Early Voting

Today I mail my early voting ballot, which has been marked for John Kerry, Russ Feingold, Tammy Baldwin, and various candidates for local office the most interesting of which were for City Clerk and State Senator. I also got to check out this ballot initiative, and decided to vote "yes" since the most likely site, Warner Park, isn't exactly a great nature preserve.

Even in races I don't care much about, I get a fulfilling thrill from voting. Call it secular communion.
