Mike: Yeah, Berkeley is full of bumper sticker activism. Too bad the sticker's on a Ford Expedition, since keeping Tahoe blue involves reducing emissions.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=PEWS&defid=3461590 Post-Election-Withdrawl-Syndrome:
The feeling of general depletion and emptiness in the few days after a presidential election. Caused by the sudden withdrawal of any campaign coverage, sound bites, or pictures of babies being kissed. May be accompanied by aimless clicking on news websites looking for something to read.
*NOTE: This condition has been observed in people whether their chosen candidate won or not. Wife, to her Doctor: "I'm worried about my husband. Ever since the 4th, he's just been sitting at home wandering the New York Times and CNN for hours on end."
Doctor: "I wouldn't worry about it. He probably just has an acute case of PEWS. He should be back on his feet by the end of the week."

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=vote&defid=889241 The best way you have of voicing your opinion in a way that can matter. Nothing's perfect, and there's always going to be mistakes, but there is simply no excuse for not casting a ballot for what you believe in. Take the time to understand the issues and then take the time to vote. Don't let people who aren't going to be around four years from now decide your future. Complaining without voting is worse than any hanging chad. My conscience is clear because I took the time to vote.
Don't worry about rocking the vote, just vote!
