i bought a kerry vote in wisconsin!

i was inspired by the tradition of "f the vote", a hilarious site you should all check out - if you haven't already. it's probably a sham started by some crafty horny guy, but funny all the same:

SEXY LIBERALS OF THE U.S. UNITE in taking back the government from the sexually repressed, right-wing, zealots in control! Everyone knows liberals are hotter than conservatives - we look hotter, we dress hotter, our ideas are hotter, and we are infinitely hotter in the sack. We must use our sexual appeal to our advantage, as one more weapon in our already diverse arsenal. By stripping conservatives out of their clothes, we can also strip them of their power.

At Fuck The Vote we provide a Pledge Sheet that can be used conveniently before becoming physically intimate with a conservative. The Pledge Sheet asks the signee to make a promise to vote for anyone but George Bush in the November election. FTV has not endorsed a single candidate but recommends strategic voting. We also encourage FTV fans to take road trips this summer to swing(er) states to collect pledges. If you collect a pledge let us know about it on the Swinger States page! Have safe fun fucking over Bush while fucking for votes.

now, i think this is a great idea, and might consider it... if every person that i knew and could potentially fuck wasn't already voting for kerry (yes i live in a bubble). i think i might have a hard time fucking anyone stupid enough to vote for bush anyway... but my patriotism (and my sluttiness) run deep!

but that's not how i bought the kerry wisconsin vote.

you see, i have a secret total geek side, which was primarily awakened by my reading a fantasy series called "a song of ice and fire," by george r. r. martin, a year or so ago. the series fucking ROCKS, by the way... i highly recommend them. i wasn't even a fantasy/sci-fi reader until i read these books. anyway, in my geekdom, i met some people on a chat board for these books, and became "IM friends" with a few of them. one guy, who lives in wisconsin, has no interest in politics and was not going to vote.

but he has been after me for months to read "the dark tower" series by stephen king.

so i made a deal with him.

you vote for kerry, i said, and i'll read the entire goddamn 7 book series.

done, said he.

i'm especially happy about this because:

Poll: Bush ahead in Wisconsin

A CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll [conducted october 16-19] indicated Bush had a narrow lead in the battleground state of Wisconsin, which has 10 electoral votes.

i just hope the books don't totally suck...
