Folks really need to get their shit together. While chatting with a co-worker, this dude walks up with one of these inane “Vote or Die” t-shirts on. I look at him and laugh. “What’s so funny?” he asks. “What’s the deal with those damn shirts? It’s like a death threat. ‘Vote or get capped.’” “Naw man…this election is important, son! It’s like…it’s crazy, son! We need to vote!” “Yeah, I know. Are you going to vote?” He pumps the chest of his T-shirt. “No doubt!” “Are you registered to vote?” “Registered?” “Yeah…you have to register with your state to vote…they send you a little card in the mail once you’ve been registered and you present it at the poll.” “Poll?” “Yes…the place where you go vote. Here’s what the card looks like.” Me and about 4 other co-workers pulled out our white cards. He stuttered and stammered before jogging back to his desk. Please, please, please make your voice heard and get out and vote. Because if you ain’t registered by now, ain’t no t-shirt gonna help you. Filed under: Miscellaneous and Work Comments: Comments Off

So funny and so sad.

OK, I’m crying over here. That is easily the funniest (and saddest) thing I’ve read today. Despite the design on my site I’m not flossing the Puffy mantra. It’s in response to the original B!X slogan from back in 2000. I’m surprise Mr. Combs hasn’t caught more slack for using the political slogan.

Vote, otherwise you’ll be killed by a bunch of people who arn’t educated about the issues and yet still cast a vote because it’s the “cool” thing to do this year.
I 110% agree that everyone needs to get out and vote..but only if they are aware of the issues. Otherwise, stay home Nov 2nd and leave the voting to the responsable adults.

I agree – this whole Vote or Die thing is over the top. Funny thing is, if you ask the new “recruits” about any candidates outside of Bush v. Kerry, they get that crazy-dumb look on their face like they just swallowed a bug: Which Senator/Congressman/local office politician are you gonna vote for? Response: (In best Scooby Doo impression)>> “I ‘ron ‘ro :|”

Your company is just a magnet for idiots.

That story just confirms what I’ve been thinking all along about all the kids on campus here wearing that shirt.
In the immortal words of Florida Evans…
Damn, Damn, Damn!

the Vote or Die thong is the real deal, you don’t rate unless you have one….on, that is.

Ok, I’m so twisted now!! That’s possibly the saddest thing I’ve heard in quite some time. I hate those Vote or Die shirts too. I’m increasingly sorry Karsh, that you’re surrounded by idiots.
Don’t be sorry…it makes for great blog fodder!

What’s the Matter with America?
Please go pick up What’s the Matter with Kansas?: How Conservatives Won the Heart of America. Please look at this website about the “War on Terror.” (Please notice the sarcasm of my quotation marks here.) Like j.brotherlove, I’m not surprised…
