    Default Absentee Ballot

    Just wanted to let all of you know that I voted from my hospital bed on Thursday, by absentee ballot, for the January 19, 2010, Massachusetts special election for US Senate.

    I never stop b*tching about Congress, and I wasn't about to let a little surgery stop me from casting my vote in THIS contest..

    A while back, I predicted that this election would be close and would likely be a bell weather for things to come. Well, dammit, my vote counts, and I made dern sure I got it in.

    I'm proud of you, little yankee buddy. In your morphine haze, you probably voted for Foghorn Leghorn, but that's OK.....you voted, and we're proud of you! LOL

    Glad you voted. This could turn out to be more important than the contests in November.

    Honestly wasn't sure if I were skating on thin ice or not, but always glad to learn of alternative ways of expressing my POV.

    OK...two things.

    1. Ken and I have pretty much agreed about politics, law, etc., etc., from the beggining. (As crazy as that sounds.)

    2. I was just being nice to Ken, for a while, 'cuz I didn't want to kick him while he was down.

    3. If you keep talking mean to me, you're gonna make me cry!

    OK....so that was three things.

    Not meaning to speak for Ken but...
    You're gonna make him feel worse by being nice.
    It should be biddness as usual, that's the only way for him to get his mojo back.
