Did you hear about the dead goldfish that was sent voter registration materials? Princess Nudelman, late of Illinois, received registration materials in the mail.
Back in the dark ages, when I registered, it needed to be done in person, at Town Hall-- and I needed to produce a sealed copy of my birth certificate to prove that I was a citizen.
My daughter turned 18 a few weeks ago. In September, she received a form in the mail, filled it out and mailed it in. A few days before her birthday she received a confirmation back in the mail that she was now a registered voter in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts -- no evidence required.
The Nudelman family chose not to attempt to register Princess to vote--after all, as the Daily News noted
"The only "agent of change" Princess ever supported was the person who freshened the water in her fishbowl."
...But you have to wonder how many "Princess Nudelmans" did wind up registering?
Sometimes we get mail for Loki from the vet's office. It actually comes addressed to him, but if he was asked to register to vote, I'd probaly die laughing. He can't even decide where he wants to go poddy most of the time. How can he be expected to make an informed, political decision? Seriously!
