Well, kinda anyhow. Here's the video of Kanye's performance, definitely high-octane start. I was about ten rows back right in front of the center of his stage and the atmosphere was one of pure enjoyment and celebration. (Although one does have to question the choice of Kanye's mullet. Really, Kanye?)

This is a pretty funny redux of the original Star Wars trilogy.

To anyone who knows me, voter rights are very important to me.  It is the top reason that makes me think that I should go to law school.  The last time I had the urge to fight someone was when they told a volunteer they couldn't register voters where it was totally reasonable to do so.  This is why I have a register to vote widget on this blog.  This is why I was so angry when I heard about this clip, saying young people should not vote:

So it has been almost a month since I last posted, largely due to a promotion for me at work, where I was made IT director and youth vote coordinator at the beginning of August.  I am getting my first day off since I got here tomorrow, so in about 10 minutes I'm leaving to go camping in the Chugach National Forest and go see the Kenai Fjord National Park tomorrow.  Hopefully I'll have time to write more updates or at least post pictures after that.

... but this video combines two great things: America and the muppets: 

"I'm pretty sure she's an alien."- my older sister, in reference to John McCain's second wife.  Second wife?  Yes, read here for some information on his first wife.  Check it out for yourself: Of course, you can read the newsweek article here if you wish, I haven't gotten to it, but my sister's comment was too funny to me not to post.

Almost more important that Hillary's actual speech yesterday, is how the media covers it today in the Sunday papers.

I feel that this makes an appropriate first posting, as it covers two of the major areas that this blog will be covering: politics and me. Last night, Senator Barack Obama gained enough delegates that he has a majority of those available in the Democratic primary process. This coincided with the beginning of the Harvard commencement activities, making yesterday a very good day.
