PHH: HOPE and CHANGE has come to your local Board of Education!

Hey you! VOTE!

Votey Vote Vote! Today! Who cares if it's an odd-numbered year and the only elections on the ballot are your local garbage collector, New York City Mayor For Life, South Carolinian Sex Ambassador to Argentina, President of Afghanistan, and American Idol Justice. That's OK. It's important to vote. After all, once the Brownshirts in power enact their terrible health care and net-neutrality, we will lose the right to vote (READ THE BILL!!!11 IT'S RITE AFTER DETH PANLEZ!), so this may be your last time. No matter how you vote, Fox News will declare this as *proof* of the American people's rejection of Obama's Socialist policies (a full year after wholeheartedly approving them!) All because you voted for Jim-Bob as your Village Comptroller and Ray-Ray as your township Ombudsman, so thanks a lot. And you never know what kind of crazy ballot initiatives some loons snuck on the ballot, like making it illegal for gay ferrets to share the same cage. Outrageous! (Spoiler Alert: there are no ballot initiatives) I voted, and I can assure you that there were no crowds, unlike last year...and they still had "I Voted" stickers, you guys!!! They'll give them to you, even if you aren't wearing your sexxxy costume from Slut-oween.

So congratulations, Patriot! DON'T TREAD ON ME, amiright?? You can even use your time in the voting booth to reenact your historic vote last year when your vote for Hopey McChange got torn to shreds by the optical scanner machine, but it didn't matter, because Connecticut,yo!!

Exit the Polling Place and proceed directly to PHH: Off-Year Election Edition, tonight. We will gather around and watch the returns come in for County Sheriffs around the nation. I'm sure CNN will have floating maps and holograms, and maybe holographic floating maps. Liberty Fries, Democracy pitchers, and those silly campaign straw hats for everybody! Red, White, and Blue Rock Tavern, 369 Capitol Ave. Hartford.
