Obomney 2012

If you haven’t yet (and you’re 18), GO VOTE. I hopped in line at 6:50 am this morning with the rest of the early-morning crowd… lets just say it was not exactly a cheery crew. Stressed out commuters shifted from left foot to right faster than a three year old in line for the potty,Continue reading “Obomney 2012”
