Ralph Nader, the consumer advocate turned professional political sideshow, was interviewed by Fox News on Election Night and asked about this statement he'd made earlier on a radio show:
"To put it very simply, he [Barack Obama] is our first African American president, or he will be. And we wish him well. But his choice, basically, is whether he is going to be Uncle Sam for the people of this country or Uncle Tom for the giant corporations."
Surely, you'd like to believe that Nader could have made his point without using a racial slur, wouldn't you? Or is he just a relic of days gone by and doesn't realize how stupid his statement was?
It is now time for Nader to slink away and live the remainder of his life out of the public lime light. What a sad way for someone who was a crusader, of sorts, to go out.

By the Way...
...good riddance Elizabeth Dole. I was pleased to see her voted out after she went out of her way to accuse her Democratic challenger of hanging out with atheists. True, the challenger denied it and distanced herself from atheism, but it was good to see that such stupid "attacks" did her no good.
Office of the President-Elect
It looks like Barack Obama will utilize social media and networking as part of his administration, not just his campaign. Check out the "Office of the President Elect" at www.change.gov.

The Onion's Election Map
The election map put together by the folks at The Onion is actually quite amusing. Take a minute to click on over and view it here.
My favorite part is "the forbidden zone."

Undecided?
David Sedaris has an excellent piece in the New Yorker on undecided voters. You really ought to read it...
I found it to be hilarious, but then again I am a long-time Sedaris reader and fan.

A 13 Point Lead and I Still Wonder...
...what the Republicans will do to steal this election. Hope I'm wrong...
Here is the link to the story about the 13 point lead in the polls: Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is trouncing Sen. John McCain in the latest CBS/NY Times poll -- by a margin of 13 percent. This is three percent more than the Gallup poll released Saturday, in which Obama took the largest Gallup lead ever over McCain.
"With two days left until the presidential election, Barack Obama continues to lead John McCain by 13 points among likely voters, 54 percent to 41 percent," CBS writes. "The margin in the new poll, released Sunday, is identical to that in a CBS News poll released Saturday."
The number of undecideds are dwindling, the poll found.

Clueless Sarah
Two Canadian DJs prank Sarah Palin...
Y'know, I can understand being faked out a bit in the beginning, but after a minute or so only a clueless person would think that the person on the other end of the phone was still Sarkozy.
