Make Election Day a Saturday?

Roland Martin says voting on Tuesday made sense when the day was set in 1845, but a change is needed.

I like this debate. Should we move the election day to the weekend? Roland Martin seems to think so. You've got to admit, his argument makes sense. All arguments about tradition aside, there really is no plausible reason to keep the election on a Tuesday. It's the middle of the week, it's a work day, people have things to do, it limits the number of people who can actually make it to the polls. Logistically, it just doesn't make sense. So why not change it to a Saturday, a day that's already set aside for leisure?

Or better yet, as some have suggested, why not just make that Tuesday a national holiday? Other countries do it. Hmmm...

Nas - Black President

Nasir gives his take on the current state of the nation and political atmosphere in the country. Looks like he's openly supporting Barack.

All political bias aside, it is my opinion that this is one of the better Nas songs I've heard in years. See kids? You don't have to wear a backpack to pass a message in your music. Check it out.
