I Voted
I just got back from voting. My polling place is inside a resident’s garage on a suburban street in the San Fernando Valley. I arrived around 9:30 AM and the place was humming with activity, but not crowded. I only had to wait about a minute to vote.
I overheard one of the poll workers say that Tony Danza and Scott Baio also vote at my polling station. Of course, this made my morning. It was everything I could do not to turn to the poll worker and say, “You know, as Danza votes, so votes Scott Baio. Then once you’ve locked in the Baio vote, the Willie Aames vote falls nicely into place.”

Well, I don’t have Baio, but they guy who plays ‘George’ on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ was at my polling place in Santa Monica reminding people to vote NO on prop 8. (VOTE NO, PEOPLE!!). It was so LA, but good for him for putting his name to a good cause. Took me nearly 2 hours to vote, maybe I should move to the Valley….

“You know, as Danza votes, so votes Scott Baio. Then once you’ve locked in the Baio vote, the Willie Aames vote falls nicely into place.”
I can see that as the new CW of our time: As the cast of “Charles in Charge” goes, so goes the nation.
Don’t forget to pick up your free Starbucks today. If you need me, I’ll be over here strutting around my office like Ric Flair.
