Thank God This Shit Is Over

You may have noticed (ok, maybe not) I didn’t make a GO OUT AND VOTE post. Maybe because your vote had a 1 in 10,000 chance of making a difference according to fivethirtyeight.com. And that’s if you happen to live in one of those “swing states”. Barack Obama winning my home state of New York was more of a lock than McCain winning Texas. But hey, gotta exercise your right and all that crap. Can we all move on now? I’m sick of all the shit plastered on Facebook walls and in online forums. I’m tired of all the one-sided arguing. Neither side is the fucking Anti-Christ, shitheads.

I’m just glad I don’t have to hear about the vast majority of stuff listed here ever again: thisfuckingelection.com

I’m glad I don’t have to wait for infomercials to be over before I can watch the last three innings of the World Series.

I’m glad I don’t have to see fucking CHRIS BERMAN interviewing Presidential candidates again.

But yes, most of all, I’m glad that this ridiculously long election is over and that this country can move forward now. Hopefully, Obama can take us in the right direction. He better thank David Palmer in his acceptance speech.

God Bless America, bitches.

Glassbooth: My Family’s Results

With a small family gathering occurring yesterday, and with politics being a hot topic, I figured I’d show off the power of the internet. I basically had to administer the quiz for my grandparents, but the rest of the family managed. I could have predicted the majority of these results, but it was interesting anyhow.

Grandpa: 71% McCain

No surprise here. My grandpa might have ran across McCain in Korea somewhere. They are basically the same guy. But I’m pretty sure my grandpa is more intelligent.

Grandma: 73% Barr

I didn’t see this coming, but I didn’t know Barr was a pro-life Libertarian. Maybe because I didn’t know those could exist. Next thing, I’ll find out that a Philly sports fan can be a good human being.

Aunt: 80% Nader

Apparently, my late uncle liked Nader. I guess my aunt couldn’t help being convinced of the logic of Nader.

Dad: 71% McCain

“Like father, like son” holds true here. But not in my case, I guess.

Mom: 65% Obama

She also got 64% McCain. I don’t know how the hell she swung that. Maybe she hates gays and loves immigrants?

So looking at those results, I don’t think you can get much more varied than my close family.

Guess I Need to Tell My Parents I’m Voting For Obama Now

I would do whatever you say, Natalie. If you wanted me to murder my parents instead of talk to them, I’d still do it. Just say the words! I’LL BURN MYSELF! I’LL BURN MY PARENTS!!
