I'm too tired. I don't want to get up early. I don't want to stand in line. My vote won't count. No one will listen. The line will be too long. I don't know who to vote for. Both candidates suck. I have to work. I have class. I have to go to the doctor. I have no gas in my car and gas is too expensive. Half the country isn't going to vote either. No matter who I vote for, the country is screwed. There might be a terrorist attack. I'm scared. I'm angry. I don't want to make waves or rock the boat. I have no idea what they do anyway. They are just figureheads. They are not real. They are good at shaking hands though. What would Jesus do? What would Allah do? What would Buddha do? Nine people are going to chose the president anyway, right? They did last time. I applied to the Electoral College- all I got was a measly rejection letter. My home is 3000 miles away and I can't go home to vote. My ballot will get disqualified. Why can't they e-mail me my ballot. I don't know how to mail an envelope anymore. My dog ate my absentee ballot. I've never much liked elephants or donkeys. My single vote will not change this election. Someone else will vote for me. I don't know where to vote. My pregnant chad gave birth to the wrong candidate. The ballot is too long. My parents don't vote. This is only the evil of two lessers. Traffic jam. Hurricane. Locusts. Server crash. al-Qaeda. Nuclear meltdown. Tornado. Godzilla. The Boston Red Sox. Elevated terror risk. France. Too poor. Too rich. Too weak. Too right. Too wrong. Just too busy...It doesn't matter.

There is no excuse- go vote.

I've voted. Have you?
