Oct. 5, 2004 Just a reminder, John Kerry. Of course, the Democratic Party already knows this and I don't have to remind them. If you've had any friends, or family die lately register them to vote. It's required with the change of address. Look I know this sounds a little creepy and gross not to mention ghoulish, but it's true. Several years after she passed away my wife was still getting voter registration cards. This is despite the fact I have contacted the proper authorities at the courthouse. Several times. Yet, despite this being a small low population rural area, she is still getting voter cards and being called in to do jury duty. She gets mail at this address to this day and she never lived here. We moved here after she died. (My children and I) If she's "living" here I haven't seen her. Unless, of course, that's what's making those strange noises late at night (silly me, I thought it was mice) around the house. Anyway, we need to get out the vote among the dead. (Of course the DNC has already read the Obits and taken care of that.) I know this is special circumstances. The dearly departed can't sign their own names. That's okay. Some really old people in nursing homes (or retirement facilities, assisted living centers, whatever) can't sign their names anymore either, but that doesn't keep it from happening. Make sure you get them down under the name they used in life, though. Sometimes the name they're buried under isn't the one they went by. Hey, I go by my middle name. I can't tell you my first name, or I'd have to kill you. Oh, all right! I wouldn't kill you, but I would make mean faces and call you some really vile names. You wouldn't want to make me mad. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. (Wow, I just had a Bruce Banner moment. At the risk of ticking someone off I'm going to use a Rush phrase: For those of you in Rio Linda, Bruce Banner was the guy who turned into the incredible Hulk.) Look, I gotta go. My wife might be trying to get ahold of me to tell me which way she's voting. I just heard some noise in the kitchen.
