Obama-bama

This past weekend, an older gentleman called me “an Obama-bama Socialist.” First of all, I have no idea what an “Obama-bama” is. My best guess is that it’s something like Jerry’s Deadheads or maybe Jimmy’s Parrot Heads. Obama’s Obama-bama Socialists. Yeah. I don’t know.

Anyway, this old man and I have not discussed politics in any way and I’ve never shared with him my thoughts on any candidate, for the Presidency or otherwise, in this election or otherwise. I said as much to him.

All you young kids are Obama-bamas. You just aren’t old enough to understand the evil of Muslim Socialism.

I thought about punching him in his old fat head. I also thought about telling him I’m writing in Charles Jay and Thomas Knapp. I ignored him and did neither.

Voting

I got up early this morning, took a shower, dressed and headed to the polls. I got to my local polling place at 5:55am. There was a HUGE line stretching out the building, around the sidewalk and down the street all the way to the next block. At 8:05am I walked out of the building with my “I Voted” sticker proudly displayed on my lapel.

Happy Election Day.

    I’ve been called worse. I was labeled “an obvious Republican” as I exited the polling place because I was wearing a necktie.

  2. I was able to walk straight in at 3:55pm, and beat the rush by a few minutes. The room designated for voting at the city library was tee-tiny…made me wish I could’ve dropped some wicked, paint-peeling ass while casting my vote.

    You do “share” your workouts with us for free - so that should make you a socialist ? ;-)
