So there’s a presidential election coming up, and I’m strangely not going to be a part of it. I know I know, I’m a terrible citizen, I should rock the vote, people in other countries would fight (have fought) for such rights, so on and so forth. I must have an excellent reason.

I don’t, but it’s really quite simple.

Once upon a time, I was registered to vote in Houston. Then I moved to Austin, and registered to vote there. I voted for the guy that won, but strangely didn’t make it to office. (I’d like someone to explain that to me, in legal terms, and please be sure to cover the issue of FLORIDA.) Then I moved to San Antonio for 16 months and didn’t change my registration. Then I moved to Houston, started law school, and proceeded to bury my head in the sand to the point that by the time I realized I was still registered in Austin, I was one day past the deadline. Shiat.

Kerry, my man, you’ll have to do without me. You might be able to take Austin. But, unfortunately, the rest of Texas will probably side with the other guy. All of Texas except for his hometown, that is.

This concludes all election coverage you will see on particleman.org, extensive and in-depth though it has been. Tune in in 2008 for a likely similar piece of astounding analysis.
