CNN, The New York Times, and even Fox News have called the Presidential race for Barack Obama.

So the United States is picking a President today. But there are other candidates, and also many ballot measures in play today. A quick round-up: ARIZONA: - Ban same-sex marriage. ARKANSAS: - Ban unmarried couples from adopting or being foster parents.
The line to vote for President and other stuff today might be kind of long. If you get cranky, here's an inspiring story to keep you a little bit sane.
When you were a kid, did you ever make prank calls? Call a bar and ask to speak to Dick Hertz? Dial 867 5309 and ask for Jenny? Or "is your refrigerator running? Well, you'd better go and catch it!" (That last one is way old school, dude.) Some lucky grown-ups actually make a living doing that sort of thing. And Sarah Palin is their latest victim.
This is really ugly.I hope that whomever you happen to be voting for, this isn't something you can condone.
Kim Mance breaks down some of the key points in the Obama and McCain health care plans. I have a few thoughts to add.
Bruce Lansky, described as “North America’s #1 author of baby name books,” has weighed in on the candidates' names. The heck with their policies. Bruce is all about NAMES. And he wants to know: “Whose name is more presidential?”Here are some of Bruce's insights:
Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin gave a speech in Pittsburgh on Friday where she discussed the challenges facing children with special needs.
I was all set to write something about how I didn't really care if Sarah Palin put her children in the public eye. It's part of running for office, especially national office, and hey, this is her job. People rarely complain about men doing it with their kids. Why should it be different for a woman?But then this story about Piper and her (fake) Louis Vuitton bag popped up, and I had a change of heart.
This story from the Hollywood Reporter is making the rounds. It's very odd.According to HR, "as more and more polls cast doubt on the McCain-Palin ticket, producers and agents across the entertainment world are discussing possibilities for capitalizing on her fame, ranging from an Oprah-style syndicated talk show to a Sean Hannity-like perch in cable news or on radio."I suppose I could see a Fox News-style show. But Oprah? Come on.
OMG, what's next? He won't bring me flowers? Will he – NO! – leave the toilet seat up???
This isn't what you think it is. Hint: no cute animals. Full pic after the jump.
It doesn't have anything to do with parenting either, but it is that rare post that you could show to your kids. Click through to see this completely safe for work image.
I'm not a compulsive news watcher, but between the election, the economy, and the war, I can't tear myself away. Every now and then, though, you need to look away. And hey, what could be better than a baby panda?
