Here in America, we vote for all kinds of things: presidents, state representatives, senators, judges, mayors, council men (or council persons), sheriffs and deputies (Andy of Mayberry and Barney Fife), jailer, county clerk, state vegetable inspector, the home school homework police, water fountain patrol coordinator … okay, I made the last few up. But with ballot initiatives like endangered species status for possums, it can take 10 minutes just to get through the ballot.
So this year I’m voting for Donny Welch, City Commissioner of Nicholasville. No, actually, I’m not. Why? Because I can’t vote. I am only a Resident Alien. Which means I can pay taxes, hand out Donny Welch flyers door to door, tell my neighbors about what a good guy Donny Welch is … but I can’t vote.
So, for all you bona fide, real Americans: get out and vote!! Earn the right to complain about the government that gets elected. Vote for somebody. Vote for anybody. Vote twice to cover for me not being able to vote. Line up, register, and put your x beside whoever you like. Just do it. Vote!
By the way … can anyone tell me who in the world Donny Welch is?
… just thinkling.
… just thinkling.

I like this blog - you make me smile ... isn't it nice to be able to rant and not have to actually take the responsibility for what happens? M
If I have time after church I have a story to share. :-)
Let's just say I'm glad you can't vote. Just kidding of course.
