Vote or Die!

Actually, I still don't know what that means. Anyone?

Tonight's gonna be nervewracking. I may stick with Comedy Central's "Indecision 2004: Prelude to the Recount" coverage. Check the Daily Show's election webpage, where they promise to update their election blog throughout the day.

Meanwhile, here's The Onion's Election Guide.

Now, go out there and act like your vote's gonna make a difference!

UPDATE: Maria and I hit the neighborhood polls at around 8:30 this morning, and the mood was calm. It was our first time voting in our new Glendale neighborhood, where our polling station is located inside the garage of a nearby neighbor, of all places. We were greeted by an excited volunteer, who explained the new ink push-button voting system... and we stood patiently and listened, even though we had actually already used the system during last year's California governor recall election.

Clutching our voter's guides (yes, we did our homework), a few ink punches here, a few there, and we were done. Ahh, the crowning moment: Receiving the "I Voted" sticker! (Which I promptly lost.) Maria somehow also snagged an "I Voted" Twix bar from the volunteers. Now, we wait.

Meanwhile, here's Matt Welch's quick top ten foreign policy reasons to vote against Bush. (Met Matt and his wife Emmanuelle at the L.A. Press Club party for Ben Fritz and the Spinsanity folks last night -- they're good folk.)
