And it started--

9:30 am - I'm watching the news channel and a blurb comes across the bottom of the screen: "Columbus Ohio: reports of broken voting machines and people turning away from the polling places. Virginia: reports of malfunctioning machines and ballot boxes."

THESE ARE THE KEY STATES, PEOPLE!!!! Does anyone besides me remember the 2000 or 2004 elections and the states that were in question? It's only a matter of time before Florida comes into the fray. And I frankly can't survive 37 days (as it was in 2004) before knowing the 'results.'

OK: Now on the same channel, the newscaster says, "And a record breaking day of voter turnout, no major problems are being reported." YOU JUST REPORTED IT ON YOUR OWN CHANNEL!!!!! This is not a minor story!!! Jesus! This merits immediate investigation and reports warning us that our country is in the process of being swindled once again.

I'm going to vote right now and I've got my phone in one hand and a list of phone numbers in the other.

And a note to the conservatives out there: Are you sure you don't want gun control? Because I'm getting to that point where you don't want me to be able to bear arms -
