This is just too entertaining.

I didn't vote.  I'm a convicted felon and have lost that right.

Just kidding.  I didn't vote because the electoral college and our bipartisan system have ruined the significance of the individual vote.  In a swing state, I would have been all over that ballot.  But I am a resident of Idaho. (I know, I live in Texas.  It's a long story.) And if I were the betting kind, I would bet the entire worth of our bank account that Romney would win Idaho.  He did, and he didn't need my help.

And now the election is almost over.  I know I should go to bed, but these apocalyptic facebook statuses are just too entertaining for me to stop reading.  And just in case you wanted it, or even if you didn't (beause this is my blog and I can post whatever the crap I want), here are my opinions on them.  Enjoy.
-- You know that electoral college that everyone wants to abolish right now?  That same electoral college put Bush in office instead of Gore.  Don't get me wrong; I hate the electoral college too, but I'm pretty sure that all the people who want Romney in office didn't want Al Gore there.  Heaven forbid we elect someone who cares about the environment.
-- There are a lot of people out there claiming that they can't handle another 4 years of Obama.  When I look back over the last 4 years and think of how my life has changed as a direct result of Obama, I come up blank.  I think I can handle another 4.
-- There are also a lot of people claiming, "The Mayans were right, the world is ending." First of all, I ask them to please take a course on archaeology.  If they're still convinced that the Mayans prophecied the end of the world-- well, my faucet is not spouting blood, my children have not tried to murder me since 6:00, when I drop things they still fall to the ground, and Chuck Norris still kicks butt.  So there.
-- For all of you who are threatening to move to Canada, great idea.  I'm sure you'll escape socialism there.
-- If I hear the word "secede" one more time, I'm going to puke. 
-- If you are going to compare Obama to Hitler, be prepared for me to ask you for a list of all the Jews that Obama has killed.

Calm down, everyone.  You should all breathe a sigh of relief knowing that America didn't elect a member of some "crazy cult," which I proudly belong to.
