Obama wins election

By probabilityZero | November 4, 2008

It’s official!
Some part of me can’t believe we did this. I went down to my local polling place earlier today and voted (Obama for President, no on prop 8 ) — absolutely no line — and nearly all my 18+ year old friends also voted today. I can imagine the turnout for this election was [...]

By probabilityZero | June 7, 2008

For a while, everyone was asking each other “where were you when you heard about 9/11″ “or what were you doing,” etc. While I was alive (11 at the time), I was too young to really appreciate what had happened, so the memory never really stuck with me. From what those older than me have [...]

Clinton is out, Obama is the candidate

By probabilityZero | June 7, 2008

Finally. Now we can all focus on winning the actual election.
