Seminole County, Georgia Sample Ballot for November 6th Election

If you haven't already participated in
Advance-Voting, here's what you can
expect when you go to vote.

The first two pages are what the entire
ballot will look like, with the
exception of the County Commissioner race--
which will change depending on where you
live/vote. (Following the two pages are the
alternate ballot selections for the corresponding districts.)

Of course it's all a moot point anyway, unless you
plan on writing in a candidate, since
they are all running unopposed.

The Price of Freedom


I was thinking of bayonets and horses again today.
Specifically, how I would rather be stuck with a bayonet in
a new version of the Boston Tea Party, or run over by a
horse being used by a new Paul Revere than stand in line
and wait behind the old couple at early voting at the courthouse.

And listen to the comedy of errors from their poor,
senile heads as they yammered on and on.


So, old befuddled Jed and Granny asked a million questions,
didn't understand uncontested races, didn't understand touch-screen,
and forgot their instructions as soon as they were told.
It took for-EV-er for Ma Kettle to finish up and
there's no telling who she voted for.

Feeble old coots going through all this in order to
exercise their democratic responsibility to the republic?
Should be awesomeness personified, right?
I'm just wondering if they even knew who the
candidates were. I imagine they were there to make
certain Millard Filmore got reelected.


Where's the fairness, too, since they'll likely be worm food
before November 6th, let alone Inauguration Day.
Ah, well, I endured...and Grandpa Willard was still
hard at work trying to finish his voting (before his
horse and buggy got fined for being illegally parked)
as I left the courthouse.

Still, after the experience, a good old Civil War doesn't
seem so difficult to survive. Nor does it seem so
difficult to imagine how it occurred.

(Now, I trust the folks at the Registrar's Office/Probate
Office, but this scene is likely to be repeated over
and over again with the populace of a mostly elderly retirement
community come election day. There are some skeevy
hoes volunteering at the polling places who could
take advantage of addle-brained seniors to promote
their candidate. Not that a Republican would ever
stoop to dirty tactics!!!!! Haaa! So, if you know an older
voter who may need help, PLEASE go with them!
Unless of course, you're the one intending to scam them!)


I cast my ballot to oppose greater tyranny,
to stop the spread of conservatism and oppression
of civil rights. But I can't shake the feeling that all I
did was kneecap one of the many angry cracker's votes.

As of my visit, 583 other persons had participated
in early voting. Approximately 10% of the
registered voter population in this area.
I imagine most are the zombified, clueless, oldsters
like those before me, muddling through the process,
spurred on by scare tactics and fear of the future.

Ah, well...at least the new "I Voted" stickers are cooler.

(Early Voting continues through Friday, November 2nd,
Monday thru Friday 9 to 5,
and special Saturday hours on October 27th, 9 to 4
at the Seminole County Courthouse, downtown)

**PLEASE NOTE:
YOU MUST have picture i.d.
and know what your name and address appears
as on the voter i.d. card! Be prepared!

The Art of Bullshit and Double-Speak



Republicans!
And their freakish toadies,
the 'Tea Party!" (ugh!)


All for 'smaller' government,
but...
not so small that it can't still;
 regulate and legislate other people's marriages,
regulate tax breaks for the wealthiest,
deregulate the entire business world,
eradicate environmental protections,
control women's and gay men's bodies,
impose and sustain wiretaps,
expedite the expelling of immigrants,
erode the rights of blacks, and
permanently undermine (and condemn to death) 
the poor, the sick, and the uninsured.


GO, Double-speak!

Size Queens

"What do you bring to the table?"
Here's the rule of thumb for everyday life;
You want your wing man or best bud to
have a smaller dick than you.

Because standing next to a smaller dick always
makes yours seem larger, merely by
comparison.

It's all relative; even if the two of you possess the
two smallest dicks on the planet, it's a moot
point because when he's the only other guy
in the room, you have the 'biggest' dick.

(Plus it's great for an ego-boost.)

Tweedles Dee & Dumb
In politics, however, it goes the other way.

If you're already a Big Dick, then in order to
'win friends and influence people,' to come out smelling
a little sweeter, you want an even bigger dick standing
next to you.

And thus, a Veep is born.

All who figured that Romney would go with a sweetheart
in order to make his harsh, unlikeable, inhuman
qualities more palatable couldn't have been more wrong.

Anyone who presumed he'd do his best to sway
women, blacks, Latinos, gays, and other losing
or questionable segments by choosing a slightly more
tolerant and liberal candidate....you got pawned!

