you know you done messed up when even george will and cokie roberts are criticizing - Cee Bee

From Mr. Conservative George Will: "I suppose the McCain campaign's hope is that when there's a big crisis, people will go for age and experience," George Will said. "The question is who in this crisis looked more presidential, calm and unflustered. It wasn't John McCain, who, as usual, substituting vehemence for coherence said let's fire somebody and picked one of the most experienced and conservative people in the administration." - cjmart

Idle Unfounded Speculation: many conservatives are cutting their losses and torpedoing the McCain campaign because he was never their guy. And, while Obama will win the Presidency, they're betting he cannot handle it...or betting that world economic/etc. issues will conspire to make it unhandle-able. Meanwhile, they dig their heels in to fuck with the Obama presidency over the next four years while they prepare to get a true-red conservative to the top of the ticket in 2012. - Chester

It will be hard for Obama, after four years of Democratic rule of the Presidency and Congress, to come back after four ugly years and say "re-elect me because I've done such a wonderful job." I think Obama isn't very concerned about that, though. There are two things he loves to do: make speeches and make money. Being an exPresident will help both immensely. - ComicList

Yes, because the Democrats in power for the last two years have done wonders. - Spencer

Yes, that ABSOLUTELY makes sense. Obama is all about the money. Because that's why you take your Ivy League education and go to work as a community manager rather than joining a huge law firm. For the money. - Cyndy

+12 Cyndy. - AJ Kohn

You mean working for ACORN, which is the largest voter fraud organization in the U.S. ;) - Spencer

It's hilarious for people to try to contrast Obama with McCain by making Obama sound like the greedy one. :) As far as I know Obama didn't leave his first wife to marry a fabulously wealthy (and more attractive) one. Obama knows how many houses he owns and he owns one car. I'm sorry, but you don't get to say Obama is the greedy one after the money... - Internet's Tad

@Spencer: Want to compare fraud by association? You want to go with Obama/ACORN. I counter with McCain/S&L-Keating Five. - AJ Kohn

@Tad: +7. - AJ Kohn

Republicans talking about voter fraud is HILARIOUS! How about the Voter Caging going on in Michigan where the Republicans are challenging voter registrations for every name that shows up on a foreclosure list. Because, you know, when people are down it's the best time to kick 'em, and the poors don't vote Republican anyway. - Jason Carreira

@Jason: +1. I was going to reply that way but didn't have time to dig up a specific instance. - AJ Kohn

The fake conservatives here (Soulhuntre, Charles LePage, Scott Spencer) can't deal with the words of a real conservative, George Will: "The question is who in this crisis looked more presidential, calm and unflustered. It wasn't John McCain, who, as usual, substituting vehemence for coherence said let's fire somebody and picked one of the most experienced and conservative people in the administration." What -- no response? - Sean McBride

"substituting vehemence for coherence" -- in four words, George Will managed to sum up everything that is wrong and anti-conservative about John McCain. He's like George W. Bush, but worse. Four more years of Bush-style governance, and the United States will be permanently ruined. - Sean McBride

If by "what is important" you mean "moving to Brasil" then yes. - Jason Carreira

@Gregory: Agree regarding consumption, eduction, competition, personal responsibility etc. It's why I'm against the bailout. Would prefer *that* collapse to the harmful isolation and nationalism that might exist under McCain. - AJ Kohn

@Gregory: Completely agree. - AJ Kohn

I would characterize this discussion less as "tears into" and more as "has a measured conversation about the shortcomings of" -- the kind of rational discourse that is all too lacking on the scream-a-minute cable news channels these days. I'm no conservative (mostly), but I'd rather listen to George Will than Bill O'Reilly any day. - Heidi Moon

Bill O'Reilly is no conservative. If it got him higher ratings (and more $$$) to do some other shtick, he'd do it, but he's carved out his niche and he's profitable at it. - Jason Carreira

He just plays one on TV? :) - Heidi Moon

hey no worries guys :) - Zee.

Thanks! - Carmen

YESH spanks, thanky! - Christine Cavalier

what a sexist! Not my thoughts but I'm sure the right will be on him saying that. Throw logic out the window! - Jim Goldstein

Wow! Much more respect for Damon now. - Brandon Titus

I said this on the other person's thread who posted it: That Sarah definitely won't be f*cking Matt Damon. - Trish R

Where is he? His mom's? - anna sauce

priceless, and he is absolutely right. - Bastian

Smart Kid! - hellonm

Aaaah yes Hollywood stars opinion is how I make my decisions...... - Jim Stewart

@melmcbride oh you're right, probably is. I like the idea that he's filming this from home :) - anna sauce

@Trish: ... but maybe Todd Palin is f*cking Ben Affleck. - Rodfather

+1 Rodfather - CW™

who gives a Sh*t about about any celebs opinion? - clarke thomas

Bullshit. Disney doesn't make bad movies, let alone *really* bad movies. - John Rubier from twhirl

@clarke We, the public, do. Tabloid journalism sells, so the media gives it to us. And I'm not sure it is tabloid, besides. We give our opinion all the time around here; what is the difference betwixt them besides the media platforms? - Michael W. May

