Nonvoter Knew It Would Turn Out This Way

[madinmaryland]

TAMPA BAY, FL—Mike Geyer, 38, a self-proclaimed nonvoter, told friends and colleagues Wednesday that his decision not to cast a ballot like an active participant in a free democratic society was justified by the predictable outcome of the 2010 midterm elections. "I told you," said Geyer, who didn't vote in 2008 because the country "would never elect a black president" and who has opted to mute his own voice in the electoral process rather than risk having his vote canceled out by someone with an opposing view. "It's not like what's-his-face had a chance, anyway." Geyer added that he might vote in 2012 if the new online voting application for masturbators improves its interface.

4. Smug, self-aggrandizing SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY.

You predict reality and then set about creating it in your behaviors.

7. Psst...

It's from the Onion, but yes, I believed it at first too.

9. Yeah, I noticed, but I DO experience people proudly saying exactly that kind of shit.

I was too distracted with something else to edit and now I don't care.
