Bomb Them All!!! (HI)

We are sitting at a bar, in the airport. He is waiting to go home. I am waiting to start my vacation. We get on the topic of ISIS.

He speaks with the tone of a wise man, one who has all the answers, “I tell you, I know exactly what to do. You want to know what to do about this? You remember what we did to Hitler? Bomb them. Bomb every last one of them. Just like Hitler.”

But I tell him, this enemy is different. “With Hitler, we knew where to find him and all of his soldiers wore the same uniform. These guys are everywhere”.

“I know, can you fucking believe it. They’re in London and Paris. Shit, they’re everywhere”. We gotta stop them, NOW!” Now his voice has a little desperation as he speaks.

“So where do you drop bombs, everywhere?” I ask a little smugly.

“Yea, everywhere. East of the Mississippi. Every fuckingwhere”.

Voting for the first time (MD)

An old man stopped in to the Cecil County Democrats Headquarters and asked if he could register to vote. He told me he was 70 and had never voted before. 

“But I’m going to need some help because I can't hardly read that good”, he tells me a bit ashamed of himself.

I filled out the form for him and I asked him how he wanted to register: Democrat, Green, Republican or Independent.

“I ain’t never voted before. Nope, never did. I don’t know whats I am but I think it’s time I started voting, on account a my son. I lost him in Iraq. I’m voting for him now.”

Someone's Home

Up until a few months ago, someone  lived here.  The old man sat on his porch and waved to people all day.  Right before each election, he would post political signs in front of his porch. I always thought the NO TRESPASSING was unnecessary as I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to step inside and have a look.  I wonder what happened to the old guy.
