WWBD: What would Brett do?

I hope weird and unsettling things don't come in three...

I woke up this morning a Republican and had my voter registration card stamped Democrat before lunch. The last time I voted for a Democrat was in a 1988 primary in Wisconsin. As a freshly-minted citizen of age living in a suburb with Whitey all around me, I voted for Jesse Jackson and his dubious Rainbow Coalition in the primaries. Unable to stomach itty-bitty Dukakis in the general election, I read the lips of the looking-wiser-than-ever-lately (more on that in another post) George Bush.

Today I voted for Obama. I agree with his ever-present disdain for the everything that is wrong with the Clinton-machine and my America. My vote was not allegiance, more of a layaway payment on some swell boots. I'm giving him 8 months to convince me those boots are a necessity before I come to my Republican senses.

So, if I can survive a day getting stamped Democrat and saluting farewell to my favorite warrior - I guess I can take anything.
