"There will be enormous, enormous losses..."
On Friday I injected my IRA with some of my quarterly savings, thinking that the newly passed Bailout Bill would make it a non-lethal time to buy (I'm also 35+ years from retirement). Since it takes a couple days for the funds to clear my bank account, I watched the markets tumble on Monday not knowing when the funds would actually clear. I was on the edge of my seat watching the DOW move while periodically checking my account. I felt like I was playing Plinko.

Is she going to put Air Force One up on ebay?
And what's this about her being against the Bridge to Nowhere? How can she lie like that to the American public when it's be debunked?
She infuriates me.

I just donated for Obama - for the first time ever to a campaign. I think it's contagious.

There's a Facebook Group: Jesus was a Community Organizer!

Jesus, the historical Jesus Christ was not, in anyway, a 'community organizer'
You and your "facts". Didn't you hear Palin say she was against the Bridge last night? Facts have no place in this election.
Jesus organized his community from the saddle of his brontosaurus.

It marks you as a local if you know it, and an outsider if you say "snowmobile."
Thus the main pretense for secession and the subsequent civil war.

I added to the MeFi Wiki an entry for the Longest Threads. If someone has access to the info dump and could add to it, that'd be swell; or memail me so I can. For instance: not sure if the Ski Taos thread is really the longest AskMe or not. Or what were the longest Metalk threads before 9622v.2. I included cortex's interesting graphs as well.

McCain, Palin criticize Obama on earmarks (AP)
"John McCain and Sarah Palin criticized Democrat Barack Obama over the amount of money he has requested for his home state of Illinois, even though Alaska under Palin's leadership has asked Washington for 10 times more money per citizen for pet projects."

It's not indecent. It's highly moral, Majesty. It's full of proper small town virtues.
Excuse me, Majesty, but what do you think these could be? Being from New York, I'd love to learn.
Well, tell him, konolia. Name us a small town virtue.
Love, sire.
Oh, love! Of course, in New York we know nothing about love.

A Speech So Stirring It Converted Pat Buchanan
I received a text message last night from my girlfriend who was a big Hillary supporter and never really liked Obama; or most likely didn't like the hype around Obama. I believe she never really gave him a chance. So last night I got a message asking me , "Are you watching the speech?"
"I am," I replied
"It's pretty good," she said. From that I could hear a chink form in her armor and it... [more]

"Frog" was pretty inexact. That would be like calling the bluebells "flowers". So in that case I got a LOT more right.

Espresso on Ice is Not Okay
When I lived in Paris, this one crêpe-cart guy in St-Germain-des-Prés wouldn't let me take home my crêpe and eat it five minutes away. I had to consume it immediately -or at least nearby- while it was warm. He was stern, and French, and I obeyed.

After updating her site every few days, she hasn't had a single update since May 25th. After eviction, how long could she stay at a Motel 6 making $12/hour? :(

We're evidently the ones coming on in and causin' a stir-and-a-ruckus.
The people who actually read Boing Boing don't have a voice of their own without reprisal from the authorities who control the site. They have no public defender. No outlet to protest. At least Digg was able to commandeer their site. Boing Boing looks disgraceful by comparison.

... reading so many critical comments had led them to reassess the idea of unpublishing, which is explicitly stated as a right the site reserves for the content it publishes. [NYT]
Which was only made explicit on their Policies page in the past week, a good year after the posts were unpublished.
