Pop culture moments that defined Election '08
NEW YORK - Given the historic election we've all just experienced, it's hard to remember back to last week, let alone June 2007, when Barack Obama was a true underdog, polling way behind front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Obama's sweet talk is a tale of pie
Sen. Barack Obama likes pie. Over the last three days of campaigning, it's become clear that he's given a great deal of thought to pie. He's talked about the kinds of pie he likes, about having a pie contest where he'll be a judge, and how pie fits into the larger economic difficulties of our time. On Thursday afternoon, in Georgetown, Ohio, Obama and Gov. Ted Strickland stopped at a diner for pie. He's been talking about the visit ever since. He waxed on about his pie during a rally in Portsmouth, Ohio t

MUSICAL DISTRACTION: “I’M GOING UPSTAIRS,” BY JOHN LEE HOOKER
Today’s Musical Distraction actually comes from one of our readers – a financial whiz who flirted with McCain early on, but come election day plans to “take that next step” with Obama. Mainly because he’s been crying himself to sleep at night over the market collapse and believes that Obama’s policy prescriptions, while not necessarily music to his free market-loving ears, are far more common-sense, reality-based than McCain’s.  He calls this song his 

“As the Mighty Tide Swept the Land Tuesday Night…”
Roger Ebert gets his Soaring Political Oratory on. I like and respect Ebert’s film writing and I wish him good health in what must be a horrifying battle with cancer. As for his political musings, well…Dirty Harry administers the noogie here. (Isn’t Obama, by the way, supposed to be the guy who will make the oceans stop rising and not become a mighty tide that sweeps over the land? I seem to recall having heard this promise from…someone.) A particularly puzzling line of Ebert’

Ellen DeGeneres reacts to California’s ban on gay marriage
Ellen DeGeneres has reacted to the passing of California’s Proposition 8 which bans gay marriage. She’s clearly upset about it, and you can tell she’s very conflicted by the joy she feels over Barack Obama’s election contrasted with the sadness over Prop 8. The California-voter ban on Tuesday – by some 52 percent – of same-sex marriage has left Ellen DeGeneres “saddened beyond belief,” she says. In a statement posted on her show’s Web site Wednesday, the talk host, wh
