Disheartening Cab Ride
jgh:
Cab Driver: Did you vote for Obama today?
Me: Sure did, did you?
Cab Driver: Nahhh, didn’t register.
Me: Why not?
Cab Driver: Long lines. Didn’t want to spend all day at the polls.
Me: It’s really important that everyone votes.
Cab Driver: Yeah I guess. Obama will win by a landslide.
Me: Well, let’s hope so. You should have voted.
Cab Driver: Out where I live in Rockaway there’s lots of McCain/Palin signs. If you ask me, they’re all idiots.
Me: To be honest, you’re not really entitled to an opinion if you chose not to vote.

(I asked for $12 back in change, he only had $11)
Me: I’ll let you keep that dollar if you promise to vote in the next election.
Cab Driver: Maybe.Did it occur to you that cab drivers work really long shifts and he may not have had time to vote even if he’d registered?
This person should have just given the cabbie the eleven dollars simply because he probably had less than she did. Obama would have wanted it redistributed that way. LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Wake me up when it’s 2012.
Nice one!
Indeed a nice one.
And wow, you gave the cabbie a whole dollar in order to entice (bribe?) him to vote in 4 years? How very generous (ACORN-ish?) of you!
