Politics Buzz Normally voters are screwed by politicians, not each other. Seriously though, between this and the Medvedev Girls, Russian politics are turning into an episode of “Entourage” that has nuclear capabilities.
Politics Buzz I think so. This guy thinks so. Where do you stand? Oh, you probably disagree BECAUSE YOU ARE A SINNER AND THEREFORE YOUR OPINION IS WRONG. I love logic. Hopefully Barack Obama will appoint this dude King of America in his State of the Union Address tonight. (Via Videogum.)
Politics Buzz The midterm elections can be summed up in one word, RED. Republicans have taken majority of the house wiping out Democratic majority of the past 4 years. I guess we should be grateful that one of these changes wasn't a witch. Condolences to Christine O'Donnell.

Looks like the 4chan army is out and at the polls for Dear Leader over at Time's “World's Most Influential” voting site. moot was at #1 earlier today, but by the time I got the screenshot he was holding it down at #4 with an average rating of 73 and a whopping 248,718 votes.

Politics Buzz It turns out that there’s a far superior reason for people getting out to vote on election day, and it doesn’t involve either John McCain or Barack Obama. The fact is, Americans just want their “I voted” stickers! And in what is soon to be known as the greatest fraud of the 2008 election, only some lucky voting locations got the magic stickers! One can only ask, why?!

What it would look like if the world could vote in the presidential election. Also below is a pole taken from over 23,000 people around the world currently casting their vote online. Except for the battleground nation of Azerbaijan, it's really turning out to be quite the landslide in favor of Obama.
Politics Buzz AIGA offers some good advice for election ballot designers. Hopefully this advice will be heeded and we can avoid some of the problems that have plagued our past elections. You’d think it would be obvious that confusing design and language like “Vote For Not More Than One” should be avoided, but apparently not.
