Why I’m staying home tomorrow:

Deval Patrick v Kerry Healey?  I might still lean Republican, even if I’m not registered that way anymore*, but I wouldn’t vote for Kerry Healey if you paid me to do it.  The woman irks me.  And I’m not quite to the point where I can see leaving my cozy house to vote for a Democrat, even if he does support Cape Wind (which pisses off Ted Kennedy, which makes me very, very happy).

Question 1?  I’m opposed to the entire concept of the liquor license, so handing out a few more of them fails to charm me enough to make it worth a trip.  Say what you will about California, but it’s downright civilized to be able to buy your tequila at the grocery store.  Even there, though, the state gets a nice cut from letting you sell it, then another nice cut once you’ve sold it.  It’s such a freaking racket.

Anyhow, there’s something on there about child care workers unionizing, and whatever the other question was, and I can’t be assed to look it up.  Because this is the 21st century and the damned ballot is covered in 19th century bullcrap and I just can’t bring myself to care.

And as for the argument that it’s somehow un-American not to vote, I’d say it’s un-American to shut up and do as you’re told even if it makes you throw up a little.  If you’ve got to hold your nose to even get near the ballot, maybe it’s time to retain a little dignity and stay home.

*Both political parties can kiss my slimmer-than-usual ass.  I didn’t sign on with either one of them.  Somebody impresses me, I’ll vote for ‘em.  Isn’t that how it’s supposed to work, anyway?

1. Ohhhhhhhi am debating whether to even go myself to the polls.

   SIGH

2. I’m so with you Deb.  Kerry Healey...for some reason she comes off as a royal bitch.  Deval seems ok...but not “ok” enough for me to get my but out to vote for him.  As for question one...I laugh when I go in to the liquor store and they have all kinds of “propoganda” up about how more licenses means more drunk driving etc and then you go to to the grocery store and the signs say stuff about more choice etc.  Bottom line: the liquor stores don’t want to lose any business and the grocery stores want more.  They try and play it off differently, but really, that’s what it comes down to.  Liquor licenses are eveil anyway. Another example of the government sticking their noses where they don’t belong.

3. Just be thankful you only have one state to deal with.  We have been bombarded with ads from VA, MD, WV, and the DC district.  IT’S OBNOXIOUS!!!  This day cannot get over fast enough for me!
