early obama jokes

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

this site has a few early obama jokes.  my favorite:

“Vice President Dick Cheney’s wife, Lynne Cheney, said that Barack Obama and Dick Cheney are related. She said they are actually eighth cousins. … Lynne Cheney says that Obama and Dick Cheney’s connection was the result of one of Obama’s ancestors marrying one of Cheney’s ancestors in 1650. Even more interesting, you know who introduced them
in 1650? Bob Dole.” –Jay Leno

top searches on election day

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

google tracked the top searches on election day and analyzed them in blog post.  from the post:

As polls closed and the presidential race was called after 11 pm EST for [president obama], people searched for outcomes on state races of interest, such as [al franken senate race], [massachusetts question 2], and [proposition 8] in California.

in case you don’t know, massachusetts question 2 pertained to the decriminalization of a small amount of pot and california’s prop 8 pertained to a ban on gay marriage.

does anyone else think it’s wicked funny that google thought ma’s pot question this important?
