The time has come! It is indeed election day. And, alas, the future is not bright. This morning, my father returned from the voting booth and informed us that he had done his best, and voted for the best candidate available--our dog. He wrote in the name of our little Cocker Spaniel, and voted for her. Now, Birdie (the dog) didn't do much campaigning, so we're not sure how far she'll get; but there may be hope yet at the end of this dark political tunnel.
