I always leave the voting booth with a deep sense of satisfaction. I nearly whistled as I walked home. Voting is the most basic of our panoply of rights, and I’m always proud of, and grateful for, my excursions to my polling place. Even for a primary. It’s so easy to do, yet turnout — especially on primary days — is notoriously low among our complacent populace. People are dumb. What can I say?
Today felt especially good in contrast with yesterday’s day-long mourning. (September 11, 2001, was a voting day, remember?)
America has alternated between sticking its head in the sand and up its ass since then. Sand. Ass. Sand. Ass.
Let’s hope the votes count.
... but enough about me
