Well, Obama won. No huge surprise there.

 

A bit more surprising was Yale's reaction. Upon learning of his impending victory, Yalies went wild, flooding courtyards. One obviously inebriated student was heard yelling "Vom fo...

The big day is quickly approaching, so make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to vote and read up on the local issues as well. Now FSU and its politically active studen...

The Official Election Night Drinking Game: Our University of Florida Editor's Take

The Official Election Night Drinking Game: Our University of Florida Editor's Take

After months of polls, debates and SNL sketches, the historic 2008 election is now just a weekend away. A new president signifies a lot of things for our country, and for college students, it signifies another opportunity to get piss drunk.

 

The election night drinking game is simple and guaranteed to keep you drinking for hours. And if this is...

Trick or Treat: Colbert Says McCain Campaign One Big Prank

Trick or Treat: Colbert Says McCain Campaign One Big Prank

I'm not usually big into Colbert, but his bit last night about McCain's campaign being an elaborate prank on the pundits is pretty hysterical. And it sums up the way that about 90% of the real Republican party is feeling right now.

Kids Choir Channel's T.I. "You Can Vote However You Like"

Kids Choir Channel's T.I. "You Can Vote However You Like"

A bunch of black kids, (and one poor rhythmless white kid) put together a rap about the election so good, it warranted its own half hour special on CNN. Seriously. 

 

The kids are from Ron Clark Academy and someone talented on staff rewrote the lyrics to T.I.'s Whatever You Like, changing the message from "I'll get you anything you want includin...

UCI Professor Calls Economic Crisis "Worse Than It Was in the 1930s," Experts Liken Current Situation to Great Depression

After years of avoiding using the word recession, many Americans now wonder if the unhealthy American economy might soon be tipped into a second Great Depression. Such questioning is not just scare-tactic rhetoric from the politicos; like the Great Depression, the current crisis has been caused by the exploitation of credit and excessive specula...

If McCain Started Buying Ad Space in Video Games Too

If McCain Started Buying Ad Space in Video Games Too

The Obama ads I created a few days ago, got a pretty big response, so I wanted to see what it would be like if McCain decided to jump on the bandwagon of in-game ads. But as expected, he's a little bit behind the times.

Obama, McCain Get Big Laughs at Alfred E. Smith Dinner, Worth Watching

Obama, McCain Get Big Laughs at Alfred E. Smith Dinner, Worth Watching

Last night the two presidential candidates roasted each other at the Alfred E. Smith dinner in NYC. After a fairly contentious debate on Wednesday, you would think two candidates making fun of each other would be a bit awkward.


Actually, not at all.


Actually, it’s one of the most honest moments I’ve seen in this whole campaign.

New Really Important Survey Shows Obama More Doable Than McCain

New Really Important Survey Shows Obama More Doable Than McCain

FastLife, the internet dating website, just released a poll showing the various dateability of the two presidential candidates. If your first thought is, “Wow, this isn’t even fair,” you were right. I can’t name one doable 72 year old outside of Hugh Hefner, and I’m guessing you can’t either. So how skewed were the results towards Obama? Check o...

"Drill Baby, Drill!" The T-Shirt That Offended John McCain

"Drill Baby, Drill!" The T-Shirt That Offended John McCain

During the third and final presidential debate, John McCain and Barack Obama pulled no punches.

 

Both candidates went on a all-out offensive, raising endless questions about each other’s political records, personal characters and smearing tactics. Obama accused McCain of sullying the presidential campaign with racist remarks, while McCain slamm...

MyDebates.org is MySpace for Debates

MyDebates.org is MySpace for Debates

I’m not sure how I feel about MyDebates.org. It’s MySpace’s way of trying to get its users involved in the political process, which is commendable, but then again it’s MySpace, so I’m always skeptical of anything they do.


Fortunately the site is designed much better than MySpace, and its user interface is silky smooth. Yes, it’s one of the most...

Tonight is the final showdown. During the third presidential debate, held at Hofstra University, John McCain will get his last chance to topple the all-mighty Barack Obama. McCain hasn’t been able to do it in the last two debates, but watch out, he’s a maverick, he could do anything.

Stock Market Continues to Plunge Meaning What For College Students?

This morning I woke up, had a nice breakfast and sat down at my computer to begin work for the day. At this point the breakfast in my stomach was still feeling good, I felt alive with plenty of energy and I didn't have a care in the world. That was true until I went NewYorkTimes.com and saw a graph that any college kid could understand; lines pl...

New Gallup Poll Gives Obama Massive 11% Lead Over McCain

New Gallup Poll Gives Obama Massive 11% Lead Over McCain

Guess the Notre Dame mock  election was exactly right.


The latest Gallup poll must be making Barack Obama crack that wide smile of his, and his opponent, John McCain, clench his teeth into a grimace to end all grimaces. Gallup puts Obama at 52% while McCain has tumbled down to 41% after a week of financial disaster and poor debate showings. Man...

Obama Mocked by Notre Dame Students and Wins Election!

Well not yet, but Barack Obama did win the Mock Election held on Notre Dame's campus. A total of 2,692 undergraduate students participated in the vote which resulted in 52.6% for Barack Obama & Joe Biden opposed to 41.1% John McCain & ”Dont-Ya-Kno” Palin.

  

Obviously, this is a small poll of college students, but this poll may be a more accura...

Ohio Blogger Captures McCain Supporters Publically Calling Obama a "Terrorist," Questioning His "Bloodlines"

This is the most disturbing election video I’ve seen since CNN showed some redneck saying that “The only black I’ve ever seen with change had a cup in his hand.” This video was taken by a liberal Ohio blogger who went to a McCain-Palin rally to see if the supporters actually believed that Barack Obama is a terrorist. Some quotes:

Obama Takes Shot at McCain With "Fundamentals" Ad

Obama Takes Shot at McCain With "Fundamentals" Ad

Over the past couple of months, John McCain has released several mudslinging ads slamming his political archenemy Barack Obama. In one particular video, McCain called the Harvard/Columbia alumnus “the world’s biggest celebrity,” implying he is unfit to lead a nation, and in another, he took him to task on his now-legendary “lipstick” comment.
