Happy To See McCain Winning this Contest!
I know this is stale-dated but it’s still extremely hilarious. Why didnt I see any of these posters in and around NYC last year? I would have contributed a wad of gum to McCain’s face, for sure.

Obama-inspired Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Flavor: Yes Pecan!
From Good Magazine: In yet another story of an enterprising business rallying around this exciting moment for our republic, the savvy hippies at Ben and Jerry’s have christened a new flavor for this inaugural month: Yes Pecan! (for those of you who need a little extra help: sounds like “Yes we can”). All January long you can waltz into your neighborhood scoop shop and purchase a cone of this limited edition flavor, which consists of “amber waves of buttery ice cream with roasted non-partisan pecans.” Proceeds from the sale of Yes Pecan! go to the Common Cause Education Fund, which encourages citizen participation in our democracy. Connoisseurs will note that Ben and Jerry’s has a long tradition of distilling our shared cultural experience into delicious ice cream flavors: recall Economic Crunch (1987 stock market crash); Rainforest Crunch (to raise awareness of deforestation); and, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Elton John plays in his 50th state!). Yum, tastes like zeitgeist!
Cooler Heads Prevail: Barack Obama is Our Next President!
Thank You, Jesus
Today is, honestly, the happiest day of my life in the past eight years. But it’s kind of hard to gloat (and I feel I really earned the right to gloat) when there are so many long faces here in my office on Wall Street. Geezus, what bunch of Party Poopers! I am relieved however to be able to throw down the gauntlet for a while and give the blog back over to frivolity and cute boys again knowing that our country has been awarded a new lease on life with the election of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Obama Rocks The Vote
I Stand By My Decision
A Guest Blog from Voiceover Actor Charlie Rengel
It’s been a long road leading to Election Day, and I’m confident that I’ve been following the right path towards a new future. I already knew that I would support the Democratic Party. The past 8 years have made me wary of Republicans, knowing that most would put their interests over the country’s. The Democrats had an admirable selection of presidential candidates over the Republicans, being narrowed down to Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. I had originally voted for Hillary Clinton as the nominee, giving in to the suspicions of Barack Obama’s “inexperience.” However, Obama had been gaining ground, and was selected over Clinton.
It was around then that I realized Barack Obama had a clear understanding of the problems facing the country and knew what had to be done. Shortly after the controversial sermon given by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama responded with an intelligent, mature discussion on race-relations. (Jon Stewart from The Daily Show said, “For the first time, a politician talked to [the public] about race like we were adults”). I followed CNN, CNBC and MSNBC as well as the network news, ending the night with The Daily Show and Colbert Report. Whenever Obama spoke, he focused on the main issues and was always direct and sincere. Obama also knows how to choose the right people to assist him, when he selected his running mate Sen. Joe Biden. Biden’s experience in foreign policy alone made him a wise choice. The final months would prove to be an election-year to remember, especially against Republican front-runner Sen. John McCain.

Obamanos!
I really had to post Nicole Betancourt’s cool Latin salsa video, “Respondole a Obama” about the Latino community rallying behind Barack Obama, especially since I was just in a cab on Saturday night with a driver who insisted that Barack Obama would have tough time carrying Florida, “since there is such high Cuban population there, and everybody knows the Cubans hate the Blacks.” I swear to god, the cabby said that right to my face. But I think he was wrong. I think even the haters can put aside their lack of reason to avoid electing another fascist regime to government. Think people. And vote Obama / Biden a week from tomorrow.
