Oh who am I kidding, I do too.

In a frightening vision of the future, it appears that <em>my personal apathy</em> could end up being the deciding factor in the upcoming political election.  </p>

<p>You've seen this done with church signs and parking tickets, but check out this particular manifestation of the personalization meme.  I'm guessing that many of you will want to send it to friends and family. Hopefully at least 51% of you.</p>]]>
