In a newly revised 10-minute competition, Joey and former hot dog champ Takeru Kobayashi were neck-and-neck as they BOTH finished with an incredible 59 wieners. In an unprecedented tie-breaker, Joey just barely beats Kobayashi to the last dog in sudden-death overtime. Hell to the yeah.

FINALLY. Bringing a grueling primary season to a close, BARACK OBAMA clinches the Democratic nomination. Holler. After sharing a celebratory fist-bump with wife, Michelle, Obama graciously declares victory in St. Paul, Minnesota (site of the future GOP National Convention - it’s on, John McCain).
Fist Bump.
Hillary, not cute. Time to take the high road.
In 2007, 2.2 Million Aussies in Sydney, Australia decided to turn out the lights for one hour…AT THE SAME TIME. The amount of energy they saved was equivalent to taking 48,000 cars off the road. Wowzers. This year, on Saturday, March 29 from 8-9PM, “Earth Hour” goes global! From SF to Manila to… Christchurch (Yup, that’s a real city. In New Zealand.), millions of folks - including businesses and corporations - will be turning off their lights in a worldwide movement to cool the warming globe.
Saturday, March 29, 8-9PM.
Let’s Go Dark.

Whether you watch it or read it, this speech given yesterday by Barack Obama will either give you goose pimples or have you shed a single tear. In response to the attacks made against his pastor, Rev. Wright, for making inflammatory remarks about America in his sermons - Barack does not simply condemn his pastor and hope to move forward from a political mea culpa, but he insightfully addresses the long-ignored issue of Race in America and he HOLDS THE REVEREND DOWN.
If you haven’t already, take a minute…or 37…to finally be excited about a Presidential Candidate.