Why are people reading this as if Matt Damon is trying to run for office? He is stating his opinion. It's freaking hilarious whether you agree or not. Just f*cking laugh....geez - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

@Jim @clarke Don't discount someone's thoughts because they happen to be a celebrity. Damon is no slouch, he attended Cambridge Rindge and Latin School in Cambridge, graduating in 1988. He attended Harvard University the same year but left to pursue acting. I'm not saying to sit on the edge of your seat to hear what celebrities say, but we all have a chance to have a voice in the debate whether we are celebrities or not. - tagami

Matt Damon is much smarter than most politicians -- it's not even a contest. - Sean McBride

@mel @michael: the last actor I believe we put in the office was Reagan? and well the press was different then. If these actors/actresses did what they said 1/4 of Hollywood wouldn't be living in the US anymore. The smart ones, don't publicly express their opinion. Anyone who routinely is in the press is a celebrity, no matter if it's a tabloid or not. Scoble is a tech celebrity; would you vote for whomever Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Robert Scoble or Larry Ellison publicly recommended? - clarke thomas

@clarke I am saying I wouldn't discount their opinion out of hand. - Michael W. May

@michael I'd agree on that; but I believe too many say 'well X said they were stupid' so I'm not voting for them. - clarke thomas

@mel: I don't care what he's saying; I care that people consider his opinion more then others' because he's a celeb (& people think b/c of that he's got pull) [oh and I don't give 2 sh*ts about a VP anyhow; they're there to run the House and be the International spokesperson] - clarke thomas

mel, just because I find what he said hilarious, does not mean I can't also believe what he is saying. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Clarke, do you just comment to entertain yourself, or are we expected to gain any intelligent perspective from your comments? Just curious. - jcunwired

Clarke -- I hold Matt Damon's opinions in much higher regard than Sarah Palin's because he is clearly more intelligent than Palin and makes much more sense. Anyone who is a creationist has by definition removed himself or herself from the world of intelligent discourse. (Besides, see Good Will Hunting -- clearly the man is a genius of the highest order. :)) - Sean McBride

@Jody well I have had 1/2 a bottle of Malbec; but anyhow my comments are not based on what Damon said. Sadly from what I read, hear on the streets, or in the office - people do take to heart what celebs say - as if they(celebs) have any better idea then any other US citizen. Just because they have $$$ or had dinner with a candidate doesn't mean they know much. - clarke thomas

One should also add that Matt Damon is an honest, good and decent human being -- for real. It comes through in his work. He's probably too good to be in politics. - Sean McBride

the man makes some good points...how you like them apples - Ryan

Not to be a killjoy - I'm an Obama supporter and all, but, being a critical citizen who pledges allegiance to neither party, i have to point out Matt Damon is just repeating common media hype about Sarah Palin. Do I want to see Sarah Palin in office? God, no. But do I think the criticism being offered about her (as well as every other candidate, past, present and future, McCain and Obama included) is superficial at best and meant to create a knee-jerk reaction? Definitely. - Adam Bohannon

@clarke why can't a celebrity have an opinion? He's an artist, he should have an opinion...and speak it. I value it as much as I do yours. We're talking about it because it's interesting. - Ryan

MATT DAMON!!! MATT DAMON!!! - Internet's Tad

The girl in the middle is creepy. - Randy

No, the pig SLICING HIMSELF FOR DINNER is creepy. GAH! - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Why? All the pigs do it. - Mladen Srdić

in case you can't see it, it actually says on that third one "BEGIN EARLY SHAVE YOURSELF" ...loons... - Zee.

I want that second picture for the wall in my kitchen. - Rochelle

That pig one reminds me of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. - Tanath

The Lysol ad is so freaking awful. Lol thank goodness it's 2008 - Carmen

i love the pig cutting himself in half... - edythe

There's a real creepiness to ads which show animals happily offering themselves for slaughter. ;-) - Chris Baskind

I've always had a peeve about anthropomorphic animals or, even worse, inanimate objects like bread loaves begging consumers to eat them. - Phil G

there's a rib place on Lincoln Blvd with a statue of a pig outside holding a plate in the air. i'll never be able to eat there. - Marie is monkeying around

Oh my gosh... reminds me of that HBO show - Carnivale. - Kim Mahan

It spreads the jelly on the bread, or else it gets the hose again - Josh Haley

I've seen "The Bad Seed" so I know how that one in the middle is going to play out. - Joe Pierce

anyone know where to buy stuff like this online? - Zee.

good god. - Chieze Okoye

good God indeed. - Zee.

