I Voted and Redistributed Cookies

I voted for the candidate that isn’t Jesus- the one whose followers weren’t humping my leg and trying to geesh hope and change all over my good jeans.

I noticed that Virginia reverted to the 1840’s as far as voting technology went for this election.  They reintroduced the paper ballot.  One side of the voting room was reserved for normal people who believe in technology and wanted to use the touch screens.  The other side, you filled in a bubble sheet, showed it to a campaign worker, who fed it into an optical scanner.  When I was there, hardly anyone was using the paper ballots.  News reports today said that the paper ballots were getting jammed in the scanners because they were wet.  Nice technology you have there.

On the way out, I noticed that the democrat booth had all kinds of cookies and snacks set up at a table.  The republican booth had nothing.  I went up to the democrat booth and stuffed my pockets full of yummy chocolate chip cookies and tasty oatmeal raisin cookies.  When one of them kindly asked that I try to save some for the other voters, I told them that I was redistributing the wealth of the cookies, and walked away.  And just like the government, I didn’t really give the cookies to anyone else, just consumed them myself.
