Breaking News: Barack Obama Has a Name

POSTED BY: CubbyChaser

Here's a fresh question from CNN for people following the 2008 presidential election to wrap their heads around...

Forget the issues, forget the personalities, forget everything about U.S. politics. The most important question about the 2008 election may be this: Can a man named Barack Hussein Obama be elected president?

The page doesn't seem to have a date on it, but according to the Google News homepage, it was posted by CNN about an hour ago. And the author of the piece is named Jonathan Mann -- not Rip Van Winkle or my dad -- so I have no idea what the hell is going on.

Later in the article, Mann makes this very thoughtful observation...

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001 set off a war on terror against Muslim extremists, the US has been grappling with its feelings about Islam as well.

Whoa! Consider my mind blown.

I checked and checked and checked, but could find no information on what color the sky is or how President Bush pronounces "nuclear." But I'll keep my eyes firmly planted on CNN and report back what I discover.

One more thing... If I had a dollar for every time I heard Obama referred to as "Black Democratic Candidate" I could fund the Iraqi war and set the price of gas. As a show of balanced reporting, I ask that you refer to John McCain as "The White Republican Candidate" the next 1682 times. If you want to fast track things, you can also refer to him as "The 72 year old white guy running for President" 841 times instead.

Boulder Colorado - Home to the Elusive Nudie Protest Biker

Some people see gas prices going up as an excuse to strip down. But just because you're angry about the high cost of gasoline doesn't give you an excuse to show your hide...does it?

These Boulder Coloradans, unfortunately, think so.

LiveBlog - The Clinton Concession

POSTED BY: TheInDecider

1:17 - Well, that's it.

What comes next?

1:15 - I'm impressed.

1:13 - This is surreal. Watching Hillary Clinton throwing so much support behind Obama. I feel like I'm dreaming.

1:12 - "Every moment wasted looking back, keeps us from going forward."

1:09 - "That glass ceiling has about 18 million cracks in it, and it's shining through with light."

1:07 - She's speaking specifically to her female supporters now, for whom this is probably almost as difficult a day.

But, you know what, it's pretty fucking awesome that almost through with this bullshit no women/no minority glass ceiling in politics.

I don't even know why this is an issue still.

1:04 - "We must help elect Barack Obama president." If you say it enough times, maybe you'll start believing it.

1:03 - Now it's just getting ridiculous. All of a sudden she can't stop endorsing Obama every three seconds.

1:02 - "I am standing with Senator Obama to say 'Yes We Can!'"

Can you believe that? She's stealing his lines now.

12:58 - "This has been a tough fight, but the Democratic Party is a family."

I hope it's not like my family. I'd hate to see someone throw a pot at Obama's face at the convention.

12:57 - You can just see the frustration on her face as she mouths the words. This must be very painful for her.

12:56 - Wow. She's saying nice things about Obama. And the crowd is actually cheering.

12:55 - She just said it. "We have to do all we can to help elect Barack Obama the next
