Mr. Hyde's performance of late has been awesome compared to his start as the Republican whipping boy of the Chicago Democrat machine. As our nation's newest celebrity prisoner likes to say: "That's a good thing."

If you're not a citizen stay the designated distance from the polls. Muchos gracius.

I am SERIOUSLY doubting the "tough road" part, but this story otherwise MADE MY DAY. Last presidential election, I decided, belatedly (I'm no youngster), to dip my toes in the poll worker waters, and they up and made me precinct inspector.

Twas not a purdy site with all those prominently-displayed "ya'll-don't-need-no-proof-that-you're-from-this-planet" signs ... especially when the guys wearing Korean Vet hats (amongst others) came up to the table and had to "say their piece/peace."

It's wrong, plain and simple. I couldn't debate and/or encourage ... it was not my position. Also on that day, the local paper featured a political humorist's column which, in part, made reference to the idiocy of poll workers ... volunteers.

I was LUCKY to have as my bilingual contingent a couple of college students, AS my ORIGINAL "bilinguals" spoke little (NO) English beyond "yes" and "no." When I reported it beforehand, I was told it was the result of an "outreach" effort(!) ... FROM WHERE (?) ... OAXACA!!??

I've received my notice, recently, inquiring as to my willingness and/or ability to participate once again. I'm marginally ashamed that I hesitated. OF COURSE, I'll participate! Most likely not as precinct inspector though. :)

This is my personal call to all hesitant prospective FR poll workers. It's a full-on education! DO IT!

The democRATs and the illegals aren't going to like this.