(And of course, they're counting on the 'Hunk Factor' to
sway the truly ignorant. Oy! You think me wrong? Show Ryan's
pic to an uneducated person and see if they say "Ech! Horrible
on social issues! No go!" or "Wow! He's cute; he gets my vote!")

The Republican Party got it wrong;
This is not what is meant by
"Whoever has the biggest Dick, wins!"

Storm Warnings


The President
may not be a Saint....



...but we SURE as hell
can't afford  another
White Devil
running things.

If you think things are bad now,
wait til a greasy, lying, money-hungry,
fanatical cultist with no connection to
the little people starts
shoving his religion and repressive
regime 
down everyone's throats.

You ain't seen nothin', yet.
Let's hope we don't.

Explanations Abound


In the spirit of full disclosure and
transparency, Mitt Romney's  campaign
released this photo of how the former
governor was discovered and
groomed for the political arena.

If I Lied, I Could Look Good On Paper, Too, Bitch!

I am so Over Mitt (Nit-Wit) Romney, it is not even funny.

If he were just an overbearing and ignorant ass, it'd be one
thing, but his arrogance and his egregious pomposity make
me want to drive up and bitch-slap him in person.

Just got a campaign flier for him in the mail, sent to a mean
old witch who used to live on our property. Y'know...a bitter,
nasty, racist, homophobic, conservative, widowed, bitchy
old woman....the kind loony enough to think Romney looks
good and has character.

So this political mailer touts Rom-Nut as being praised by \
conservative leaders  for his stance on 'Life, Marriage, and
Religious Freedom.' Uh...which stance? You've got a lot of
choices, dumb-asses. Flip-flopping, sorry-ass putz.

The list of less than a dozen nobodies reads like a last-call
in a dark and ugly corner of the candidates-support-group;
presidents of hardcore right-wing nut job groups with three
members, former heads of anti-abortion groups, Catholic
organization officials from specific states, etc. WOW!

It lies about Romney being beside conservatives for four years,
says he took shots to take on politically unpopular 'Christian'
views, etc....Uh, NO...he didn't. He does exactly whatever
is politically expedient at any given moment.

His quote talks about how he wants to be President so he
can be true to HIS faith! Whoa, Nellie! Stop believing
your own press; This is NOT a Christian nation. We don't
need your unholy war spilling any more blood!

Anyway, it's a laugh-riot of how he has been this solid,
staunchly unapologetic conservative Christian and totally
against the "gays and baby-killers and heathens-trying-to-
keep-Baby-Jesus-out-of-the-classroom" for the last 200
years of his immortal lifeless existence, and how he and
his convert have slaughtered the families of five innocent
children and cast spells over them as if they were their own,
blah blah blah.

The problem is, that any supporter of this pair of teeth could
find out what a phony he is in two seconds by viewing his
voting record. They could watch video of him having
conversations when the media wasn't broadcasting and find
out his real personality. (They're all over YouTube.) They
would easily know why he is a dubiously weak link.

But alas, all they can think of is "Get the black guy out
of my White House!" and  "He sure does look and sound
sincere." The Fox-News Illiterati don't much care for facts
and figurin'...just pretty campaign brochures and prettier lies.

Two Can Play at This Game...Suckah!

In a bid to be the next President of the U.S. of A.,  ol'
Ricky Perry has started his campaign in earnest. He may
yet be the next elephant man (the likely Republican
nominee,) as his mind is surely as deformed as the original's
body.)

Perry and fellow nut Bachmann claim they hear voices
(not, but the way, a good sign for political leaders.)
Each say that "God" has spoken to them, instructing
them to run for office.

It's important to note that neither expands on which 'god' has
its hand up their hind quarters. I am here to further explore this.

I have actually been speaking with Yahweh/J.C. his own
self, and he assures me that he has nothing to do with either
Schmuck Extraordinaire.

He states, in fact, that there is NO affiliation between the
heavenly good and either candidate. Suggested was that we
look lower for a point of origin.

Upon inspection of the Dark Lord of Hades, he confirmed
that Rick Perry is in fact his favorite son, sent to spread
discord and dissent amongst the world, paving the way for
Satan to rule.

As a reward for all the bad done in Texas, Lucifer says
that he has sent horrible droughts and raging infernos to
show the world the gifts he intends to set loose on the
populace should he be set free by Perry being ushered
into the White House.

"The flames of discontent will consume you all!" he
chortled.

Pushed about Bachmann, Satan appeared offended and
quipped "Hell no! Even I wouldn't associate with that
crazy bitch!"
