Vote for IZ

I got this forwarded to me and thought I'd pass it along. Apparently NASA is letting the public vote for wakeup songs that will be played during the final missions of the space shuttle program. Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's "Over the Rainbow" is on the ballot and current number eight out of 40.

He's a long way from number one but with everyone's help we can make him top the charts. I should add that all of the songs are former wakeup songs. They've already been there, done that. But still, it's like a hana hou right?

As far as I can tell, you can vote more than once. I've already tried about 10 times and the total number of votes keeps increasing. Either it's logging my votes or someone else is voting at the same time as me. Win-win either way.

Right to Vote

The 2008 elections are turning into a doozy, aren't they? Locally and nationally, you must pick a side or get out of the way. You're either for rail or against rail. You're either for the war or against the war. You're either for the first black president or for the first female vice president. Pick a side people, pick a side.

Celebrities are getting into the whole politcal scene as well. Have you seen how involved Oprah is? Hollywood is not backing away from politics. In fact, it's stepping up to the plate and showing up at rallies and fundraisers, benefit concerts and conventions. Celebrities, even faux celebrity D-listers, are speaking out on behalf of their favorite candidate. They're encouraging Americans to take a stand.

So whether you're a Republican, Democrat or Independent, Hollywood is asking for your vote.
