Can't tell if McCain's appearance as brief as it was on SNL worked or not.

That is the coolest thing I've seen since the election started. It's also cool because it's evidence that someone is actually teaching civics.

Like it, I'm over 30.

So, I'd say that maybe over 45 wouldn't like it....

Unfamiliar with the source song but it's well-done and the kids are cute so it gets a thumbs-up regardless.

It was the first single off T.I.'s newest album that came out a month ago. If you live in the Philly area and turn on 96.5 you are sure to hear it.

I live near NY and avoid terrestrial radio like the plague. Real hip-hop died with the Fat Boys.

NYP's guide to how to watch the election (rundown)

6:00 Indiana polls close. If Obama is close or in the lead it probably indicates other light red states will go Obama.

7:00 If Obama takes FL and VA it's over, go to bed. If McCain win's Florida it might be a long night. If Obama wins SC it might indicate he'll win the entire eastern seaboard.

7:30 If OH and NC are split, the election is still a horserace.

8:00 If McCain wins in NH and PA and wins FL things are looking good for him. This is around the time the vaunted 60 seat majority in the Senate will be evident.

9:00 Rest of the east coast called. If Obama wins PA, NC, and FL it's pretty much a done deal for him. If Obama loses FL, OH will be very important, if he loses both the western states will decide.

10:00 Iowa, if McCain hasn't been slaughtered at this point, could be a deciding factor.

11:00 When Obama wins CA and if it's still a horserace, NM, CO, and NV will be important, McCain would need all three at this point, Obama only needs one.

So I heard today that some Pennsylvania voters may get as many as 3 robocalls today from the McCain people. I don't think anyone likes robocalls. Here's what I put out there--stop robocalls, vote Obama!

The face of a woman who has never had an orgasm.

(Also... Obama 4 Mercedes-Benz?)

He was very, very funny, moreso than any of the cast members. Faint praise though that is.

Al-Qaida supports John McCain. :lol:

anyone see the interview with those kids. They're pretty impressive elementary school students, though I guess that private school education might help.

It's scary when you expect something to be some kind of satirical Onion article, except that it's not, but you don't realize it until halfway through said article

Is it a charter school or a private school?

oh, I'm not sure. I was just going by the uniforms. Maybe it's a charter school. Honestly, I'm not even sure of the exact difference.
