On Election Day I was almost to the door of the polling place when I was approached by two men. One I recognized as a local politician. After the obligatory "How are ya?" I gave my usual response of, "I need a woman and a lot of money." Then one of the guys said, "Vote for Obama and you'll get all the women and money you want," (and assorted other gibberish). What!

In the first place, electioneering is illegal within several hundred feet of a polling place. Then I thought there are five possibilities. Either this guy's pathetic jokes are told with a straight face, or he thinks I just arrived on this planet, or he just arrived on this planet, or he thinks I'm stupid enough to believe his lies, or he's so stupid he believes his own lies.

The election proved once again that 90 percent of Democrats will vote for anyone with the Democratic label, no matter how quickly and surely they destroyed the country.
