Planning to Tweet or Instagram Your Ballot? You May Be Committing a Felony

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 19:53:35 +0000

Voting in a presidential election is pretty exciting. And, these days, when we do something exciting we want to tell the world about it through social network sites like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

But while there may be a temptation to take a photo of your completed ballot and post it on the internet with pride, it's not a very good idea. In fact in states like Wisconsin it's a felony to let anybody else see your ballot or a photo of your ballot.

Four-Year-Old Expresses How We All Feel About the Election

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 17:22:01 +0000

With the presidential election less than a week away, candidates are bombarding us from all angles with ads, debates and last-minute pushes to secure votes. (Their efforts are pretty much pointless considering we joined The Pizza Party a while back, but that's besides the point.)

In all seriousness, all this presidential hoopla can be a little overwhelming and upsetting at times. This is especially true if you're a politically-aware four-year-old.

Final Presidential Debate Gets 'Song-ified'

Emerald Catron — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:44:48 +0000

While everyone else was sitting around making jokes about horses and bayonets, the ‘Autotune the News’ folks were working hard to turn Monday night’s debate into a song. This is what they came up with. We think it’s pretty good — it’s about as catchy as the first song they did, but it lacks the [...]

Emerald Catron — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:30:34 +0000

It’s not everyday that you get to see Mitt Romney smacked in the face with a hot dog or President Obama trounced with a balloon sword… Until now.

Willie Nelson's Endorsement for President

Jeff Easterling — Thu, 19 May 2011 19:54:56 +0000

As far as I’m concerned, the 2012 presidential race has officially begun. That’s because Willie Nelson has endorsed Republican candidate, and former New Mexico Governor, Gary Johnson. As you’d expect with Willie… it’s all about the weed. Johnson favors legalizing marijuana so who better to get the endorsement of Willie’s Teapot Party. But he didn’t [...]