Amen. I personally abandoned blog-style layouts a long time ago. Readers won't lament the Long, Long Scroll's demise. :-) - Chris Baskind

Ditto Candace - Amber, Random Time Lord

@Chris that is one of the reasons why I switched to the magazine style for WinExtra along with faster page load time - depending on your hosting service of course and how widget heavy the blog is - Steven Hodson

I like to read via feed. Other items I often follow deep links from sites like Lifehacker. What's good about not having full posts on the front page is that people still often don't know these items roll off that page. Summary-only it becomes clear which page should be emailed/linked. - Ruud Hein

this makes me sad. poor lady. - Veronica

you know she has a point we as a nation have to do something...and I think it's checking out educational system. Wow...that's...wow... - Bryan

the clip's original source is from Sarah Palin's home videos.. - Jeremy Toeman

hahaahaha - tagami

These rainbows cannot be natural. What THE HELL is going on??? I'm freaking out, man. - Paul Reynolds

This was on the Opie and Anthony show a few weeks back. She's got a lot of these weird videos in her stream. Forget what's oozing out of the ground. What the hell is going on in her neighborhood that there's so many sirens. - Ernie Oporto

Oh no, what next, unicorns eating my roses?!? - Alan

We need military intervention here, otherwise these freaking rainbows are going to kill our children. We thought that it could only happen to others, we used to watch it on TV not thinking that it could actually happen in our hometown... Now, it's coming to our backyard, oh my...why??? why??? what did we do??? - Roman L

The communists are adding flourine to our water supply! - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge

I hate rainbows! You'll just be sitting there, minding your own business, and they'll come marching in, and crawl up your leg, and start biting the inside of your ass, and you'll be all like, "Hey. Get out of my ass you stupid rainbows." - Adrian Hannah

Oh, sure everyone, just cover it up. At least she's trying to find answers. I love you, Barbara Henderson! Fight on, you Eco-Warrioress! - Christopher Harley

AWESOME hahaha, this looks great!!! - Robert DeBord

Now we can actually read through Youtube comments as they should be. - Andrew Trinh

I'm always amazed out how easily criminals on TV shows seem to give things up to detectives. - Thomas Hawk

"Whaddaya in for?" "I possessed a lobster of inadequate size" - Jeremy Raines

The great thing about America is that the cops can't use the confession after they beat it out of you. - Gabe

A very good 30min watch. I learned a lot from this video. - AJ Batac

Yeah, I learned a lot too. I'd naturally want to just tell the truth, but it often doesn't matter what the truth is, but what they can possibly convict you of. - Internet's Tad

Here's the officer's response (I haven't watched it yet): http://video.google.com/videopl... - Kevin Fox

This video was surprisingly interesting -- definitely worth watching. Part 2 (the response by the cop, who basically agrees with everything the lawyer says) is also very good: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Paul Buchheit

CSI is the funniest show for confessions, suspects constantly admit to things that either aren't crimes or the police have no evidence of them doing, it'sd be silly if it weren't at least a little true. Everyone should be aware of these things though, if they'll send Martha Stewart to jail, what do you think will happen to you? - Richard Lawler from twhirl

On a similar vein is a how-to guide to handling roadside police encounters: http://www.youtube.com/watch... This video is very in favor of the phrase "I don't consent to any searches" and implies that staying silent can be interpreted as consent, making a warrantless search permissible. - Kevin Fox

Chris Rock's suggestions: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Brian Johns

Bjorn: I find making friends with cops is a good life-strategy. I've been mugged at gun-point twice, and I very much value their help. You also learn interesting trivia. Guess why cops run their fingers in front of your eyes? On Alcohol, most people's eyes will move jerkily sideways. On some drugs, they jerk vertically. Try with friends some time... - Mitchell Tsai

Mitchell: I have friends in law enforcement, some of whom I worked very closely with in years past. I am always very friendly and respectful during police encounters. Having said that, however (unlike most folk) I don't fold like a lawn chair every time I see a badge (e.g. consent to searches.) - Anthony Citrano

I've had friends with fancy cars (esp. women) get pulled over for no other reason than the officer wanted to look at the car/woman. Definitely good & bad in the police force. - Mitchell Tsai

I watched this whole video, interesting. - Jeremiah Owyang

Both parts 1 and 2 are worthwhile. Re the fifth amendment: "Too many, even those who should be better advised, view this privilege as a shelter for wrongdoers. They too rapidly assume that those who invoke it are either guilty of crime or commit perjury in claiming the privilege." - Robert Konigsberg

Yeah Robert, exactly.. I read recently that something like 3/4 of drug arrests are a result of consent searches - e.g. where the officer did not have sufficient cause, but the permission of the searchee waives that need. e.g. "You don't have any drugs or guns in the car, do you?" "No." "Then you don't mind if I take a look, do you?".... - Anthony Citrano

Seriously though, nice article. I doubt that any of the people doing installs now are going to try to be a competitor to identi.ca. Most of them are actively helping Evan out. - Michael C. Harris

Michael, apologies, I should hat tipped it. I spent 4 hours shopping for a birthday present for my wife today, I feel frazzled, so cut me some slack :-) - Duncan Riley

When it's open source, do you call them clones, or is it part of the same thing? - jjprojects

Slack cut, it was way too cold to be shopping today. - Michael C. Harris

Michael, it pissed down when I came out of Chaddy as well...just my luck. JJ, good point, I tossed up alternatives, but clones was short for the headline :-) - Duncan Riley

the open source nature of Identi.ca is going to be fun to watch.. hopefully most dev efforts will go towards helping Evan further develop Identi.ca. - Susan Beebe

Michael, post updated - Duncan Riley
