My Favorite Tuesday in November

Setting: the kitchen/breakroom at work last week
Scenario: A young attorney, my co-worker Paul, and myself are discussing voting in Virginia.

Young attorney: I'm working the polls in Virigina. I'll be marking names off the registration list. It's all electronic. Pretty cool.
Me: I've only voted once in an actual booth in Texas.
Young attorney: And by booth you mean the shooting range where you take your gun and shoot at whichever candidate's name you don't want to win.
Paul: So there are going to be a lot of people aiming at Obama's name.
Young attorney: Exactly. And to vote a straight party ticket, you have to empty the entire clip into the opposition's paper outline.

I voted in Virginia this morning, but I am not a Virginian. That would take a desire to own a plantation and a burning hatred of Yankee carpetbaggers.

Not like you need the reminder, but:
