Wasn't gonna post about this, but...
Nov. 4th, 2008 05:39 pmI just had to say it (and I believe this is my first ever political post in this journal).
Yes, I went and voted (Go Obama!!!).
But that's not the what I wanted to share. Saw something very odd on the ballot. I'd heard jokes about this, but didn't realize it was true.
There was a senate candidate named "Pro-Life" (yes, that hyphenated word is his full legal name).
*tries not to snicker*
Then in parentheses after that was his former name (Marvin Richardson). Article here if you're curious.
*bites lip hard*
On another odd note, I've never seen so many happy people in one place in my life. If the sun could have a smile and burst out in song, it would have. People were skipping (yes, skipping), smiling, laughing, holding open doors for random people (myself included).
o.0
It was like walking into the twilight zone.
*goes back to ignoring the election until I absolutely HAVE to (and only because my mother is going to go apeshit over it when she gets back tonight)*
