Image: Change is coming
While we don’t like the idea to demonstrate any difference between people by the color of your skin, we are remembering that not so long ago (less than 30 years in some states of the U.S.) a person like Obama would have seen his parents arrested for the (difference in the) color of their skin and he himself would have been a complete outcast in normal life left alone political life.
So because of this and only because of this we believe the image below might visualize how big a step the U.S. has made yesterday with Barack Obama’s election for President.
It certainly visualizes that there is a change. And when can you see 44 U.S. Presidents all together in one image.

Reminder to go voting today
Just a last reminder to go out voting today how bad the weather might be or not. And try to use paper ballots wherever this is possible so that your vote might actually be counted for the candidate you voted for.
Below two videos from “The Onion” reminding you in a humorous way of a quote from Russian Dictator Joseph Stalin: “The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything”

Music: Ayo
We’ve first listened to Ayo, the Nigerian-Roma Soul, Reggae and Acoustic Soul singer a while ago at the Paleo festival. What a performance and what a person. She definitely has seen rough times in her life, but when I see her smile it’s the smile of a survivor.
Carry on and here are three songs from this outstanding person.

Humor: Counting Sheep
Not tired when its time to sleep or having spent too much time in the office with your head on the desk. This little Flash application might help.
Unfortunately little Bah-Bah can’t count further than 40 so we are missing the pleasure listening to a sheep saying one thousand three hundred thirty three.

Humor: Pay Rises
In quite a few countries around the globe the next rounds of pay negotiations will soon start or have just started. And this time those negotiations most likely in a few countries might turn out to end in fights for workers getting at least the inflationary price increases covered.
Interestingly enough while those managers that have caused the current world wide economic crisis have recently given themselves pay rises of 20% or more (plus of course millions in bonus and dividend payments) they are once more demonstrating complete resistance to let those who create the results participate - even with a minimal share. And based on recent publications real inflation e.g. in the UK is actually closer to 18% and not around the 3-4% published by the government.
Now here’s an image to help sustain these hardships and to make you feel better (or at least smile).

USA: 5 More Friends uncensored
If that video would have been created with top-level bank managers it would certainly qualify for the most expensive political clip ever done. But it was created with the help of some of the best known actors of this planet - and some of them still believe that having an opinion, standing up for it and be heard is more important than a few Million Billion of bonus payments.
Now Americans GO OUT AND VOTE!
Be a role model. Not only in the U.S. but also for all the other countries that soon will be voting on the same cause.
