Now, I've played in some terrible, awful, completely shitty bands that couldn't get through a whole song, but I've never been booed. I wish I had a camera on each one of those racist fucks Tuesday night, and cups under their eyes, so that I might collect their sweet, sweet tears and drink them.
Dude, you live in Texas, what did you expect? That's like dressing as a straight guy in San Francisco.

That and white guys dressing up like black guys is always a unpopular thing to do.
Got out to my polling place early to beat the lines. Got my homemade hot out of the oven cinnamon roll and coffee.
.....oh yeah, and I went ahead and voted being that I was already there.

Yeah, I went to a costume party a few months back where the objective was to wear the most offensive costume possible, and I went as Obama. I can't imagine an crowd not being offended at a white guy dressing as Obama (I'm not even particularly fond of Fred Armisen's version of Obama).
That, and going as a presidential candidate for Halloween during an election year is so overdone and lame.

Do you have a job that will let you have the day off, in case the lines get out of hand? If you don't, I'd strongly recommend you rethink your plan, because frankly, if you've got other choices, it's not worth it to wait in line.

I went ahead and voted Friday. I waited about an hour, and used a fancy touchscreen.
Well, based on what I've been hearing on the radio most of the day, I was wrong. Texans voting today have, by and large, had shorter waits and fewer problems than those who voted early. At least, so says NPR.
How long was your wait Friday, Sober? I hear the worst of it so far today has been about half an hour in Houston. It'll probably get longer past 5:00, but doesn't it always?
