Eight Ways To Survive The Next Eight Days Without Losing Your Frigging Mind

Cutting yourself won't help him get elected.

Hey there Democrat, just over a week left until election day! Bet you're excited huh?

What's that? You're about to put your own head through a wall? You keep pacing the apartment muttering "yes we can" over and over to yourself? You just carved a backwards "G" into your own cheek and you don't even know what on earth "G" could possibly stand for?

Maybe it stands for "Get a grip."

Look, eight days is a long time and you're not going to help the cause if you get thrown in a mental hospital before you get the chance to vote. You need to hang on! 23/6 is here to help, with eight tips on making it through the next eight days without losing it.

I admit, I'm not handling it well. I went into full panic mode when I realized that it will be over in a week. WTF AM I GOING TO DO NEXT WEDNESDAY? My life is revolving around this election and I've forgotten how to live without snickering at McCain supporters!

I only check DU once a day, Kos 2 or 3 times, and Huffpo about 50 times. I think I'm ok....really!

THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE IT THROUGH THE NEXT EIGHT DAYS...GET ACTIVE! POLITICS IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT!!!

1-Go on barackobama.com and click on volunteer. You can make calls from home, you can go door to door in your own neighborhood.

2-You can also find the address and phone number of your local Obama campaign office and volunteer there.

3-Even if you live in a safe state, like California, you can make phone calls from either the website or a campaign office to states that are still on the fence.

If you watch political TV, you may have heard the phrase "ground game". Well, this is how the ground game is won...with VOLUNTEERS. Don't sit home, get out and help...it'll make the time go WAY faster!

I live in Arizona. I had to call my sister in Chicago to tell her that maybe I really do fit in, after all! And, yes...I got off. Several times.

people should do what i do, drink.

sure it won't stop you from being a complete arrogant political blogger, but you won't remember doing it. And everyone knows the rule is if you don't remember then it never happened...or at the very least you can just drink until Sarah Palin looks do-able again.


:disclaimer:
drink till she's cute election '08 may cause black outs, bar fights with family members and instant liver cancer. In rare cases polar bear hunting and obsessive winking has occurred.

That backwards "G" you carved into your face better stand for "GO VOTE A-HOLE".

Ease one's worry with a hearty wager on John McCain (Disappointingly available at an optimistic +160). Disperse winnings on canned goods, bottled water, and generator.
