Justin Tuck of the New York Giants knows what Turkey Day is all about — serving up food to those in need. You too can lend a helping hand to someone in need today. It doesn’t have to be as generous as the Giants’ Thanksgiving Dinner. Since I enjoy leading by example, I’ll start by helping my aunt’s family (and everyone I visit today, for that matter) by eating as much of their turkey as possible. Imagine how much food they’ll have to clean up if no one takes the time to eat.

As I mentioned earlier, Nobody Wa S Thirsty is a conceptual campaign by Nobody, Cafe Wa S, and charity: water in an effort to deliver clean water to countries suffering from drought. The Nobody shirts are now available, so be sure to cop one for yourself and one for a friend.

It’s officially over. Hope, change, and common sense prevailed over fear and injustice tonight. Obama didn’t just win, he won handily. He won blue states; he won red states; he won swing states. Who would’ve thunk that the same people that voted George W. Bush into office twice would turn the page in 2008? This is truly a watershed moment in American history, one that we will all remember for the rest of our lives.

Electoral Vote Count

Video The Vote wants you to record the election experience in your community, because all Americans should be able to cast their votes and have them counted. Besides, that’s the hip-hop thing to do.

With just 24 hours left before the most historic election of our time, it’s no news that political awareness is at an all time high. More significantly, hip-hoppers are high on Barack Obama. Many of them took the stage in front of about 800 people at the Chester Robinson Athletic Center at Florida Memorial University for a “Last Chance for Change” rally yesterday. In attendance were Jay-Z, Diddy, Kevin Liiles, Russell Simmons, Beyonce, Mary J Blige, and many more.

An ad agency chief executive wonders how it would’ve shaped the dynamics of this year’s presidential election if Obama and McCain were to switch races. Take a look at the creepy poster which imagines Barack as a white candidate and McCain as an elderly black man.
