X MARKS THE SPOT--
Be sure and make your mark on a ballot this November!

Another strange Hill Woman Cryptic brought to you by the Troll,
for no rational reason other than his compulsion to construct them.

  This puzzle is fairly nice, and  is more
  or less about voting.  It doesn't take one
  side or the other. But if the word that 
  immediately springs to mind when you hear
  the name Bush is uproot, then you might get
  a kick out of the Troll's Bonus puzzle, BUSHED.
  Warning! Clicking the following link
  will take you to an exceedingly anti-Bush
  puzzle! DO NOT check it out if
  you find such sentiments offensive!!

Sure, I'll try BUSHED
