Wearing my 'I voted today'sticker, I went to the grocery store. A lady passing by me does indeed ask, "Oh, is today *election* day?" in surprise.

What I should have answered was

a) Not in Bizzaro where you come from.
B) No, I just haven't washed my shirt since the last election.
C) What have you been smoking?
D) Aren't you a little old to watch MTV *all* the time?
E) Elections are the opiate of the masses.
F) I vote for all the cute ones.
G) Yes, FDR is running again.
H) (write in candidate)

Sheesh. My attitude has usually been that I don't need a sticker or to go around showing I voted, but if awareness is so low, maybe it's worth wearing one to raise it. I don't know if they're giving out stickers at my polling place, but if they do, I think I'll take one after all!

Is it that the woman watches all MTV (they do still have Rock the Vote, right?) or that she has no TV or radio & always looks down at the sidewalk so she doesn't see any of the candidates' posters? OK, my write-in candidate is "I want to move where you live. It must be so peaceful, without all those annoying campaign ads!"

I guess she doesn't get campaign mailings, either. I'm seriously considering basing one of my votes on who sent me the least campaign literature!

Back from voting. Didn't see any stickers. Not a New York thing, maybe? (We don' need no steenkin' steeckers?)
