A Public Service Announcement From A Patriotic Penguin

VOTE.

That's all.

I don't care who you vote for. I hope you'll put a little bit of thought into it, I hope that you know what's at stake when you pull the lever (or punch your punch card, or touch your touch screen, or whatever method is used in your state).

But people have died for this right. People stood in lines for hours in Iraq, in Afghanistan, all around the world, sometimes risking their lives to do so. We should be embarrassed as a nation that the percentage of eligible voters who cast a ballot is higher in Iraq than here.

So go vote.

If you don't, you have no right to bitch about the results.

Unless you live in New York. Or Florida. Or just feel like carping about a certain group of politicians who are trampling on the Constitution.

Thanks for listening. You may now return to your regularly scheduled day.
