“This victory alone is not the change we seek,” Barack Obama told us in his acceptance speech. “It is only the chance for us to make that change.”

Congratulations again, President-Elect Obama. With this victory, with this speech, you give me such pride and make me so happy and excited. What a night this has been.
It’s over.
Barack Obama is our next president.
How great is that? And how cool is this image?
I don’t know who composed it, but I found it at Jeff Wells’ site.
I’m so happy right now.
It’s an exciting night to be a Democrat.
Hell, it’s an exciting night to be an American.
I’m so happy the election results have gone Obama’s way. It’s so damned exciting. So now, as a preamble to Obama’s acceptance speech, here’s a musical tribute to his accomplishment, courtesy of Seal.
You know I think voting is a big deal if I wake up an hour earlier than usual to do it.
I mean, I’m a guy who hits snooze for more than an hour every day before he finally gets out of bed.
But that’s exactly what I did this morning, waking up at 6:30 just so I could get to the polling place on time to cast my ballot for Barack Obama. Continue reading
Just a few hours left until Election Day (and until this blog goes back to being a politics-free zone). As this whole season comes in for a landing, why not relive some of the highlights at this site, which recaps the whole thing — from Hillary’s pantsuits to the prank call. The URL is ThisFuckingElection.com (really). Even if you’re offended by the Web address, the site is worth a look. Enjoy.
Not even the Canadians like Sarah Palin. Have you heard about the prank that two Montreal DJs did to Palin? They called her and told her it was French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and she totally bought it. (Yes, this really happened.) People, this is who you want to be your vice president, or maybe even the actual president one day? Now that the election is just about a day away, it’s time to get a clue. Listen to this and just feel embarrassed — for her and for America.
If you haven’t heard yet, Bruce Springsteen has posted a free song for Halloween on his Web site. It’s a bluesy riff called “A Night with the Jersey Devil” and you can download it right here. There’s also a video that you can watch at BruceSpringsteen.net. Enjoy, and again, happy halloween!
Happy Halloween! Thought I’d post Tracy Morgan’s “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah” (from 30 Rock) in honor of the day. Enjoy!
Some really bad news for Barack Obama: The Alien has endorsed John McCain. This, according to the Weekly World News, which also reports that “In a last ditch effort to help her husband’s failing campaign, Cindy McCain seduced and then blackmailed the Alien for his endorsement.” The story continues, “Ms. McCain’s alien-like good looks and natural blood temperature of 54 degrees Fahrenheit may have proved too much for [the Alien] to resist as she reportedly put her cyborg husband into sleep mode and worked her charms.”
The Alien had thrown his support behind Obama earlier this year, but I guess he’s changed his mind. All kidding aside, it’s worth noting that the Alien has correctly predicted the winning president in every election for the past 28 years. Don’t worry, Barack. You still have my vote.
Barack Obama chats with Jon Stewart. Enjoy.
