VOTE - D–None of the above

In the movie Brewster’s Millions with Richard Pryor he had to spend so many millions of dollars, but could not tell anyone why he was spending it. If he spent all of it, he would inherit a great deal of money. One way to spend a great deal of money, he went into a political campaign.  I love what he stood for – VOTE None of the above.

So many commercials lately, I don’t want to vote for anyone!  I like to watch hulu.com so I can avoid commercials. They are usually just 30 to 60 second spots. Well, wouldn’t you know it, Obama has his own commercials. He isn’t “running” for any other office but he states, “Two years ago you voted for a change, get out and vote so things don’t change.” Alright, do NOT use my quote for it isn’t verified. But I thought to myself, he has time to make commercials for the democratic party?  Isn’t he suppose to be on the job, like all the time?  Oh, good use of our tax money for it wasn’t coming out of his wallet.  Yup, get out and VOTE. Allow your voice be heard, and if you are so inclined vote D – None of the above.

Also ready for this day to be over. So silly to have something as trivial as politics separate families like it can.

Oh by the way, in an email that is circulating around – thought it was rather fitting for a day like today. So I am sharing it here, and author is unknown – so don’t know who to give credit to.

WHY I'M DEPRESSED . . . .
          Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel , "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land."
          Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land."
          Today, Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and mortgaged the Promised Land! I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc. . . . I called a Suicide Hotline. I had to press 1 for English. I was then connected to a call center in Pakistan . I told them I was suicidal. They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck......
