The first polls to close around noon, in some district in New Hampshire with 21 registered voters, went to Obama. It was the first time this district voted Democrat since 1968.
Obama won Vermont, McCain Kentucky.
Michigan polls close in 6 minutes, I'm 95% positive Obama will win here.

Probably, knowing how the Kalamazoo Democratic Party works, they are worried about people assuming the election is won and not voting. I know here they are doing all day canvassing until election day to reach every person in the city to encourage people 1) to vote 2) to vote for Obama and other Demo...

I don't have tv! Generally speaking I don't mind, but with the election approaching I'm missing out on everything. I heard about the SNL bit, that it was really great. I'll have to youtube it. With the internet I'm, um, not leeching. Mayor of Kzoo!? Oh lord, I'm outta this town in less than two year...

For the satire? Probably, I can understand people keeping upset about it. I'm not familiar with the situation, so I don't want to comment too much, but I think losing one's employment over satire is a little extreme. But then again, as they say in the film Ridicule , the first rule of witticism is t...

Palin drinking game!
I just got back from a VP debate party, where we all won playing the Sarah Palin drinking game! Take a shot when: She mentions Alaska, being a governor, being a mayor, having executive experience, being a mom, independent energy, clean coal, safe nuclear (ok, Biden was guilty with those two as well)...

Dostoevsky
I'm reread Notes and am in the middle of Crime and Punishment again. I would seriously learn Russian solely to read him. My father's side of the family is Russian, so I grew up around Dostoevsky and Tolstoi and the rest of them, but Dosty has always been my favourite. Though I think I should be mild...

Brief reflection on con-sumerism
I went to the local supermarket yesterday to pick up some things, including eggs (I want to find a local farmer to buy from, but I was desperate). On the left of the shelf are eggs with a big flashy 'ORGANIC' on the package, meaning the hens were fed a vegetarian diet (i.e. natural and healthy), and...

Here are the videos, by the way. The first is 'Smack My Bitch Up' by the British band The Prodigy. The second is 'How Many Licks' by Lil' Kim feat. Sisqo. This videos are provocative, but the point as far as the class is concerned is how sex/gender is presented. <object width="425" height="344"><par...

Arcadia - The complaint, as far I can tell, is that the videos the professor showed in his class were inappropriate. However, the class he taught was Media and the Sexes. The videos he showed were, although offensive, parts of American pop culture and media, and so are highly relevant to his subjec...
