Andrew: What do you need a fake I.D. for?
Brian: So I can vote!
—The Breakfast Club
It’s Election Day. Don’t forget to vote.
At home without a car….and it’s Election Day. Maybe I should call the election board and request a ride to the polls. I need to exercise my right to vote as an American citizen!!!!! In any case, take a look at a piece I wrote a few years ago about voting.
The election today is to choose each of the party candidates for governor and senator. Thinking about it makes me ask a question. These political parties are private. So why should we use public funds for private organizations to pick their candidates? Instead they should let the parties have their own conventions to choose their candidate. Most of the time there is a front runner in primary elections anyways. So most of the time these primary elections are just a formality anyways. Why not use public funds where they are most needed….in a general election among all of the parties.
I’ll be going to Dancin’ in the District tonight. Couldn’t find anyone to go with, so I’ll be going alone. Cracker and Better Than Ezra. Never seen Cracker preform, so it should be interesting. Expect a full concert review posted afterwards.
