doodlemaierI voted in the Democratic primary today for the very 1st time in my life. Not that I have much of an opinion about that, but wouldn't Melissa be proud? I'd love to tell her, but I'm already developing a cavity in my head and I don't particularly need the hole talked the rest of the way through! Basically, my vote is 'for rent' and this morning H gave me the quick-&-painless on why she was voting for her man and why (hint: this particular candidate has a better chance to win out over the republican than the other), and so with that, I felt called. . .
What I mean by my vote is for rent is that for the price of a hour or two and a couple of beers I will vote on your behalf (in my district), whether you're a convicted felon, your button-pushing index finger is broke off, or you're just greedy and want your vote to go twice as far, provided you explain to me who specifically you wish me to vote for and why. In the past, before I gave the skinniest rat's ass about politics (I still don't care much for it. I have trouble taking a politician at face value; please, they're fucking whores. . . ) this was a wonderful opportunity to get a primer on how certain political factions act, cast votes, and in general, solve problems. I suppose most kids learn their politics from their parents, but Pops and I don't see eye-to-eye and Moms is largest clueless on that front. So, the offer still stands - 1 vote for rent, inquire within. The worse that can happen is that what one wills me to cast a vote for is so contrary to what I can tolerate that I'll pick up the tab, and we've enjoyed a little debate.
(Or, I s'pose one can out themselves as a completely conservative dipshit and I vote the exact polar opposite of their intentions with stolen beer on my breath! Ha!)
