Just call the ACORN people. They'll help you vote multiple times. Even if you're already dead. Even if you never existed at all. But only if you're an Obama fan.
Or, if the identity theft experts who run those places already have your name, address, and such, then don't worry about it, you've probably already voted.

Okay...I haven't read all the numerous posts in this thread but I just wanted to thank the show for showcasing The Knife? Why because I absoulutely love their sound. I'm all about finding new sounds and enjoying them because pop music makes my ears bleed. This coming from an avid pop music listener...but things change, my life changed in numerous ways where my taste in music has matured. Yay for maturity. Anyway I want PopSiren to know DON'T SLEEP ON JANELLE MONAE!!! she is amazing and her sound is how you say "magnific!" Anyway Janelle Monae's first suite of Metropolis has a very futuristic sound and tells a story. Her first video came out recently and I can already see a movie forming if not the music videos are a movie in it of itself. Well enjoy listening to her!
JANELLE MONAE "METROPOLIS"!!

I just wanted to mention that thought the Kanye West single is AWESOME!
He started out as pretty much just a rapper but I think he's trying to experiment in different ways of singing.
He is definitely pushing to be innovative in more ways than just his music. Kind of like NERD they are sort of creating this new mesh of hip-hop which definitely feel like a positive direction.
If anybody knows of any other artists that are doing things like Kanye and NERD PM ME or Reply to this with some suggestions!
People like Thunderheist.

Heh, it's always funny hearing people trying to pronounce swedish cities.
However, i might just have to compile a list of some other swedish bands for you. ABBA and Ace of Base are good for nostalgic reasons, but for everyday listening i need something else :)
Fagersta = Fall -ll + Guest -st + "shta". Fagueshta. Well almost anyway :)

(I admit that one very crucial year which will remain nameless I did NOT vote. I still feel like an idiot about that. Don't make the same mistake as me!)
Love,

Last week's show was awesome! Very funny and just very entertaining.
This week's show was great a lot of energy!
I visited the my debate site. Turns out I agree with Obama in 8 topics and McCain on 5 topics.. Humfff. I'm still undecided but I did just get my voter registration card..
Sarah is right it is really easy!
Great job on this week's show ladies...

"You know what else I think? I think you should vote. Also, vote. Oh, and vote.
Love, s"
I'm sorry Sarah, but I can only legally vote once. So I will have nothing to do with your illegal re-voting and re-re-voting. And may God have mercy on your soul. :)

Meh.......
The electoral college makes my vote useless (I live in Illinois).
Besides, I prefer Obama, but whose to say? I don't really know these people.
I've made many non-decisions in my life, and I can't say I regret it.
Lots of girls I decided not to sleep with had warts.
Lots of parties I decided not to attend got crashed.
And lots of jobs I decided not to take sucked.
The sad thing about this election is if Obama loses, it will be 100% because of Racism. We have too many stupid and lazy people in this country. Democracy isn't perfect. Eventually, people only listen to what they want to hear. That's not to say we live in a bad time. I appreciate the fact that we can still express ourselves as individuals. :)

She prefers Ms. IIRC. Methinks it's a preference thing.
