Here's a time killer during the SOTU.
In your family, only counting parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles and first cousins, how many voted for Kerry, Bush, Other or didn't vote? For extra credit, count the states they live in.
My results were as follows:
Bush 3
Kerry 23
Not Voting 3
States: 8
Did you call any of your relatives to see or ask if they were voting?
I admit it, I did.
