YES! DIE, DST, DIE!
I knew there was a reason I voted for that man.

Several of my pals had their sites rated by Typealyzer. I fed it the URLs of all my Wordpress sites, and apparently I am an ISTJ twice, and once each an ESFP, ESFS, INTJ, and INTP.

subtitle (or excerpt)
I got in line about 15 minutes before the polls opened, I was maybe 80th or so in line. Before they split the line by precints*, it was stretching all the way in front of the school, and around and down the block. It was my first Arlington election, but people who’d lived there […]
