And I found these...which set the History Major / Political Sci Major part of my brain into overdrive:

Ladies and Gentlemen,

If you are a member of a Party, get out and vote!
You have till 9 P.M. here in NY State. Don't complain later about the people in government if you did nothing about putting them there in the first place. You can't later say "I never wanted so and so in there..." if you didn't vote.


Exercise your right to vote.

His star would probably have been on the rise thanks to The Dark Knight. I suppose that they will dedicate the film to him.
This is very sad.

I was having a glass of milk.
I saw this.
I laughed so hard that milk came out of my nose.

Also this has been leaked from the teaser trailer in front of Cloverfield:

You know what I would like to see? The old process of the runner up to the presidential election becoming the VP. Given the field as it stands now, that would make for an interesting Executive Branch.

Under the original terms of the Constitution, the members of the U.S. Electoral College voted only for office of president rather than for both president and vice president. Each elector was allowed to vote for two people for the top office. The person receiving the greatest number of votes (provided that such a number was a majority of electors) would be president, while the individual who received the next largest number of votes became vice president.
