Distracted by the Popcorn

I voted already. So stop mailing me postcards, Obama.

Early voting is a wonderful invention. Stop by the mall, fill out the ballot and you're done. The libertarian party is back on the ballot in NC this year. They have a few wackos running for the local races, though. This year they did *not* mark the incumbents on the ballot... I wonder if that is a trend to prevent people from voting against incumbents.

I wish more people realized that there are more choices than GOP or Democrats. Oh well. I've resigned to the fact that nothing will really change no matter who is elected.

After we left the polls we wandered around the mall and found an invention even better than early voting: The POP-N-GO popcorn machine. You put in a dollar and it makes popcorn for you, then puts butter on it if you want. You add the salt yourself to your liking, too. Now that Target has raised their price on the Popcorn&Coke meal* to $1.50, this is the best deal out there.

* It used to be a dollar. Popcorn was $.99 and the "meal" was $1.00.
Me: I'd like a popcorn, please.
Target guy: Would you like to add a soda for one cent?
Me: Um, ok.

So go out and vote for fresh popcorn. It'll distract you from the politicians taking all your money.
