That sticker will (or would have) got you a free cone at Ben&Jerry's.

I can't watch! it's too nerve-wracking!

Apparently, Krispy Kreme and Starbucks were offering free goodies with the sticker as well, along with the car wash down the street from my shop.

Close,

The township garage. btw Pete was #0001. Our ballot receipts will make pretty cool momentos.

It's interesting how folks IRL are a little funny about asking straight up who we voted for. A woman from Trinidad that I work with finally just asked. It was worth the election cycle just to see her joyful smile.

Feed, Bait, and LATTES. It's the twenty-first century. :p

Can you get a carpuccino there as well?

I had a few minutes' wait in the A-G line. The other letters of the alphabet had no lines.

But Happy Monkey begins with an "H" and Monkey begins with an "M"?

I voted and didn't actually research what Michigan had as proposals on (I figured I would just wing it) and when I read it...wholly shit, legalizing med. pot and stem cell research....pretty serious stuff...and...they passed (hurrah! - in my opinion)! Then, on cnn I looked up other states proposals and wow, there are some crazy things States try to pass.

Yep Calif outlawed Gay marriage. Of all the states to put it in their constitution. Calif would have been the last state I would have suspected.

Urbane Guerrilla · 11-08-2008, 10:10 PM

The effort by the Prop 8 crowd against gay marriage wanted to make it harder to remove from the law of the land by writing it into the State Constitution, rather than as a state law that got overturned some while back.

But constitutional amendments can be repealed, too. And whether this is actually going to get in is already under contention in three different lawsuits, one testing the legality of a State Constitutional Amendment not crafted by the State Legislature. This is going to simmer for some time yet.
