Some Politics are Local: Shock the Vote, Plus Free Cheesy Fries!

Is this a gathering of Tea Party devotees or ACORN thugs hanging out menacingly in front of this Reston polling place? We're not sure, but this "telephone photo" sent in by an anonymous operative shows the scene of chaos at the polls today, as throngs of people gathered to vote for, whazzit, the neighborhood watch guy with the scary ads or the dude with the name that sounds like a fruit, plus for some "governor" dude whose powers dwarf that of our own unelected DRB. One bit of good news, though, courtesy of the lazy blogger's friend, the Twitters:
FREE Parmesan Fries at The Counter in Reston all day if you wear your "I voted" sticker.
Awesome! Promoting democracy, one strand of polysaturated fat-soaked potato at the time.

    If you haven't cast your well considered ballot, now is the time. Please vote as if your future depends on it. It does. May we all be informed and wise voters.

    Parmesan Fries are good. Freedom Fries are better. I refuse to eat Surrender Monkey Fries, though.

    Oh no!!! I was so happy to have that pleasant elderly gentleman hand me my sticker at Lake Anne Elementary yesterday morning after I voted the high-tech way of filling in bubbles on paper with a pen, but I had no idea I was entitled to free food! Why wasn't that better advertised? Being on my budget it gets kind of tiring skipping meals all the time! (Sniffle, sniffle!)

    Hand sanitizers? Hmmm...that's not a bad idea, considering I'm sick and at work for the third day in a row! :-P
