Morning Brew for 11/4

I'm still trying to get over last night's Jazz game. The good news is, I have someone to blame. Thanks Ross!

-As we exclusively reported yesterday, Tuesday was Election Day across the United States. Here is a list of some of the notable races around the country. Most importantly I will now have something to do if and when I take a trip to Ohio. Does this make Lebron's personal casino legal? Hmmmm....

-Good news for beer lovers, states around the country are nearly doubling the alcohol content in beer. Some beers will now have a legal alcohol by volume of 13.9%, up from 6%. The newer, more potent beers will cost more than a regular 6-pack however.

-The Louisiana Justice of the Peace who refused to marry an interracial couple has resigned. Keith Bardwell refused to marry the couple based on his belief that it was unfair to the couple's potential children to come from an interracial home. I thought that making my "Moron of the Week" pick was going to be more difficult. Good riddance Mr. Bardwell!

-American billionaire, Warren Buffett has taken his model train enthusiasm to a new level. Buffett's company Berkshire Hathaway purchased Burlington Northern for a mere $34 billion. The company is the nation's largest rail transporter of coal and grain, also transports electronics and consumer goods as well as imported cars from both Toyota and Honda.

-Steve Martin, and Alec Baldwin will share the duties of hosting the 82nd Academy Awards. The show which is scheduled for March 7th, will be Martin's 3rd time hosting, while Baldwin will be making his debut. This will be the first show since 1987 to have multiple hosts. Chevy Chase, Goldie Hawn and Paul Hogan split the duties that year.

-The World Series resumes play tonight with game 6 at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx. Tonight's starting pitchers, Andy Pettitte, and Pedro Martinez are going to party like it's 1999. The two starters are a combined 75 years old. Speaking of old people, did you know Tim McCarver has a CD of great American songs? If that doesn't top your Holiday Shopping list, I don't know what will!

Morning Brew For 11/3

Before we get started, I just wanted to remind everyone to follow 8 Hours to Kill over on our Twitter Page. I will periodically throughout the day post links over there. Also it's a great way to get a link sent in, quick and easy (that's what she said).

-It is Election Day across America. Millions of people around the country are headed to the polls today to vote in the off-year elections. CNN gives us 10 Races To Watch from around the country.

-If you haven't seen the video of Spurs guard Manu Ginobili swatting a live bat out of the air on Halloween night, do your self a favor and check it out. The video itself is worth the click, but the fact that he had to get a rabies shot afterward, and then apologize to all the bat lovers across the country pushes the comedy even higher.

-Have you ever wanted to be on a 25 story high billboard in the middle of Times Square? Well, it might be cheaper than you think. American Eagle will give that opportunity to anyone who makes a purchase in their new Times Square location. The company will put a picture of you, as well as a 50 character message on the sign for as little as a $6.50 pair of socks. I wonder how Jackie Chiles would feel about this?

-I threw this link up on our Twitter account yesterday, but Time Magazine has posted what they think are the Top 10 Game Show Moments of all-time. Some entertaining stuff here.

-Does it get any better than seeing Doug Reinhardt dressed as the Tooth Fairy? Oh what we do for money love.

Make sure if you have a link to e-mail it in, and we'll share it with the rest of the world.
