Congratulations to all those that "voted for change." The Onion always has a great spin on things. Wonkette is especially funny today as well. And CNN got a little freaky last night with their hologram craziness."According to exit polls, Obama crushed McCain among women voters (56 percent to 43 percent); voters under 30 (66 percent to 32 percent); African-American voters (95 percent to 4 percent); Latino voters (66 percent to 32 percent); first-time voters (68 percent to 31 percent); and voters making less than $100,000 a year (55 percent to 43 percent)."

Round 3: Presidential debate. I learned from the "elite media" this morning that both candidates requested their personal air conditioner units to be above their heads so as to counteract the sweat that could show on their faces. They also asked to get exact replicas of the water glasses they'll be holding in the debate in order to avoid it slipping out of their hands later. That's worse than the rock band riders.In the less frustrating category, we have Creepy and Magnetic Morning at the Caledonia tonight, Birds & Wire at the 40 Watt, Quiet Hooves and some out-of-towners at the Farm, and Ryan Hetrick and company at Flicker.
Just saw this from the Kindercore folks:
Come watch the final Obama/McCain debate on the huge projection screen at the GO Bar this Wednesday! There will be McCain bingo, ObamaRad shirts for sale (all profits go to the Obama campaign!) and as many drinks as your little body can handle! After the debate there will be dancing with DJ Fluid Karma and live music from The Matt Kurz One, Jordan & Enoch! Party starts at 8 • Debate starts at 9 • Music until 2

Halloween is going to suck this year (click to enlarge).
And speaking of the economy, here's a nifty table that compares how much you will pay in taxes under McCain and Obama.

Don't forget to check Wonkette for the always hilarious play-by-play of the debates. This time the drinking game was based around the word "maverick."
Here’s what happened last night, in case you missed all the Action because you chose to plan your drinking game around every time Palin said the word “maverick,” in which case you probably died around 9:15 PM.

There's a Louisiana state representative who is advocating a plan to sterilize poor people and offer rich people tax incentives to pro-create.
Worried that welfare costs are rising as the number of taxpayers declines, state Rep. John LaBruzzo, R-Metairie, said Tuesday he is studying a plan to pay poor women $1,000 to have their Fallopian tubes tied.On a completely unrelated note, he represents David Duke's old district.
It also could include tax incentives for college-educated, higher-income people to have more children, he said.

- Forbes has a list of their top rock and roll venues. Yes, Forbes. Anyway, the two Georgia venues mentioned are the EARL and Eddie's Attic.
- Things Younger Than McCain provides a good laugh.
- If you remember our discussion on here the other day about Guitar Hero songs, this article may interest you. It seems the Smashing Pumpkins are releasing their next single via the game.
- More on the show being filmed in Athens for BET.

No better place to turn to for the play-by-play of the Democratic National Convention than Wonkette. Last night's lowdown is no exception.
9:39 PM — And now Brokaw’s just going on with a sad list of terrible things — wars without end, economic collapse, national decline, etc. Why does he hate America?

"After looking in every tube on the internets, we found that there are very few options to A) get rad-looking and inexpensive Obama t-shirts and B) connect a solid monetary high-five to Barack Obama.
We think our shirts are awesome, and we hope you do too. But, the best thing about these shirts is that we’re donating 25% to help Obama win the election in November. Not 25% of the profit, mind you, but 25% of whatever you decide to spend. In essence, if you buy a $10 shirt, you’ve helped us donate $2.50. If you buy a $12 shirt, you’ve helped us donate $3.00. If you buy $1256.38 worth of shirts, you’ve helped us donate $314.10... You get the idea."

This is a quick clip. Is the question really THAT awkward? Ha.

Pretty funny not only in its guide to non-comments, but also in its perfect morning show mock-up. Also, while the story isn't as funny, the main headline this week is great... "Bush Tours America To Survey Damage Caused By His Disastrous Presidency." (Which reminds me of my favorite Wonkette comment of the last couple of weeks: "Why do muskrats hate America?")

I was walking to work the other day and noticed a University Union flyer saying that Valerie Plame Wilson (you know, the CIA lady who was outed by the Bush Administration because her husband said that their intelligence was wrong... or something like that) will be speaking at UGA on April 16th. Thought that was kinda cool - and as no one tipped me off about the big Classic Center to-do with all the former secretaries of state the other day, figured I'd give everyone the heads up. More info here.

(I think we can all relate.)
Finally, I'm absolutely sure that Wonkette's Larry Craig coverage will peak today after the interview last night.

"I bet you if I was armed she wouldn't have said no."
"You wanna refigure that tab?!?"
Ah, Nugent. If you don't like it, you can kiss his glock:

I really couldn't help but laugh when I saw the MySpace homepage yesterday. Try to ignore the trisected (through the magic of screen capturing) Hillary Duff and check out the "Cool New People". (I've since realized that they're putting all the candidates who have pages up there now, but this particular juxtaposition - as opposed to say a business casual Obama with a Jamie Kennedy ad - really works well...) And yes, it's a real page. Why didn't he put "swinger"? It's funny.
