Post-election rants. Do you have one? - By N.L. Belardes
My post-election rant is that I'm not going to voting booths anymore. Consider me an absentee ballot person from here on out. Who wants to deal with all the annoying people at the polls when absentee ballots are available?

I'm always afraid that the "absentee ballot" is going to get lost in the mail.
I agree with you NL. Enough making it to the polls bullshit. Absentee from here on out.
Yeah, and who wants to be accosted by reporters and bloggers? I mean... uh...
Ain't nobody accosting me at my Polling Place in the Hood
no more rants for me... i vote absentee. :)
We're absolutely fucked!!!
Until the next trip anyhow.

i had a rant, but it turned into a humorous anecdote. bah!
anyhoot, if you wanna read it...it's on the new blog.
can you really vote absentee for no good reason...like, even if you're not going to be "absent"?
