Kick the Anthill

Unlike many of my apathetic peers, I’ve always loved and looked forward to Election Day.  In fact, I believe that it should be a national holiday.  There would be no sad excuses about why you didn’t vote (”I had to work,” etc.) — everyone would have the whole day to do it, and maybe even the lines would be shorter at the polling places since you could avoid the rush hours.

However: He-Who-Has-Not-Yet -Been-Crowned, instead of using his Senatorial superpowers to pass measures to make this special day a national holiday, and during a time of economic crisis, is blatantly encouraging workers across the U.S. to do as he does: abandon your posts and play hookey.

Did I mention that this is a time of economic crisis, and this presidential candidate is asking workers to take their own vacation days to worship him and with one week notice, possibly leaving employers in a lurch?

Still planning to cast your vote for him?  Be forewarned that this is a sign of things to come.  You pay so he can play.

You stay classy, Barack Obama.  This party ain’t over yet.

I sure hope they come knocking on my door.  Gonna be more fun than when the Witnesses come for a visit.  Now I’d take off my own vacation time for that.  Look out for the electrified barbed wire fence around the McCain/Palin sign on your way to the front door, Kids.
