23/6 Guide: Voting While Wasted

Everyone deserves to have their voices heard, no matter how slurred those voices may be.

A woman in Albuquerque taking advantage of early voting passed out in the voting booth with a bottle of vodka tucked into her pants. Her ballot will have to be hand-counted since she passed out before casting her vote.

Uh oh. We were afraid of this.

This year's election is like no other. Millions of Americans are having trouble reconciling themselves with the vote they plan to cast, and when Americans have trouble making a decision, they turn to alcohol. Many voters know that Obama is right for the country, but they also know that they're going to have to do about 50 shots before casting their vote for a black man. Conversely, die-hard Republicans and racists who absolutely refuse to vote for Obama even though they fear McCain and Sarah Palin will have to be very lit in order to put their country in harms way.

In short, people are gonna party this election day, and it's gonna get out of hand. If you know that you're going to need to get wasted in order to cast the vote you know is right, you need to do it responsibly. 23/6 is here to help, with this handy guide to drunken voting...

ACORN was not responsible for the actions of a few who were too lazy to actually register real voters and if not for ACORN personnel, those false registrations may not have been discovered until much later. ACORN should be commended for their work, not condemned.

November 4th is my 44th birthday and I'm voting for the 44th President and the first black President on that very day.

I can guarantee I will be drinking that day, but I promise to wait until AFTER I vote to begin my alcohol consumption.

It will be a day to celebrate on so many levels.

Viva la Gin and Tonic and Obama!!!

Is it recommended to vote tripping on acid? Just wondering, cuz I think Billy Mays would make an awesome write in vote.

Good God, get thee to a residential detox center. Stay 6 weeks. Don't go out if you're having a flash back. Use your friends list twice a day & talk meaningfully with your detox sponsor for at least 15 minutes a day. You'll never be cured but you can learn with you condition. It's people, places & things. Keep in contact with recovering people. Thinking that Billy Mays could be anything but a 3d rate schlock meister means that you were having a flash back of a really bad trip. Call your sponsor now. You two can get through this episode. Don't go back to using, please.
But if you do, stay away from blotter acid with a picture of Woody Wood Pecker on it. Hold out for the good shit. C tabs are best.
