Barack Obama is all about change, that’s no secret, but who would have thought that he could possibly change the way that politicians contact one of the hardest demographics to reach? Obama has decided to use video games to advertise to young males, 18-34. Advertisements in this medium are nothing new.

Faculty members at any of the Triangle’s major universities frequently find themselves in the spotlight, be it for recognition of achievement or research news. But sometimes the story is less than glowing – such as today’s revelation by Eric Ferreri of The News and Observer that several members of local academia have signed a national petition giving support to Bill Ayers.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me nine times, shame on Adam 'Pacman' Jones.

McCain this, Obama that. It seems that everywhere you turn all you here about is the election. Not that the election isn’t important, it’s just that every once in a while you need a break from it. So let’s turn to something a little more interesting, like NC State football …on second thought, an under-achieving team with only two wins and six losses isn’t that interesting. Well, we always have hope for basketball!

I’m excited about seeing the Greg Kinnear-led Flash of Genius, which opens today. It boasts the classic David-versus-Goliath matchup between a lone man and what appears to be a faceless corporate machine; best of all, it’s a true story. Robert Kearns really did invent the intermittent windshield wiper, and "Ford Motor Co. really did swipe the idea. The film has seen mixed reviews, but Roger Ebert notably gave it three stars.
