This is just something pointless and short that came into my head and I thought I should write about. So please review!
And a side note I am working on Fear, it's just taking a while, sorry. But don't hold it against this story! Please review!
It was an unusually slow day at the prescient, giving everyone a day to catch up on their paperwork.
"Hey El?" Olivia asked suddenly.
"Yeah Liv?" He said looking up from his paperwork.
"Who are you voting for?" She asked curiously.
"They say it's supposed to be a secret, you're not supposed to tell," He said.
"I don't care. I don't see what the big deal is about telling or asking people."
Elliot nodded in response.
"So?" She said impatiently.
He sighed "I think I'm going McCain," He answered.
She stared at him, her mouth wide open, mocking shock.
"What? Don't tell me you're for Obama," He said.
"Are you kidding? Of course! If McCain wins, the economy will be even worse! It'll be just like another Bush!"
"I actually voted for him."
She gasped, "And I thought I knew you!"
They both laughed.
"Obama isn't going to make it through the first year," Elliot said.
"And why's that?"
"Because he is going to be assassinated! Then we'll be stuck with Biden."
"Elliot, he is not going to be assassinated!"
"Yes he will, and for the obvious reasons. One, he's black, and as sad as it is there are still people that are scared of a black president. And two, because he is Muslim!"
"Is not!"
"Olivia, he is a terrorist! We are going to condemn our own country."
"And if McCain wins, he'll die of a heart attack and then Sarah Palin will be president, then we really will be doomed,"
"Oh! And why is that?"
"Because she is a bag of crazy flakes!"
They both had to laugh at Olivia's last statement.
"It doesn't matter anyway," John chimed in.
"What are you talking about now?" Elliot said.
"I'm talking about how our votes don't even matter. Whoever wins the electoral votes wins. It doesn't matter what the people think, it's all about congress. You know the government is just trying to-"
"Drop it," Olivia said, "I don't wanna hear it," She said smiling.
"You brought it up," Elliot said.
"And now I'm dropping it. If I'd known John was back from lunch, I wouldn't have mentioned politics or the government. I know better than to mumble it within a mile of him."
"Hey!" John exclaimed, pretending to be offended.
They all laughed.
After a few minutes of silence Olivia said quietly, "McCain looks like a frog."
"Obama's ears are so big, Mike Tyson could make a meal out of them," Elliot retorted quickly.
They chuckled and got on with their paperwork. Nothing like a friendly debate.
If I managed to piss anyone off... I don't care. Ha ha, Please drop me a comment. No flames necessary. I myself am for Obama, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
But please please review!
