Congratulations to Barack Obama for becoming the next President of the United States!! CNN is reporting that he has won California, giving him the edge needed to break 270 electoral votes.  Virginia has also gone to Obama, giving Barack 297 electoral votes in total so far.

The 44th President of the United States will also be the first Black President of the United States.  Look for Obama to make his speech in Chicago tonight.

Today’s turning out to be as exciting as we expected.  Every website we go to has the word “vote” written atleast one million times.  Google’s also gone Voter-friendly with today’s headline logo.  I wonder who capital G is voting for?

Hollywood speaks.

When you’re done, send it to 5 friends and tell them to send it to 5 of their friends.

End of the day, all that matters is that you vote.

“Don’t vote.  Things are fine just the way they are.  Take a look around.  Our world needs a change.  You can be that change.  Vote.  And encourage others to vote.  Grab a poster.  Print it.  Spread the word.  ”

Watch the animations after the jump.

With a week left until the presidential election, it’s important everyone go out and vote and have their voices heard.  This is the most important election for our generation, the generations before us, and the generations that are yet to come.

Everyone has their own opinions on who should be the next President of the United States and we’re not here to pick a side.  Not in this post atleast.  Head over to onevote08.org to learn more about both candidates so that you can make an educated decision on who you think should lead this country.

It’s been eight long years since we last saw the “wassup” boys from Budweiser make an appearance.  Well, they’re back and with full force.  They’ve released a two-minute clip that shows how their lives are affected by the declining economy and everything else.  It doesn’t stop them from staying true to what matters.

Check the clip after the jump.

A new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll suggests that the American public is blaming Republicans for the current financial slumps the economy’s facing.  This has lead to an increase in Barack Obama’s edge over John McCain in other polls. Forty-seven percent of registered voters surveyed blame Republicans compared to twenty-four percent say Democrats are at fault.

This is leading to a 5-point lead by Senator Obama over Senator McCain in overall polls, and the gap’s been widened in the past week.  Forty-nine percent of those questioned say Obama would display good judgment in an economic crisis, 6 points higher than the number who said the same about McCain. And Obama has a 10 point lead over McCain on the question of who would better handle the economy overall.

Wow.  what a moron.  So just some back-end info if you didn’t already know.  Sarah Palin’s yahoo email account got “hacked” last week and we told you all about it.  Well, the footsteps of the little crawler who got into her account have been traced to David Kernell.

The FBI raided a party being held in the on-campus residence of the University of Tennessee student.

According to witnesses, Kernell reportedly fled the scene when agents arrived but that of course didn’t stop them from photographing his residence and collecting evidence. Kernell and his three roommates have been subpoenaed to appear in court in Chattanooga later this week, though no formal charges have been filed.

This kid happens to be the son of Mike Kernell, a Democratic State rep for Tennessee.  Way to go, Davy boy.

He’s obviously not that smart.  First and foremost, he didn’t hack into the account.  All he did was use personal information of Palin like date of birth and zipcode to reset the password to “popcorn.”

He posted the password along with screen shots to a public forum where others used the information to access Palin’s account as well. The user name of the person who originally posted this information, “rubico”, also happens to be included in a yahoo email address used by David Kernell. In addition (and as suggested by San Fransisco blogger Dan Goodin), the proxy URL found in screen shots of Palin’s email account was eventually traced to an IP belonging to Pavlov Media, the ISP that provides internet access to the dormitory in which Kernell resides.

So he did alot apparently to get the email information out there, but he didn’t really cover his tracks.  He should know better than to mess with government officials from his own computer.  We’re wondering if daddy will run to bail him out on this one.
