Everyone is happy. Good.

Now the million dollar question:

Did you register an unregistered voter today?

No?

5. Let's not pick at scabbed wounds - it still hurts.
It's bad enough Michael Moore put me on Larry King without asking me:



Rest assured, I will be at Obama's inauguration and I will demand my pony. I'm going to name it Cinnamon.

4. Pig in shit is an insult to pigs
Actually they need mud to cool their bodies. Who ever came up with that saying
never hung around pigs on a farm.

Good news anyway.

12. I started a few days ago just hitting up my pigs, er, friends
And its astounding how many people ARE NOT registered. All you have to do is ask. And then help them fill out the form. If it's your friend, they're probably going to vote like you do! It's win win. It's simple. It's free.

But you might have to take them to the voting station.

6. Pig in a Poke is even a worse term
Pig-in-a-poke is an idiom that refers to a confidence trick originating in the Late Middle Ages, when meat was scarce but apparently rats and cats were not.

The scheme entailed the sale of a "suckling pig" in a "poke" (bag). The wriggling bag actually contained a cat—not particularly prized as a source of meat—that was sold unopened to the victim.

A common colloquial expression in the English language, to "buy a pig in a poke," is to make a risky purchase without inspecting the item beforehand. The phrase can also be applied to accepting an idea or plan without a full understanding of its basis. Similar expressions exist in other languages, most of them meaning to buy a cat in a bag, with some exceptions:

15. For the next month
I'm going to be a broken record.

Besides donating money to Obama and the DNC, this is one of the few things you can do that will actually EFFECT THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION!!!

18. Pigs in Space! (let's launch her there)
A pork-barrel in every pot!

Keep your earmarks to the ground!

Little pork-barrels have big earmarks!

Bores in blankets!

And all that stuff.
