D-Bags?

Today on my lunch break I called the voter registration offices in Wisconsin to see what the deal is with absentee ballots these days. I sat on a bench in Madison Square Park next to a burly fellow with a white goatee. I scrambled for a pen when the man on the phone told me the website I needed to access, and the friendly gent gave me a pen from his pocket. After I had gotten off the phone and returned the pen, the man told me a few things, un-prompted, but interesting nonetheless. He said, "You know, I would prefer Obama over McCain if I had to choose but I used to be a paramedic, and I always say I would never let either of those douche-bags into my ambulance." I chuckled and nodded, "Alright, understandable." He said, "I'm voting for none of the above, or I should say none of the below if you don't mind my rhetoric." Sometimes, I get really excited for November 4th to be over.
