So I went to vote in Brooklyn this morning. About 7:45, there was a short line; probably waited about 5 minutes. Fort Greene is a mixed neighborhood and the whites tend to lean left (like a palm in a hurricane), so I’m figuring a good showing for Obama. While waiting my turn at the machine, and pondering 9iu11ani and Thompson still on the Repub ballots, an 80 something looking woman enters the booth next to mine. About 2 minutes of perfect silence later she yells from the voting booth: ” Where’s Osama?! I’m looking to vote and don’t see him anywhere!”
Democracy aint pretty.
