...correspondent Jessica Yellin, who was in Chicago at the victory rally for President-elect Barack Obama yet miraculously appeared on TV to be standing before anchor Wolf Blitzer in the CNN newsroom, waving - and surrounded by a fuzzy white line. In the studio, Blitzer was talking to empty space, although he could see Yellin on a nearby monitor. "We beamed you in here into the CNN election center," said Blitzer, who received 242 viewer e-mails about the stunt, 80% of which "expressed how 'cool' it was," according to a CNN spokeswoman. will.i.am, musician and creator...

...hear Obama; a hundred fifty thousand turned out in purple ones, even after all this time, when they should have been sick to death of Hope and Change. In Michigan, people put an electric fence around their yard sign to protect it. NASA astronauts on board the International Space Station sent a video message encouraging people to vote; they did, from 200 miles up. A judge in Ohio ruled that homeless people could use a park bench as their address in order to register. A couple flew home from India just to cast their ballots. Obama's Ohio volunteers knocked...
