Guy Builds F-35 Fighter Jet On His Own
Arthur van Poppel took our Guide to Build Your Own F-35 Lightning II Fighter Jet too seriously and actually built the damn thing. Sure, it is a scaled version and it doesn't come with a demonic helmet, but you can actually drive the thing like a car and the level of detail is absolutely amazing.

My wife made me canvas for Obama; here's what I learned
"This election is not about major policies. It's about hope.Let me make it clear: I'm pretty conservative. I grew up in the suburbs. I voted for George H.W. Bush twice, and his son once. I was disappointed when Bill Clinton won, and disappointed he couldn't run again. "

Shirley Nagel's The Reason John McCain's Going To Lose The Election
Grosse Point farms has a person who's actual face was more horrific than anything Halloween could bring. Her name's Sherry Nagel and she decided to withhold candy and her good behavior to anyone who supported Barack Obama for President. I'm serious. She did that.
If Keith Olbermann found out about Sherry Nagel he would certainly call her the "Worst Person in The World." It's one thing to have a difference of opinion but to expose little kids to her evil way of showing it is grounds for being "dissed" in the court of public opinion.
If you're angry just reading this, wanna get more upset? Check out this video:

The Arizona Star Endorses Barack Obama For President
Right in Senator John McCain's home state, we have the Arizona Star annoucing it's endorsement for President: Senator Barack Obama . Here's what the Arizona Star's opinion editor wrote:
We see America the way Barack Obama sees America.
Our future requires a steady, intelligent and, as former Secretary of State Colin Powell said, a "transformational" leader to guide us into a new era. Obama brings deep intellectual curiosity, equanimity and discipline.
The ground under America is moving. A generational change is under way with or without Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., or Barack Obama, D-Ill.
The core concerns are more about the future than the past, be it eight years ago or one day ago. They are about the moment and the movement to engage Americans in ways not seen before, especially against a backdrop of economic strife unmatched since the Great Depression.
McCain is correct that it's time to stand up. "Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. Nothing is inevitable here. We're Americans, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history," he said at the Republican National Convention.
However, the ways of the past, which we believe McCain understands, will not work in this new America. The future requires new tools and new expertise. A premium must be placed on more than just love of country. We must re-embrace American ideals and lead the world on a stronger path to prosperity and peace.
The time is now and the leader is Barack Obama. The Star endorses Obama for president of the United States.

Know your Voter's Rights
Do you know you can vote despite foreclosure?
Do you know students get to choose if they'd prefer to vote in the precinct their student housing is in or at their parents permanent address?
Know your rights.
The MN Voter Bill of Rights, which bears a strong resemblance to many others is listed at this site. So are descriptions of eligibility, etc., plus links to resources in states likely to see lots of eligibility challenges, such as Florida, Ohio, W. Va, Nevada, Missouri, and more. Tips in video form from a variety of non-partisan sources. A good resource for folks in "purple" states (or just in a purple state of mind.) Election day is Tuesday November 4th 2008 in every single state.

Hotspots around the country...
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has information on voting in all 50 states collected in one handy location. They are a non-partisan organization committed to helping all eligible voters cast ballots, and working to limit and mitigate disenfranchisement as the ultimate anti-American activity. Here are shortcuts directly to the information in a few states likely to be in the limelight due either to being closely contested on election day 2008, or to recent history of balloting problems:
