On facebook, one of the billions of applications you can add is called the "superlatives" application. It's one that I hadn't added until I got a notification that I had been "nominated" for something. So, I checked it out. It turns out that despite not having the application, I have been collecting nominations for quite some time now. And, oddly enough, the thing that I have been most nominated for is:
"Most Likely to get Tasered and end up on CNN."
Which, quite frankly, I don't know how to take that. Some of the other ones really amused me. Tommy nominated me for "most likely to turn to Wikipedia for all of lifes answers." He knows me too well. And I was also nominated for "Most likely to pretend to read books to sound smart." That, of course, is how I made it through graduate school.
Today, in my homestate of Kentucky, We had an electon for govenor. I don't like either candidate, which has become a typical reaction for me over the past few elections, regardless of office. But, it seems to get worse and worse. Still, I feel like I should vote for someone. However, I'm fairly sure that I could not decide between these two candidates.
So, I did what many vow to do in this situation: I moved. Okay, so this wasn't the reason I moved. However, today, election day. rather than going to the polls, I went to the driver's license office and made it official: I am now an Iowa resident, and am registered to vote in Iowa. So, I managed to duck out of the Kentucky election. Of course, this is going to bite me in two months when the caucuses roll around and I have to choose between 7-8 unqualified candidates to be our next President (in Kentucky, we had a late primary, so by the time it got to us the nominees already have running mates picked).
But, for now, Ernie Fletcher, Mitch McConnell, Ben Chandler, and Jim Bunning are no longer my problems!!
