Okay, rare political post

[gement]

I really hope that you (yes, you. YOU.) are registered to vote. It is embarrassing to me how many people never even bother to register, let alone vote. In voter turnout, America is 35th in the world [cite]. 56% of eligible voters participated in the last presidential election, which means almost half of us didn't vote. This is embarrassing.

Are you registered? Deadline's October 4th. Are you sure? Please check here. If it turns out you're not, that link will also help you fix that.*

I'm not kidding around here.

Anyway, in other news, this video made me laugh out loud at work. I haven't seen so many celebrity cameos since the David Duchovny video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vtHwWReGU0

* Edit: the previous link is paid for by the Obama campaign, but is the user-friendliest I could find and doesn't say anything about how you should vote, just gets you signed up. If you want the non-partisan (as if registration is partisan), more DIY version, try http://www.votersunite.org/info/RegInfo.asp

Oh.

Goody goody.

Roger all of that.

Every bit of it is clear as a bell.

In fact I now feel empowered to attempt my first bit of coding ever.

Depending on skill, the other image; (with the brown star) may soon dissappear.

I still would like to know how to insert a dynamic icon, similar to your own political icon; (but with my own content): I really love it.

That can wait.

Thanx for the friend invitation also, that has been another stumbling block, which it is high time I brokethrough regarding. That'll happen.

Right now I am shutting down for the night.

No apologies neccessary, I regard anger as a healthy dynamic.

Thanx again.

http://wigflip.com/minifesto/ is where I made my icon. No skill required! (I don't have a gif animation program anywhere on my computer.)
