What's up with Whatsit

My take on the election

Oooohhhh, the agony! For the past two weeks, I've had no idea whatsoever of what to buy at the store. My commercials telling me every purchase to make have been pre-empted by commercials telling me which person to vote for!

Seriously, wouldn't the regular commercial buyers be aggravated because all their time is taken up by political ads? Which nobody can believe anyway, because we know it's just a matter of the other candidate trying to make that person look as bad as possible.

I know one thing: there are a few - really only one or two - candidates who haven't slung any mud whatsoever. Regardless of party, I KNOW I will be voting for those people. Anybody who slings mud is just losing ground.

The school where I work is a polling place. The cars of people who had come to vote were parked waaayyyyy down the street. Thank goodness one of the men who works here was outside saving the parking lot just for employees.

There are three places in town giving out free stuff for people who can show an "I voted" sticker: Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (yum yum yum), Starbucks Coffee, and Chick-Fil-A. This is the first year this has happened, to my knowledge. The Chick-Fil-A and the Krispy Kreme are across the street from each other, so you could theoretically have a free chicken sandwich, then a free doughnut for dessert.

I'm all about getting whatever people offer for free. As my mother-in-law used to say, "My name is Jimmy, I'll take what you gimme."
