Stuffing the ballot box in my mind

I am shitting bricks.
Well, I guess I shouldn't use that kind of language in this public forum.
Shitting rocks.

This is simplistic and unfair, but anybody who lives in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, or a few other states, and DOESN'T vote tomorrow, should be shot. As an eternal realist, I will accept the unfortunate possibility of a Bush victory tomorrow, and I will likely accept it rather quickly. However, it will break my heart, and it will produce the same reaction as the first Bush victory, the same reaction as September 11, 2001 - sadness for America. I am not optimistic about Kerry's chances, but that is due less to his actual chances than to my modus operandi - prepare for the worst, hope for the best, eat everything in arm's reach.

Should Bush prevail tomorrow, I have two words for myself - comfort food.
