Just Jokes…

Americans Voting Early

So far, more than 5 million people have cast their ballots in states where early voting is available. What do you think?

Young ManDoug Ervine,
Campaign Consultant
“I voted early, but it’s only because I have plans on Election Day to terrorize elderly Jewish voters.”

Old WomanNatalie Ashford,
Systems Analyst
“The earlier you go, the crisper the ballot. I love a crisp ballot.”

Old ManCharlie Heater,
Librarian
“Not me. I still have another week to be pandered to, and I’m going to milk it for all it’s worth.”

Photo of the Day

October 27, 2008 by Marc Lamont Hill

Today’s photo of the day shows Jennifer Hudson, whose mother, brother, and nephew were killed in a tragic murder on Friday. It is my sincerest hope that their killer(s) are brought to justice. My heart goes out to Jennifer and her entire family during this time of sorrow and grief.

Video of the Day

October 27, 2008 by Marc Lamont Hill

Today’s video of the day is “Single Ladies” by Beyonce. Although the song is eerily reminiscent of “Get Me Bodied,” it is hot-fire nonetheless.
