We’ve done our fair share joking at the expense of my pops. I mean, when you are *age omitted* years old rockin’ a RMF tee, you deserve a to get put on blast.
But here’s the real deal with David Dennis, Sr. — he was a Civil Rights soldier. I’m not gonna go on and on about it but just say this — When it comes to the Civil Rights movement, the man was on the front lines. He was an integral part of the Freedom Summer of ’64, a head officer of CORE in Mississippi and the last person to see Medgar Evars before he passed. He’s lost close friends in the battle to get folks to vote in the 60’s. Seeing as how tomorrow is king of a big deal, I decided to give my dad a call.
Me: Hello
Dad: Hey, you ready for tomorrow?!
Me: Meh. I think I’m gonna sit this one out.
Dad: (Silence)
Me: Yea, the lines are too long and it’s cold up north. I’m gonna chill. I think Obama got it.
Dad: …you what? You better get out there! What you mean you not voting?
Me: Naw, I’m just joking I-
Dad: This the most important goddamn election going unless, what, YOU gonna run?
Me: Haha…I was joking I-
Dad: Polls open at 6:30. I’ll call you in the morning to make sure you get there on time.
I got off the phone hoping he realized it was a joke and didn’t write me out of the will. Nevertheless, Poppa D has spoken. If you ain’t runnin, you might as well vote.

@ David, your props gets much props. Keep that tradition going pimp. Power to the people.
Full respect.
Obviously there’s one choice better than the other, but if you take issue with your limited choices (word to Dead Prez – PolitriKKKs [take note of that, if you haven't]) keep the “third-party” line in mind tomorrow.
If (when) you are in the booth, pull for your vote on a lower line (if it is there), there’s a vote threshold these parties have to make to stay on the ballot. Long story short, even if you don’t roll with the WFP, if your candidate is on that line and a major it is worth it if you want to at least help maintain the illusion we are not “just” a two-party nation.
The third-party line can be used in other ways as well, for instance, if a candidate is on the Right to Life line, that’s an automatic, 100%, no chance you get my vote.
So, get it done tomorrow.
Enjoy for a minute of two…
and then remember the fight has only just begun, if you got involved in following politics with this election, try to keep an ear/eye on it, nothing will get done without the demands of the constituency.
“iz da foaf uh dah munnnf”
Aight, lemme try to do my part too. I’m working the polls tomorrow. Worked em during the primary. To make it easy on everyone, don’t go crazy if the people working there say you have to vote provisionally. Some people might have to if they’ve been inactive voters or something like that. Just accept it and do it. Please.
That’s the only reason lines would be long other than high voter turnout. When we had to tell people they had to vote provisionally, they’d get pissed at us and slow the whole process down.
go poppa D!
I’m throwing a shit fit right now. My absentee ballot hasn’t fucking come yet. It’s a conspiracy I tell you.
On a side note, I saw Ralph Nader speak today. Came to my school. I don’t really know why but I thought, “It’s Ralph Nader. I have to go see this guy. He’s a legend.” I’m pretty impressed. Straight talking no bullshit dude.
If I get a provisional ballot I’m gonna be pissed the fuck you mean just take it and walk. You vote won’t count but here take this and fill it out anyway, fuck outta here with that bullshit. Can give a fuck if this is my first time voting. I can already see some fucked up shit already going down.
yeh word, he’s relentless spirit has me considering becoming an independent after this election. lol Nader is that dude..just not the face of the white house..yet.
And don’t go vote drunk neither. You might vote for the wrong guy.
I think you should call your Pops and make sure he knew you were joking, cause in my house you would have taking a punch in the chest.. if… that was the only hit you got.
HELP! does anybody here watch HBO’s Entourage?? on sundays episodes, during the ending credits, they played an Outkast track, my phone says its “da art of storytellin” but i cant find the track that sounds like it, can someone find out what the track is called? por favor
^You have the song right, there is Pt. I and Pt. II, get each, wait up, the fuck are you doing not having Aquemini?

Provisional ballots do count Aron. Those precincts that report late are the ones with a lot of provisionals. The machines can print out their results right when the polls close.
Don’t believe the bullshit.
And as far as that goes, I’m only speaking for Howard County, MD. Haven’t seen other counties/states. But I’m guessing it’s not too far off of us.
the rest is cool, but,
“Bad news” very good song !!!!!
“Amazing ft jeezy” best track on tha album !!!!
fuckin’ really dope !!!
”See U in my nightmare” aka The collaboration between !!! (forget barry bonds.)
