Crownover sent me this Will.I.Am video for Obama yesterday, starring a random assortment of people talking over the homeboy's speech. It's a little, you know, easy, I guess, but it stirred me up anyway, because I suppose I'm easy in that way, myself. Anyway, evidently Claire's boyfriend from the first season of Six Feet Under is still around, and Ashley from the Fresh Prince. And Scarlett Johanssen. And a bunch of white dudes I don't know. Who's the bald dude with the guitar? I know I've seen him somewhere (probably fronting a band). And was that Michael from Lost?

Speaking of Lost, here is an astoundingly in-depth theory on, uh, Lost. I really wish they'd talk about that foot some more.

Bands that will perhaps rock in '08, courtesy AllMusic.

That entire first paragraph was reminding you to get out there and vote today, by the way.

Pitchers and catchers in nine days! In the meantime, be prepared to be fined for calling them the Devil Rays instead of the Rays. (Hilarious .pdf there from the Tampa Bay front office.)

Yes. YES. Let the Arrested Development movie happen.

Fun list of geeky pop-culture fandoms - "geekier than Monty Python," evidently. I would add “indie-rock obsession” to this list, even though I guess I can kind of be accused of that, myself. Although not really, anymore. And I had forgotten than an African tribe named JackO their king. That's just nuts. But a good reason to post this Super Bowl Halftime performance by Michael Jackson, since we were talking about it during the game the other night.

Dear God, that intro is even better than I remember. I remembered him appearing on top of the JumboTron, but I forgot there were *two* of him on JumboTrons. And then he just stands there for like a minute and a half. Brilliant. And the early-90s backup dancers in faux-military outfits. Man, that was a thing, huh? Truly, JackO is the Barbaro of Entertainers.

Alright, guys, remember: Vote. And throw some beads, I guess.

2.0 -- Tuesday, February 5 2008, 07:53 am

In the interest of making sure Barack wins I just thought I would mention that all the democratic primaries are proportional. That is to say that Barack, even if it seems that he won't win your state will win a proportional number of delegates.

Unlike the general election, every vote counts.

You all knew that anyway...right. Sorry.

The number one most searched word in the NY Times is "Obama."

Hillary is third behind Bush.

I'd like to vote, especially here in Missouri, but I'm sicker than a democrat reading the President's new budget and it's suppose to snow like 8" today here. I think 2" is already on the ground.

Thank god my sister left me jumbo size containers of cocoa before she fled for Florida.

I would have thought Mena would have divorced Billy much sooner, like a month or two after the honeymoon.

hey j -- that's not the sign off I was promised... :)

One of my coworkers was lamenting the feeling that he had betrayed Hillary earlier today.

FUCK YES.

In peace,

Ok, Miyaa, but as my roommate in freshman year of college told me: "If you ain't trying to vote, I ain't trying to hear you complain!" Man that girl was hilarious.

My fourth-grade teacher told us the story of how her grandmother, who had marched for the right to vote even before women could vote, insisted on being taken to the polls well into her nineties. One year the old lady even called an ambulance to take her to the polling station and back, so she'd be sure not to miss voting. Man oh man.

Since I am under-employed I am going out to stump for Barack. I hear there's a staging area on 8th between 12th and 13th. If any of you Slopers are interested (post work even) give me a call and I will let you know more information.

A lot of voters are making there decision in the booth. It's worth a try, no?

any prelim info on the returns???? i can't find anything. am i too early and eager???

also, not sure about an arrested movie. i love it the way it is and was

There's usually not that early of stuff on the primaries, skitters, but there's rolling coverage here;

From the Times,

"If Mr. Obama wins California, that is a real momentum blocker for Mrs. Clinton: There are few states in the country that are more identified with the Clinton presidency than this one."

Huh? Really?

ugh! i just want to know how we're doing! didn't iowa results come in really fast... oh wait. i was watching those at night.

We just got into arrested development - my little bro gave us the dvds of season 1 - my goodness i don't know the last show I laughed this much at. it's fantastic.
