      Time will see to that. 

      I think remarkable charisma and a very weak opponent probably contributed to his win? His speech and the way he ran his campaign is very impressive. All hail the first rock star in white house!

      Humorous interview

      Chris Tucker: It's simple, vote for the guy with one house

      Rock, an avid supporter of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, spoke with CNN's Larry King on Thursday. He said Obama is more grounded with your average American -- not somebody like McCain with "12 houses."

      "The other guy [McCain] can lose five houses," Rock said.

      "I'll go with the guy with one house. The guy with one house is scared about losing his house."

      Here's the count so far...

      looks like Prop 8 may be passed...

      which is actually pretty good.. it tells the prudes out there to mind their own business if it's a consensual thing between a pair of adults..

      Because they are so democratic, they will give people a 2nd chance, they will appoint Dick "Not My Fault" Fuld as the secretary of treasury.
