Just so you know, Paris Hilton exercised her right to vote yesterday and used it as another opportunity for a photo shoot. She put on her most conservative dress and headed to the polling place where she was greeted by paparazzi. She quickly left, however, after she couldn’t figure out how to work the pen and paper, becoming confused by the ancient relics. “Can’t I vote by Blackberry?,” she asked. Luckily, two police officers were there to tase her before she became any more belligerent.

CNN and every other media outlet has called it. Barack Obama has earned more than enough votes to pass the 270-vote threshold to defeat John McCain and become the next president of the United States of America. The writing was on the wall when Barack took Ohio and it’s only a matter of time before it becomes official. I’m watching CNN and they… whoa, wait a minute, Obama is black?!

Just kidding. Congrats to Obama. And to John McCain, chin up. You’ll get them next time or something.

Oh and John McCain just conceded. So now it is official.

A string of famous people including Dustin Hoffman, Tobey Maguire, Ashton Kutcher, Natalie Portman, Leonardo DiCaprio and Halley Berry take part in a five minute PSA urging you to register and vote. They begin by telling you not to vote (whaaaa?!), but then you quickly realize that this is sarcasm (oooooh). Celebrities. They’re so tricky!
