Put one in the eye of Herr Asshole!

Credit: http://www.donald-trump-is-an-asshole.com/donaldtrumpisanasshole.jpg

ezs note: Yeah, yeah, I know. It's time for me to bug you again. But think about this: You may think of a tiny grain of sand. Insignificant and puny, you think. But someone picks up a handful of sand and throws it in Herr Asshole's face.

Now that's satisfaction!

Now here's what I would like you to do. Go to your town or city hall and register and vote. Some like our state is very progressive - but move over a state or two and they're very regressive. No matter the state, do it now and feel good about your ability to vote.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 7.
