I saw the ad the other night. Free cup of coffee for anyone who has voted.

I've heard Ben & Jerry's is doing the same thing 'cept with ice cream.

Who else is giving away free food? List it here. Maybe we can all run around tomorrow and at least have a good meal.

Oh let's all stand in LONG lines tomorrow. First to vote, then for free coffee and ice cream.

Nope. It's brilliant marketing. How many people are going to grab something to go along with that coffee? Don't delude yourself for a minute that Starbucks really cares if you get out and vote. But we might as well enjoy the free coffee while we're at it.

Don't be a party pooper!

Oh, sorry, forgot that your guy is going to lose (big time ); maybe you can drink it off your mind at 'happy' hour. Enjoy!

I agree, that's capitalism, not socialism!

Krispy Kreme is Socialist too.

I heard a rumor Chick-fil-a is giving away free sandwiches to voters. That's Marxist.

Not sure if these sex toys are edible!

Joining a host of firms rewarding US voters, a sex-toy chain is giving out self-pleasuring devices to customers who have stopped at the polls, MSNBC reports. Men get “Maverick” sleeves: “He’s always there to lend a hand, he works for every man, and he bucks the status quo.” Women can take home “Silver Bullet” vibrators, “a great stress-reliever during these troubled economic times!” The Babeland chain, with outlets in New York, Los Angeles, and Seattle, is happy to donate to Democrats and Republicans alike. “Sex crosses party lines,” says a rep.

Free sex toys — and much more — for voting - Decision '08

No standing in long lines for me! I'll be at the polls at 6 when they open. Maybe I will get some free coffee and a doughnut (Krispy Kreme) but I'll go through the drivethrough. I bet if I go as soon as I get done voting I won't have a long line there, either! Then I'll get to work and work fast as I can to get done so I can watch the election returns. I hope that coffee puts me in high gear!
