Corrupt voting

Why oh why is our voting system in this country so corrupt?!?! Not only did our system (lack of one) create a huge fiasco eight years ago, but now you can be inebriated and vote at the same time!

Last night, we attended the Vote Early Rock Late event in Fountain Square: http://vote-ohio.net/. I've never attended an election event before, and was a little pumped up for this one, thinking maybe something cool would happen. However, I was less than inspired. First, the accoustics at Fountain Square are horrible. I could barely tell the difference in melodies between some of The Breeders more popular tunes. Then, the lineup of speakers did little to pump up or engage the audience. Thirdly and most importantly, they were selling alcohol and encouraging early voting (right there in fact) at the same time. And since this rally was all for Obama, I also wouldn't be surprised if he was the only name on the ticket. Since when did alcohol and voting mix? And why the early voting? What happened to election day just being a singular day after all of the tireless campaigning was said and done?

One of the main reasons Eric and I stuck around was to check out Natalie Portman. She was announced with little fanfare, and before I knew it this little pixie girl was dropped out of the sky from fairy land. We could barely hear her, all she said was "There's my grandma. And my mom went to Ohio State. and blah blah blah. Oh, and go vote." Of course she was chic in her navy blazer, huge scarf with white T, super high heels and tiny dark jeans. Her whole booty was the size of just one of my booty cheeks. And that was that.

BOO EARLY VOTING!
