Are You Ready To Vote? The Ace of Spades HQ Voter Checklist

Let me remind everyone that conservative Pat Toomey lost by a fairly thin margin to liberal Arlen Specter (who of course voted to acquit Clinton based on "Scottish law" and also founded the James-Bond-hatin' evil organization SPECTER; I think he also produced some records and shot a whore or something).

After that election, I had quite a few Pennsylvania readers (no names) admit that they hadn't voted. They could have nominated a good conservative for Senator; but they chose to sit on their asses and watch fucking re-runs of Family Matters.

For crying out loud-- VOTE. It doesn't matter if you're in a safe state. There aren't any excuses. I live in New York City, and I myself have exposed myself to the risk of jury duty to actually register my ass for this one.

If I can vote in NYC, there's really no excuse for you not voting.

At any rate, you should not only vote, but you should prepare yourself to vote, just like you were supposed to do before, say, taking the SAT's. To that end, I've compiled the following checklist of things you'll want to lay out for yourself Monday, November 1st, if not earlier.

Voting Checklist:

Correct and verified directions to your actual polling place-- use MapQuest if you're not sure

Comfortable shoes, like sneakers or, say, Hush Puppies, which will give you the confidence to vote straight Evil Republican down the line

Phone numbers and emails of sluggish conservatives you know-- yell at them until they vote

Three number 2 pencils, a gum eraser, and one of those little plastic pencil sharpeners that doesn't ever fucking work anyway and just cuts the tip off your pencil

Pornographic magazines and/or "marital aids," because, as some comic once observed, standing in line can be such a fucking bore

Four six-sided dice, because you never know when some ultra-hot busty blonde is going to ask you to "roll up a character"

Crackers, preferably oyster, but honestly, it's your call

One box of wine spiked with hospital-grade codeine, just in case your wife or girlfriend tells you she's "leaning towards Barbara Boxer;" yeah, she'll be really pissed off that you drugged her, but then, no one comes off codeine in a bad mood, either

A print-out of this picture:

which is Oliver Willis, in case you didn't know; you'll want to look at that picture, and imagine that loathesome jackass giggling like a schoolgirl on November 3rd if Kerry should win

One forged, confusing butterfly ballot to hand out to old people who look like they might be voting for John Kerry (hint: look for buttons reading Arms are made for hugging or some queer Up-With-People shit like that)

Your "lucky voting shirt"

Proper ID, consisting of either a current Driver's ID or Passport, if you live in one of three jurisdictions in America where only American citizens are allowed to vote

One crisp ten (10) dollar bill, which you can discretely slip to a poll-worker as you encourage her to "Keep it honest"

Breath mints-- because there's never a second chance to make a first impression

Plenty of Eukenuba brand dog-treats, for feeding dogs of fellow Republicans as they vote; Eukenuba brand dog treats taste great, and even if they don't, who gives a shit? You're feeding them to fucking dogs, anyway. They've got to taste better than other dog-favorites, like "some other dog's dirty ass" or "my own sweaty dog-balls" or "some nasty liquid I saw on the street and I decided I just had to stick my fucking tongue into"

This MIDI file downloaded into your iPod-- do you really want to hear this fucking song Election Night? I sure the fuck don't.

Ace of Spades brand Male Hygenic Spray, for those not-so-fresh election days

Your very best homemade Star Trek and/or Tron costume, because when you vote, you want to look cool doing so


Well, that's it. Lay out all those items on your couch the day before Election Day.

Courage.

Hell, I live in California, so I know my vote doesn't really count for anything, but I'm voting anyway because it's just gonna feel so effing good.

By the way, good job of scaring the piss out of me with that photo! I literally had to run to the bathroom, where I found that my pubes had turned white. Thanks. But on the plus side, I think I've discovered a new explanation for the Moai statues of Easter Island.

Remind me again, please: you posted a close-up shot of the obnoxious lard 'tard "Rerun" from the old TV sitcom What's Happening with this particular entry because...? :)

Posted by: Kent on October 19, 2004 04:52 AM

That was hysterically funny!!

What to bring since I'm voting absentee?

Posted by: Birkel on October 19, 2004 05:01 AM

Along the lines of "prepare", folks in California really need a list of Propositions handy with which way to vote.

This requires some effort beforehand, which, if you must know, I haven't done yet...So...Do as I say, not as I do (so far).

I would say, "Get Arnie's recom. and follow that". But, I really need to look into the stem cell Prop and see what it entails. And AH-nold is starting to sound a little more RINO, recently. Hey, fUck you. He's still better than Gray Davis.

Posted by: Dear Johns on October 19, 2004 06:21 AM

Dear Johns--

Well, vote you some no on Prop 66 in California. Go check out Patterico.com to find out why. And XRLQ.com as well.

For voting in California--especially NorCal-- you'll need some sort of hippie repellent. Although "hippie" and "repellent" seem redundant, they are not. I prefer one of the fine hippie repellent products made by Colt; your mileage may vary.

