Geek Stuff: It appears that Obama’s got the geek vote.

I would have never thought to look to Roger Ebert for one of the best takes on the Biden/Palin debate, but there you go.

Overcompensating muscleheads on steroids.

The world’s smallest functional teapot.

Stuff You Should Know: How to wake up early.

Here are the electoral maps for every election going back to 1789. George Washington won that one, in case you were wondering. Some of those early elections are pretty interesting to look at.

Now that the silly season is in full swing (Obama is a terrist!!1!), Krugman reminds us just how insane the Clinton-deranged right wing was in the late ’90’s.

“What happens when Obama is elected? It will be even worse than it was in the Clinton years. For sure there will be crazy accusations, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some violence. The next few years are going to be very, very tough.”

Of course Obama has the geek vote:

Obama knows what net neutrality is, and supports it; McCain cannot use an email program.

Obama understands the communication power of the Internet and has skillfully used it to organize his campaign, bypassing the sclerotic national Democratic Party machinery, and geeks noticed. McCain is not certain what a blog might be, but he knows they're bad, and his advisers tell him that Youtube is an enemy and a hotbed of copyright terrorism piracy.

Finally, Obama has been endorsed by xkcd, which is a clincher.
