Reminded Of This

Early this morning I voted. Interestingly enough, the last two elections in which I voted (General Election in 2008 and a Virginia Election in 2009), I was waiting to hear what was still residing in my body. Today was different. That was cool.

But, what I was reminded of today was a conversation I had with some folks from Ireland right after the General Election in 2000. As the case was going on in the Supreme Court, I asked them what their thoughts were on the current activity in America.

I thought they summed it up best.

"It's just like an election in Ireland, except you Americans aren't drinking enough whisky!"

Their words, not mine.
