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.

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.

If I have a letter from John Le Carre, do I still need ID?

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.

Posted by: dano on October 19, 2004 03:19 PM

@ see-dubya...

Best. Post. Evaah!

Thanks Ace, great checklist!

Posted by: Joshua Chamberlain on October 20, 2004 04:04 PM

"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!

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.
