In Lieu of Super Tuesday


Today I ran into (almost literally) Rudy Giuliani. I was walking on 6th avenue to grab a sandwich and noticed him walking with some other guy (no entourage). I thought to myself, hey, that looks like Giuliani. He caught me staring so I felt compelled to say something, so our transaction went as follows:

Me: "Hey, Mayor!"
Him: "Hey, how ya doing?"

I was pretty jazzed about it. Not that I would have voted for him if he stuck it out, but you know, it's fun to see people on the street that you see on TV. Plus, I am relieved to see he is looking well. In recent press I thought he looked quite gaunt and aged. Whew.

At least he was nicer than Alan Alda.

Wheeeee! I voted this morning; it was my first time voting in the state of NY. I think my voting machine was built around the time that Truman was in office, so hopefully my vote is actually counted. I am very excited about this election, if you hadn't noticed already. So, in the words of Charlotte bellow, from Making Fiends, I urge you to Vote Vote Vote!

EPISODE 12 - Sung by Charlotte (1), (2):

(1) Vote, vote, vote,
vote, vote, vote.
Unless you are a goat,
'cause goats can't vote.
vote vote vote,
vote, vote, vote.
Unless you are a candied yam,
'cause candied yams can't vote.

Vote, vote, vote,
vote, vote, vote.
Unless you are a donut,
'cause donuts don't vote.
Vote, vote, vote,
vote, vote, vote.
Unless you are a potted plant,
'cause potted plants don't vote.

Vote, vote, vote,
vote, vote, vote.
Unless you are a fellon,
'cause fellons can't vote.
Vote, vote, vote,
vote, vote, vote.
Unless you are a can of ham,
'cause cans of ham can't vote
