Vote. Now.

A friend mentioned what a sad commentary it is that despite all the folks rocking their "I voted" online badges and posting their vote status to their profiles, most Americans don't vote.

I always want to punch those people I overhear or see on the news complaining about needing a stamp (we're all-mail voting here) or that they were too busy.

But judging by the beverage cup, not too busy for a double tall, half-caf, caramel mochiatto apparently. Perhaps that's what's needed to get more people to use their right to vote: drive through voting. At Starbucks.

But I'm sure there would still be some people who would complain that they have to lean out of their car to drop it in the ballot box and that makes their wrist cold. Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
