All Kidding Aside, It’s Time to Go Vote
And it doesn’t matter which side you support: McCain/Palin, Obama/Biden or that write-in campaign you started for Joe The Plumber. In voting,we have a precious right that a lot of people around the world are envious of.
Around here, we get to poke fun at the political process (and about a million other crazy things) because unlike in a lot of countries, they can’t put us in front of a firing squad for doing so.
They say that if you don’t vote, you don’t have the right to complain. Now as bloggers, we’d like to say that you always have the right to complain. We’d be out of business if that kind of talk caught on. But it’s a lot harder for us to take you seriously if you don’t vote. Besides which, we’re going to have some awards for you to vote on soon and this whole president thing will be good practice for the important stuff.
Gosh darn it, the right to participate in the political process is as American as fast-food induced obesity and overpriced, inefficient gas guzzling SUV’s. Not exercising your rights? Now that’s Simply Dumb.
