America - F**K Yea!

Election Day. Like it or loathe it, we now all get to see where the chips fall. Or maybe we're about to embark on a replay of 2000. I've stayed away from speculating over the past week, mainly because the winds seem so uncertain and the counterspin has already begun. But from my perspective, it looks like turnout will be big. Maybe even huge. After dropping off Maya at her morning daycare, I made my way to my polling place. Yet another Lutheran church in Ballard. Fair enough - if I'm gonna trust leaving my daughter under their care, I certainly expect they can handle counting the neighborhood's vote. The voting early crowd was pretty thick. This is Seattle, though. You can't swing a burning American flag anywhere around here without flicking ash onto a crowd of well-informed gawdless Commies. We'll see what the rest of the country does and then I guarantee you a sizable blow-by-blow on the whole spectacle from my perspective. Please check back.

Hope your own polling gives you a significant head of steam today. Rock on.

UPDATE: If you watch one campaign ad this entire Election season, make it this one. George Michael and Dubya indellibly linked. Brilliant. Liberal gutcheck as all get out. Enjoy.
