Shane Kimbrough is an American hero. Not only is he risking his life breathing recycled air and eating tasteless, shrink-wrapped meals in a radiation-blasted tin can 250 miles above Earth, the man just took time out of his busy schedule to participate in the grotesque bloodsport that is the 2016 presidential election.
On Thursday, the two candidates left in the race for Prime Minister to replace David Cameron are both women. Very conservative women.
America doesn’t ask much of you, besides 30% of your income, give or take, and a begrudging tolerance for Ken Burns documentaries. Except for one big thing.
That's Mrs. Winifred Banks, the woman who abandons her kids with Mary Poppins so she can flip her husband the bird and get out there and ROCK THE VOTE.
If you're like me and spent much of your 20s moving every ten days (what? relationships and rent are hard!), you probably visited a different polling place every year. Well, now that I'm aged and settled, I know where to do things like vote and get my dentures adhesed; but back in the day, a site like Find Your…
Did you remember to set your clocks back? Neither did I - I've been up since forever. Thanks a lot, Benjamin Franklin.
It's a good idea, right? Listen to America's grumpy Santa this voting season and haul at least one of your lazy-ass friends to the polls with you. Especially if you're in a swing state! Their vote could mean the difference between giving Obama another four years and Romney ruling Washington like it's Castle Grayskull.
It's hard to believe (say, about as inconceivable as the concept that some women are raped because it's God's "intention") that Obama could've lost a significant amount of support from women voters after that one lackluster Denver debate. But, according to national polls and some battleground state surveys, that's…
Any connoisseur of 80's and 90's era kids' sports comedies knows that when the bad guys can't win, they cheat. Cobra Kai tried it, the Urbania Cowboys tried it, and everyone The Mighty Ducks ever played tried it. Now that an increasingly nonwhite population trend has threatened the electoral clout of white people,…
We've got a long history, Florida and I. Our paths keep crossing as if the fate of America's pregnant cabana accident capitol and I are somehow cosmically intertwined, and so naturally, when I found out that the Republican National Convention was being held in Florida this year, I knew I had to go. And that's how I…
In their neverending quest to alienate the lady voters of America, Romney's campaign took another giant (mis)step toward accomplishing the goal of having only one woman cast her vote for Mitt in November. (Ann Romney is nothing if not loyal to dear Mittens.) Romney's senior campaign advisor Eric Fehrnstrom was on…
If you believe Rush Limbaugh and a lot of other conservative politicos, we sluts are everywhere these days, and we're doing our level best to ruin this country with our super sexy sex words and fancy ideas about contraception. Of course, the thing about sluts (also called women, by some more progressive members of…
Holy shit: the internet is teeming with awesomely horrible people for you to date. We asked for your stories, and you good god, you delivered. Let's skip the foreplay and get right to the dirtiest half-dozen.
As you may recall, in Obama's acceptance speech he told the incredible story of Ann Nixon Cooper. The 106-year-old got a tip from the Obama campaign and stayed up on Tuesday night to see her name mentioned by the President Elect. Cooper is a former Atlanta socialite who co-founded a Girls Club for African-American…
Here's the last of the reader-submitted photos of the lines, small and large, that were outside of polling stations around the country today, November 4, 2008. From New Hampshire to California, citizens enthusiastically voted, even if it meant they had to stand in a long line. Congratulations! Now, if you'll excuse…
Readers are continuing to send us their polling place photos and many of them are braving some pretty long lines (check out the one on the left!). Remember to snap a photo when you vote today and email it to us at tips@jezebel.com as we will continue our coverage of reader's polling places throughout the day. We won't…
Early rising Jezebels were poll-bound this morning, finding (mostly) long lines leading up to the voting booth, even in "solid blue" states like New York. After the jump, look at reader-submitted photos from various polling places across the country as well as some pics of early voting lines. Keep sending us pictures…
