Remember to vote, or P. Diddy will kill you
Published by Becky S November 2nd, 2004 in newsy
These past few months have been great. I’m sure that fellow influential bloggers, single female voters, and swing state residents will agree that lots of people have been vying for our attention. Alas, as of today, we are no longer in the spotlight.
Men. You rock their vote, and they never call again.
PS I stole the title of this post from The Onion’s election guide (via Dave the Lunabomber).

you’re lucky to live in a swing state. we get no love whatsoever in DC. P. Diddy wouldn’t even spit on us, much less kill us.
I do feel pretty lucky–it’s fun to be courted (except for all the ads). Yeah, DC. You guys get no love and no representation.
VOTE OR DIE!!
I think that sums up my feelings pretty well.
Becky, you mean you actually enjoy getting 18 phone messages in 2 days from Bill, Ed, and Viggo? While waiting in line today I was asked by a woman with a clipboard if move on had contacted me, what is my name? My skepticism was apparent. She then told me (she should have led with this), that if I provide my name, she will cross me off as having voted, and they won’t call me (for the 4th to 10th time) later today to remind me to vote. I asked her if she had a wireless device to record this information instantly into a database. I’m sure I’ll have plenty more messages today. How many trees have been killed on behalf of this election? And for the billions they’ve spent on the campaign, couldn’t they have sprung for some working voting equipment?
I am not a fan of the VOTE OR DIE campaign. Our country is pretty much founded on the premise that people have some freedom of choice. We may disagree with those who don’t exercise their right to vote, but what are ya gonna do? Gentle reminders ok. VOTE OR DIE? Not ok.
Sassy, my number is unlisted, so I haven’t gotten one political call. Only Viggo knows the number.
And I know they mean well, but by nature, I’m skeptical of the MoveOn volunteers or anyone else who wants to know where I’ve been or what I’ve done or what I’m planning to do.
I was all set to give the MoveOn person my privacy spiel, but she already knew my name anyway. Drat these neighborhood MoveOn volunteers! Also, the ones at my polling place did not give out cookies. I heard that some volunteers were making cookies.
Ha ha–I got a referral from a Fox News search…someone looking for info on the Philadelphia voting scandal. Probably looking for more on the Drudge story but no doubt ended up on the pierogie post.
Heh!
I was actually being sarcastic, but you probably didn’t get the joke. I was on long car ride this weekend and we kept making these Vote Or Die jokes. My friend Amanda, who was in the car, said she wasn’t allowed to vote today because she hasn’t voted in 5 years and was placed on inactive status. I informed that Justins, a restaurant owned by PDiddy thats by her house, had a bunch of Vote or Die! signs in front of it.. and she had better be careful when she comes home because PDiddy will be on the lookout for her.
Oops! I didn’t pick up on the sarcasm, though I should’ve known better. Apologies, apologies.
I hope your friend escapes the wrath of P. Diddy.
