I live in Crook County now and I felt like I was a criminal when I asked for a GOP ballot. I was sneared at by the election judge and she ended up screwing up the ballot by not initialing it.

Needless to say, I miss living DuPage County.

I thought it was just me.

I couldn't even get onto FR for about 20 minutes.

Yes, Free Republic is moving very slowly, if at all. And while DuPage Country doesn’t care if you ask for a GOP ballot, it took my husband and I ten full minutes to get through to vote, and we were the first in line (and voted earlier — different day!). We’ve got tooooooo many senior citizens running our polls. And when a youngster is there to help out, they just brush them aside like they are useless “kids” or something. Anyway, we got our two in for Adam and two for Patrick, so that’s all that counts in the end.

Who do you think will cary the gold cup tonight?

[FrdmLvr]

Who was the candidate endorsed by Lech Walesa? How is he doing?

[TitansAFC]

Too early to tell.

If I had to be right.....like my life was on the line......I would guess McKenna and Kirk, sadly.

Go Adam Andrzejewski and Patrick Hughes!!!!

[NormsRevenge]

Slow ain' the word for it.

My connection failed several minutes ago. I said, “OK” to sending a report to Microsoft so that my connection could be “made better” in so many words. I tried the link again and here I am. Something fishy or my away from home location. It really shouldn’t matter once I have a connection.
