13. As for election days

I've always been fond of telling everybody that for the sake of efficiency and to prevent clashes at the polls, only Democrats vote on Tuesday, everyone else should show up on Wednesday.

You wouldn't be surprised at the number of people who get furious at this, but you might be at the number who just shrug and say, "OK." Maybe that's one reason conservatives hate President Obama so much - their own total lack of humor. I was delighted to hear him add this particular slogan at least once last campaign season right after he reminded Democrats to hold to tradition and vote early and often. Of course he chuckled himself and added, "Just joking, folks!"

Didn't make any difference. I heard more than one Chicken Little run around screeching that it proved intent to commit voter fraud. That's a major reason I consider conservatism itself a mental disorder. The American Psychiatric Association really should look into this.