I live in a heavily Democratic county. My favorite time to vote is during the primaries. I love going into the polls and asking for a Republican ballot. The poll workers all know me and they give me a look that can only be described as one questioning whether my parents were really married.

It kinda gets me a little excited to know that I irritate them that much.

Posted by: Steve L. on October 19, 2004 08:07 AM

I used to vote on West 97th street in Manhattan. We were always blessed with the presence of Pizza the Hut (Nadler) and the dignified if hapless Carl McCall. And after I left the booth--every single time--a poll worker would walk around to the back of the booth and grab some papers from back there and trash them. Every time.

Of course, I look just like Hoover in Animal House, so I guess it was pretty obvious I wasn't voting the straight Angry Chick Workers ticket.

Bergen County's much better. We can tell the Democrats by their pitiful cars, and we point at them and laugh.

One crisp ten (10) dollar bill, which you can discretely slip to a poll-worker as you encourage her to "Keep it honest"

Especially if you're voting in precinct 19-F in Columbus, OH.(hint- look for the devastatingly handsome dude in a Steeler's jersey)

Posted by: scott on October 19, 2004 09:22 AM

The problem with my Tron costume is that it designed to look "cool" only under a black light, and they have very few black lights at polling places these days.

(If you know what my costume looks like on this description alone, then I count you as my brother.)

Question for Ace: Would a Qui-Gon Jinn outfit be an acceptable substitute? Before you answer, consider the fact that I have one of those light sabers from 1982 that is basically just a flashlight with an inflatable green plastic "blade" on one end.

Posted by: George on October 19, 2004 09:27 AM

Sean, don't you dare think your vote won't count. On election night, when a shocked and stunned Dan Blather announces New Jersey's gone red, killing any hope John Kerry has of ever living in the White House, millions of Californians will leave the line at the polling place and go home in despair. We'll need your vote right then, because it'll be close in California. The only thing sweeter than victory on January 20th will be undeniable victory on November 3rd instead of 34 days later. Dare to believe.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Posted by: Paul Zrimsek on October 19, 2004 10:58 AM

Ace, you have failed to address the absentee ballot issue comprehensively.

For example, both of my dogs are registered to vote and are currently agonizing over their ballots.
They seem to be leaning toward Nader. They suggest he is the furriest of the three candidates. They say his proud snout bespeaks a being of great character; plus they think he may be hiding a tail.

My question; is it voter fraud if I have them put to sleep AFTER we turn in the ballots, but BEFORE the votes are actually counted?

Ace,

I have discovered long hidden information that must be shared. The origins of the beast. The beast otherwise known as Chubby McThunderbuns.

I give thee....the truth.

I guess I wore a lucky shirt yesterday and gave my wife $ to "keep it honest," because yesterday was election day in my house. Oregon's all vote by mail. Mostly R's (there was one who got a "C" from the NRA that I held my nose to vote for, and a few races without an R running), but I have done my civic duty.

And remember Ace, to remind everyone to vote for any right wing initiatives on the ballot, too.

Posted by: hobgoblin on October 19, 2004 11:51 AM

Have you SEEN the shit-fest btw Instapundit/Buzzmachine and that shit-weasel otherwise known as FatBoyWillis? LOL - why do I get the impression that Jeff and Glenn are trying to have a conversation and Willis is just trying to siphon bandwidth - and how the fuck is he getting recognized by Glenn anyway? Seriously.

Posted by: fat kid on October 19, 2004 12:09 PM

Jeez, what a thing to see over your morning coffee. That picture of Oh-Dub should've been below the fold. He looks like one of those freaky Easter Island Moai heads.

Posted by: David Gillies on October 19, 2004 12:22 PM

Goddamn it, Ace, did you really have to post that picture. I was eating breakfast (WAS, being the operative word).

Posted by: Russell Wardlow on October 19, 2004 12:28 PM

Well I live in NYC too, and have no problems voting a straight Evil ticket. I don't know, it just seems right for some reason.

Posted by: Iblis on October 19, 2004 02:59 PM

"some queer "Up With People" button or shit like that" - LOL- That's why I keep coming back for more: you cut all the way to the bone.

@ see-dubya...

Best. Post. Evaah!

Thanks Ace, great checklist!

"Sean, don't you dare think your vote won't count...."

Nobody should think their vote won't count. It matters more then ever! Don't trust the polls; don't be like the people in Florida who went home without voting after the state was falsely called. Don't assume your state will go for Bush without you. We don't just need to win by a legitimite margin... we need to win by enough to overcome the "dead" vote, and as much as possible, neuter the attempts to contest close races.

...And we need to win the popular vote, not just the Electorial College. Because the garbage directed at Bush the last 4 years isn't going to go away; it may get worse. The bigger and more obvious the win the less excuse they will have.

Vote!

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:
