President Obama just gave me his number and wants to hear how I am doing

I think I will text him that I am kind of bitter today
Maybe I will also ask him if he thinks I should vote early

Serious question: My polling place has never been crowded and is within walking distance of my house and i'll be home all day this year. Is there any reason for me to vote early?

I don’t think so and in fact think it’s better to vote on Election Day

Takes the risk out, if you happen to be sick, or your spouse or kid is sick on election day, and you don't feel like you can get out...I am gonna vote early.

If you early vote and then die before election day, does your vote still get counted? Asking for my friends Beverly and Betty.

Hmmm
they were originally posted on facebook

Hey..we are no longer having a state sponsored holiday in Virginia to traitors: Lee–Jackson Day
The original holiday created in 1889 celebrated Lee's birthday (January 19) until 1904, which brought the addition of Jackson's name and birthday (January 21).
In 1983, the holiday was merged with the then-new federal holiday Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, as Lee–Jackson–King Day in Virginia; the merger was reversed in 2000.
what a dick move by I'm sure the GOP legislator in 1983 to combine those holidays
I'm so glad Virginia is now a blue state

(technically Rick Wright did this...not the whole band)
the real shame is Clare Torry got paid only £30 for that incredible and unforgettable vocal performance
at least in 2005 the band settled with Clare and she now gets royalties from 2005 on
-
I am glad Clare Torry sued and got paid but I don’t think the band did anything wrong… they asked her to step in a booth and wail away…she was hired as a typical backing vocalist .she ended up getting into it -going with it as the band asked her to do- and coming up with something original and it ended up becoming the song but am sure it didn’t occur to anyone at the time that she should get a co-write credit!! As I remember reading she came out of the booth and was very embarrassed and apologetic and the band told her it was great

so last night in the Mitten State a state house district went blue which was carried in double digits by the cheeto... a district around Grand Rapids which spawned the DeVos's and is a conservative as all get out.. anyways the QOP clown defeated was the one that recently stated that rape is inevitable and his daughters should just lay back and enjoy it...
his daughter came out against him and he turned around and blamed it on her indoctrination at a liberal university
so is this a case of words matter or evidence of a possible shift from red to blue...
-
Is the "Mitten state" Utah?

You know the state shaped like a mitten with the extra peninsula bit…
Although I see the case could be made that Wisconsin is mitten shaped if you look really hard at it…
