Apparently Ringo Starr got it wrong when he sang It Don't Come Easy...

...voting in Illinois sure has!

I mean...

Whatever happened to having to have a little get-up-and-go and make the trek to the County Clerk's Office to register.

Oh, that's right, I forgot...

...you don't have to do that anymore. They already accost you to register to vote when you go down to get your driver's license (something obviously more important to most people.) Guess that's why the letter is from Jesse. (Hmmm...wonder if this is a sting operation...Jesse White trying to find out if I have moved and failed to report my new address to the Secretary of State's office as required by law. Which then, unless I moved somewhere else in my precinct, would disqualify me from voting. Damn, is Big Brother afoot?)

"We, the People", the sooo busy, lazy people of the United States of America.

Oh, well, ain't nuthin' I can do about these new-fangled rules.

A couple of thoughts:

• Will have to say that it disturbed me to note the address...the "Or Current Resident" part. Did we send letters to every damn house (vacant or otherwise) in the State of Illinois? How much postage was spent on sending letters to people who had no intention of voting...the MAJORITY of Illinois citizens if "performance" at past elections is any guide? Sigh...

• And what about the voting dead? Does this give new meaning to the "Forever Stamps"? Should we all be sure to "take them with us" when we die? So many elections, so much time...

Now...

...if they would just give us somebody worth the effort.

Quinn?

Rauner???

Forget Dumb and Dumber...

...Evil and Eviler.
