My two takeaways from this photo collection are that Obama can go right even though he's a lefty (assuming he made that layup), and he should definitely wear sunglasses as Diplomat-in-Chief for the intimidation factor. - Casey Muller

Such wondeful photos and they make me realize that I want a president who is not only smarter but more atheltic than most people...... - Michael Muller
rumor has it that W. is actually pretty athletic. He can bench press some improbably high sum... - Ryan
"We leveraged up and if you have a 20 percent fall in value of a $20 trillion asset, that’s $4 trillion. And when $4 trillion lands — losses land in the wrong part of this economy, it can gum up the whole place.”
People should have known better but in some way’s it’s unavoidable with markets: “People should always know better. … I mean people — people don’t get — they don’t get smarter about things that get as basic as greed and you can’t stand to see your neighbor getting rich. You know you’re smarter than he is, and he’s doing these things, you know, and he’s getting rich, and your spouse is getting unhappy with you because you aren’t doing — pretty soon you start doing it. And so you get what I call the natural progression, the three I’s: the innovators, the imitators, and the idiots. And that’s what happens. Everybody just kind of goes along. And you look kind of silly if you disagree." - Paul Buchheit

Can someone please engrave this on a plaque somewhere? Maybe we could have it etched into some tablets from the mountaintop and have churches predicated on these words. - Christopher Sacca
Right on! Yep, i am very "silly" ...not a jonesy type anymore.... we gave away much of our "cool stuff" and now have a mimimalist home ...MUCH BETTER and the best part, no stinking debt, except house and 1 car. The bank was all too ready to sock us deep into debt. We decided against that and are very happy with our decision to borrow only half what was offered (more realistic with cushion to $pare) - Susan Beebe
Unsure imitators and idiots don't simply continue on their merry way under bailout. - AJ Kohn
@AJ all the bailout does is buy time. We're merely delaying the inevitable, I think. If the imitators and the idiots keep doing what they're doing, we'll just be right back here again, except probably even worse off. - Victor Ganata
A lot of people have criticized Paulson, here's what Buffett says: "I don’t think you can have a better secretary of the Treasury than Hank Paulson … he knows markets, he knows corporations’ work, he knows money, and he’s got the interests of the country at heart." - Sanjeev Singh
kevin harlan. lol. those jerseys look as weak as their team name - Cee Bee
ahh, welcome to the uncanny valley NBA 2K9 - Adam Kazwell
To tell you the truth, I bet it's just a basic, stock jersey that they'll use until the real one's are unveiled. - Ryne Nelson
The game's looking amazing. But that's to be expected from this series. Unlike their EA counterparts. I'm still bitter over the NFL license monopoly. - Emilio_M
"Ever wanted to get some sleep during a train ride, or a quick powernap on the bus to work? You either hoped to wake just in time not to miss your station, or set an alarm to wake you far too early... Let iNap wake you when you get close to your stop! iNap is a 'next-generation' travel alarm. Using the GPS in your iPhone it will determine where you are, and wake you when you are close to your destination. - Adam Kazwell
Wonder what happens if the usage of GPS reduces your battery power and the phone dies before you get to your destination? - Adewale Oshineye
That's what my kids would use it for unfortunately.... - Pete Gilbert
It does looks like a giant urinal, but good concept nevertheless. - Winston Teo
I think it looks amazing, i personally have a fantasy about a bathtub i can lay down and stretch my feet and arms out and not hit either end of the tub. - Jason Lowe
Walk-in showers and in-floor bathtubs/hottubs seem much more appealing than this. - Chris White
"In these past Olympics, Lithuania came in fourth. Just behind Argentina, Spain and the United States.That's no surprise. The Lithuanian team is always in the hunt. It's worth noting the sizes of these nations, however. The population of Lithuania is about the same as Oregon." - Adam Kazwell

"In 2007, both Roger Clemens and Julio Franco were still active in the Major Leagues, but sadly neither has touched a bat or ball this season.
While the steroid scandal has knocked Clemens out of the league, Julio Franco simply became too old for teams to consider, turning 49 this year.
The dream is over and RBI Baseball is without a single active player" - Adam Kazwell

To get from North America to Asia, they booked passage on a cargo ship leaving from Oakland and bound for Taiwan....They warned us. They warned us about the food. The freighter agency literature mentions several times that the food may not be what Americans are accustomed to -- for example, it says, "there may not be dessert." - Adam Kazwell
"In New York homelessness seemed binary - you are either homeless or you are not. In California homelessness is a rainbow, and every color travels with us on the Greyhound bus to San Francisco."......Sleeping was uncomfortable the first night, but by the second night we are masters. This is because we are now so tired we could sleep anywhere. And we nap. Napping is the secret of sleeping on trains. Sleep whenever you are the slightest bit tired. Bored? Try closing your eyes! The constant unstructured drift between sleeping and wakefulness unmoors you from time as you have known it, leaving you wondering just how many weeks have I been sitting here, again? - Adam Kazwell
Comcast SportsNet has learned that Cuban is the highest bidder to buy the Cubs at $1.3 billion...which sounded great until I read that any successful sale must be approved by three-quarters of the owners of other major league teams. Based on my time in Dallas I would say without a doubt that any fan should root for Mark Cuban to be the owner of their preferred team. - Adam Kazwell

"t's unique because it piggybacks on a Hype Machine like backbone, which allows you to search and organize publicly posted songs, so no uploading required. You can also easily reorder, and add tracks from other playlists to yours." - Adam Kazwell
"Adam Kazwell is a 28-year-old FriendFeed aficionado"....so cool to see someone else say this :) - Adam Kazwell
to clarify my points from the article - I think the major thing holding non-web 2.0 people back from getting into Friendfeed/lifestreaming is the one-to-many type of communication....I think it's awkward for them to read through a bunch of links when there's not something specific to discuss. - Adam Kazwell
