vote in 2008 because she thought it was a done-deal, is voting tomorrow, and said she thought it was one of the most important elections of her life.

While I am trying to remain optimistic, if you watch enough political ads (there are no regular commercials right now) and listen to the pundits, it seems it could be a very bad day if you are liberal like me. Luckily I have plotted my day out. I will be voting early and then working from home. I will have the afternoon off to go to my hairdresser, where the chemicals used will slightly disorient me for the rest of the day. Thanks to my trip to Frankfort this past weekend, I have an ample supply of chocolate to console me if things go badly. Of course if things go badly, there really won't be enough chocolate to get us all through the next two years, but I guess we'll deal with that later.
