Put one in the eye of Herr Asshole!

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.
