8. I have waited 4 years
To see the expression on Bush's face when he loses the election for a second time.

13. I read the title of your post
Edited on Thu Oct-28-04 02:39 AM by rot0r_head
and was already reaching for the phone before getting to the hope-annihilating truth. I don't quite have it as bad as your triple-header, but I'm scheduled for an uninviting presentation that day. Oh well. Lotsa luck!

15. Vote early, or use the trick I always used...
...Call a professor(s) of the classes you intend to skip, hold you nose shut, and sound like you are on your deathbed. I promise, if you call them, they will not want you to come in. Then go vote! No excuses.

I give my students the day off.

Now I'm thinking.
I love this professor gig.
Could be a plan.
Let me think. I'll get back to you.

18. I think they have all already voted
I stood in line for 30 min yesterday and the crowd was mostly teen and vociferous. If these kids are a sample of nation wide, Bush is toast.
