Every time I see Jonah Hill I just wanna, I dunno, hang out with him.

But seriously people, vote.

Sarah Palin is doing Saturday Night Live. Not Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin doing Saturday Night Live. But the Sarah Herself. She has already OK’d it. She’s booked. It’s confirmed. Done deal. Sketches are being sketched as we speak. She — eyeglasses, haircomb, designer jacket and trunkful of gosh-darns, golly-gees and gol-dangs — will be on SNL Saturday night, Oct. 25. Sarah’s rehearsal time has already been penciled in for Friday the 24th. And it’s because she wants to do it. ”

Turns out that one county in New York mailed out their ballots with this amusing typo. Barack Obama’s last name was ‘misspelled’ as Osama.

“This was a typo,” said Republican Commissioner Larry Bugbee. ”We have three different staff members who proof these things and somehow the typo got by us.”

I’m not one to jump to conclusions or point the finger at Republicans, but when a typo comes up like that on top of having three different staff members proofing these ballots, I get a ‘little’ suspicious.

The worst part? Only three people called in about the error out of 300 delivered ballots. And you have to call in to get a replacement ballot. Will it really end up affecting the election? It might push a few undecideds the other way, but this still looks pretty suspicious.

A few months ago Seth Godin mentioned on his blog that he was accepting preorders for Tribes, his new book. Now, being a fan of Seth Godin I took a moment and ordered an early copy off of Amazon. I also received an early invitation to a tribe discussion group, but I didn’t participate in that.

Today, two weeks early, a copy of Tribes showed up on my door step along with a letter from Seth thanking me for preordering. It also said that this was an early copy of the book. Read it, share it, and when the copy I ordered arrives, give it to a friend.

Thanks, Seth.

I’m opening up the comments here and on NinjaKai. Leave a comment, say hi, tell me why you would like the book, or whatever.

I’m going to pick one of the comments at (mostly) random for a copy of the book. For free. For you to read.
