Barack the Casbah

Today marks the anniversary of Women's Suffrage. Yay women voting.

Thursday, August 28, Barack Obama will accept his nomination as the Democratic Party's nominee for the 2008 Presidential Race. Yay apoliticianwhoknowshiswayaroundaword.

After a quick search on my.BarackObama.com, here's a list of Brooklyn bars hosting the broadcast, I think I'll be having a Hop Obama that night:

The goal is to raise enough money to charter a bus full of volunteers to places like Pennsylvania and Ohio, to put in work where it matters - Swing States. Hope to see you there!”
