Don't fuck with Grandma!
Today, I decided to take a break away from my law school studies to visit my grandma. She's 75 years old, a Jehovah's Witness, and she lived in the Deep South through Jim Crow. She never missed a presidential election post Voting Rights Act(or any local or state election for that matter) until she became a Jehovah's Witness...

... until TODAY!

I walked through the door, and there was Grandma watching CNN's interview with Sarah Palin, and the crap that Palin was spewing pissed her off so much that she's actually voting this year, for Obama, and ALL of the down ticket Democratic races.

Thankfully, I had one of my handy Absentee by Mail forms for her to fill out. She's mailing it off tomorrow and I'll be back at Grandma's Friday to help her fill out her ballot.

Caribou Barbie, meet Grandma! The "non-tax paying, socialist, social security/Medicaire receiving" voter you don't want to fuck with!

1. I did not think witnesses voted. My JW relatives do not.
Good for your Grandma!

5. I think that is the beauty of the story
They don't vote but evidently Palin pissed her off enough for her to vote. . .LOL
