@bfegter unfollowed me and @leolaporte because we dared talk about our political views. I refuse to be stuck in a box here on Twitter.
How dare you and Leo! - PC Easy from twhirl
Horses for courses - do you really care they unfollowed you? If I get sick of politics (or anything else) I hide the bits I don't want to see or ignore it. And go to the 'No Politics Allowed' FF room.... - WorldofHiglet
Isn't unfollowing and making a statement about it a political act. Hmm. - Micah Wittman from twhirl
when it comes to politics . you don't have to agree , you do have to listen , that's the whole point - Carl Backstrom

I'm an Independant, and I'm still unconvinced who to vote for. Unfortunately in Utah that doesn't matter.
Be true to yourself. - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
gotta move to Nevada we're a battle ground state! I'm still on the fence not sure what I'm going to do - Carl Backstrom
Hopefully eventually I can have a difference in getting Orin Hatch out of office. He drives me nuts. - Jesse Stay from twhirl

Vesper (cocktail) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
Bond laughed. "When I'm...er...concentrating," he explained, "I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. I hate small portions of anything, particularly when they taste bad. This drink's my own invention. I'm going to patent it when I can think of a good name." - Carl Backstrom

Have you seen the Russian movies "night watch" and "day watch"? I'm going to rent on iTunes.
Night Watch was good, and crazy.. Day Watch was confusing.. and crazy. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
both of them were good , but the books were way way better - Carl Backstrom
Jeremiah - don't recommend them at all. - ideali
@favorited first time i watch it, i like the special FX, but when i was watching this movie second time, i think what a boring thing they released at all. it's just for spending time, once. - ideali
I haven't seen either movie, the second was straight to DVD right? Isn't it part of a trilogy? - Joe Dawson
the second was released in theatres, at least in Russia. And there is the Twilight watch book, so it might become a trilogy. and we all hope it won't - Peter Fedin
It's a trilogy, the site says so http://www.foxsearchlight.com/daywatc... - Jeremiah Owyang
Same director did the Angelina Jolie action flick WANTED - Roger @ CineVegas

It's such a failure of our newsmedia that the first we hear of a conflict is after the first bombs drop. #Georgia #Russia #Ossetia
I agree. I knew things have been "tense" for sometime but an actual shooting war? Wow, that was a surprise. - Steve
give them time they are all focused on #080808. They can not be as agile as us. How can they follow the cloud, when the cloud doesn't know where it is going yet. - Jonathan Ferguson
Isn't anyone thinking of the CELEBRITIES? Damn news media! - abacab
But that's when it's sensational... - Clay Newton
the problems Georgia and Russia have been well know for awhile , ever since the Rose Revolution. Kinda why Georgia wants to join NATO , so Russia doesn't invade them....... oh wait - Carl Backstrom
Looks like we are back into 19th century "spheres of influence" politics. You'd think after the Cold-War everything would have been peachy. - Stephen James
Its also funny that twitter reports are faster than the AP now. - The Dude Dean
The Dude - that's nothing new. A mailing list I was on heard about 9/11 before the media did. - Earle Martin

Has twitter committed, to a date, in having IM (xmpp) outgoing restored?
serious is a real pain not being able to use the IM client - Carl Backstrom
No, but they are claiming on Get Satisfaction that they're almost done a complete re-write of the Twitter IM engine. However, they're going to stabilize their other aspects of the service, such as web and the api, before releasing IM again so that they don't have to immediately take it down again. :/ - Chris Thomson

Leftist blogger spits on soldiers' graves in NJ - http://reversevampyr.blogspot.com/2008...
what a horrible f'n person - Carl Backstrom
I couldn't even watch a quarter of this. What a class act. One thing though, this guy no more represents the left than Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptists represent the right. He is seriously on the fringe. - Michelle Martinez
Sounds like a right arsehole. - Chris Nixon
thank you, michelle. - edythe
Except to get attention, I fail to see why anyone in their right mind would do such a thing. Disgraceful. The only thing this guy represents is "crazy." - Vince DeGeorge
Like Michelle's great comment, just goes to show we have plenty of loons on the left. - Chris Reed
Well said, Shel - Michael W. May from twhirl
I think FF needs a DisLike button! - Victor Ryden

The whole scene with Michael Winslow in Spaceballs. But especially when they walk over and he keeps speaking into the intercom: "I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE RADAR, SIR!" "You don't need that. We're right here." He repeats it without the intercom mic and it still sounds the same. Then Rick Moranis loses it, and rips the mic out of the console. I laugh. Really hard. - Mark Warren

@Cecily Walker - yeah, that's a favorite of mine too! - JA Castillo
