go vote!

If you're reading this and you haven't voted, go vote! That's right; I, dwain the cynic, am encouraging you to utilize your fairly meaningless right to vote.

For those of you voting in Lexington, KY, here's an FYI from the Lexington Herald-Leader that I did not (could not) make up:

No booze: Alcohol sales, either by-the-drink or in a package, are not allowed while the polls are open. (In KY, we always refer to alcohol as 'booze' or 'firewater.')

Bed bug update: People voting at the Ballard-Griffith Towers Apartments in Lexington should not be concerned about the bedbugs that have infested more than 300 units at the complex, according to city officials. The voting room has been chemically treated, all furniture removed and the carpet steam cleaned to remove any possibility of infestation. Voters who do not live in the complex are asked to enter the precinct from the outside door that leads directly to the voting room instead of entering through the building lobby. (Wow.)
