There are so many reasons it is good to be an American today and I celebrated by doing some many American things today.

I did the following:

1. I voted
2. I got a free cup of coffee from Starbucks for voting (even though it is illegal for Starbucks to do so: http://www.kirotv.com/news/17885256/detail.html)
3. I supported Nuclear energy by drinking the most burnt roasted coffee I have ever tasted
4. I filled my coffee cup with the greatest American potable liquid: half-and-half (which took the burning twinge away)
5. I burned my tongue on that coffee and thought about suing Starbucks
6. I wasted a ton of time at work talking about the election with my coworkers
7. I wasted my entire lunch hour searching for a website that had any precincts reporting
8. I plan on getting more handouts by getting a free smoothie from Smoothie King after showing my "I Voted" sticker (which is also illegal)
9. I plan on gluing myself to network TV coverage watching pundit, pollsters, and primetime journalists offer their conjecture over each state-by-state race.
