IMPORTANT ELECTION DAY INFO | DO?S AND DON?TS WHEN YOU GO TO THE POLLS
2008-11-04 05:59:00
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A VALID STATE OR U.S. ISSUED PHOTO ID - Or you may not be allowed to vote. Many Democrats, specifically African-Americans were disenfranchised by shady schemes and turned away at the polls in 2000 (Florida) & 2004 (Ohio) for small infractions. Not having proper ID with you is an old trick that's been used since the Civil Rights movement of the '60's. BE PREPARED THIS TIME. This is way too important an election and the stakes are high. EVERY SINGLE vote will count. We can not have another situation like Bush/Gore in 2000.

INK_BLAST | THE OBAMAS' MARRIAGE IS A MODEL
2008-10-22 15:47:00
As a newlywed, I have spent a lot of time during the presidential campaign observing the Obamas' marriage. And I have come to the conclusion it is the embodiment of a model, modern marriage. To begin with, no one is in anyone's shadow here, even if one is running for president. And they respect each others' accomplishments.

INK_BLAST | SARAH PALIN PROVES FEMINISM WORKED
2008-10-15 17:19:00
Many women are mad that Sarah Palin was chosen as the Republican VP nominee. They are infuriated that, when the country produced a contenter like Hillary Clinton, all the McCain campaign could come up with was Sarah Palin. Even the National Organization of Women, that bastion of all things liberating, broke its own rules and publictly endorsed Barack Obama, just to make sure women voters knew which presidential candidate stood to advance women's rights. The irony in all this is that Palin is actually proof that American feminism worked.

POLITICS AS USUAL | INTERESTING COMPARISON BETWEEN OBAMA & PALIN
2008-10-07 00:26:00
I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight... (I hope I'm not offending anyone) If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.' Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, a quintessential American story. If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim. Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick. Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable. Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

INK_BLAST | EXPLAINING THIS MESS TO MY (FUTURE) KID, ON IM
2008-10-02 07:51:00
As our collective heads spun round and round the last couple of weeks, I have been thinking about how one day, as a parent to a teenager studying American history, I will have to explain what is happening at this moment, both politically and economically. That has left me trying to make sense of a presidential campaign in which one party swiftly set women's lib back about 50 years by choosing as a VP one of the most ill-equipped and ridiculous female politicians to ever be sworn into elected office; thinking about a Republican presidential candidate who stands up and lies to everyone within earshot, again and again; feeling at once elated and emotionally-handcuffed by having the first Black presidential contender who merits the accolades he has received since that fateful Democratic convention speech in Boston, but understanding that he is bound by the social and racial constraints that define his existence as a gifted Black man in this country; thinking about how bad mortgages in ...
