But great song! - JMakesAwesomeSauce

Does this mean I can't use friendfeed anymore? - James Herbert via twhirl

I'm sure the VC's are pleased with how their investment is being spent. - Jason Carreira

Where are these folks? Journey was big in their country? Was this the official launch of that one-piece? - Christopher Harley

Now I see; it's Cyprus http://www.techcrunch.com/2008... - Christopher Harley

What you all don't realize is this was video of the first FFup... I heard it was a great time. - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)

@JMSmiles thx for the time stamp on that, didn't need to see that exact moment...but yes kinda scary. :) - Jennifer Van Grove

IMHO, both are mediocre. - Mona N. via fftogo

The poll numbers seem to indicate that Mona's sentiment is common. I agree; they're both "not good". - Mattb4rd

I'm curious, what's mediocre about Obama? I don't think he's the best candidate ever, but I highly respect his character and the appearance that he'll truly listen to all sides of an issue and make an informed decision. I haven't followed his political career very closely, so I could be quite naive in my opinion (not about his character, but about his political skills). - Cheryl Jones

You have tapped into something that is very true online. Those that support McCain understand that he is not the best choice and is a flawed offering. Conversely, those online that support Obama are really smitten. This probably plays against McCain, as even the supporters are not as gung-ho. It worries me that many Obama supporters will not admit any weakness. - Eban Crawford

Obama has great vision...but, many people wonder if he will follow through. McCain doesn't really have great direction, but at least you know what to expect from him. - Sean McGee

Then again, when was the last time we had a "good" candidate? That's not a rhetorical question. I honestly can't think of one in recent history -- especially when you measure "good" by the measuring sticks that most of us are -- sticks that more often than not would disqualify you from national politics. - Steve Spalding

Obama has the personality but lacks some of the wisdom required. McCain lacks all personality but has some of the wisdom. They both have decent ideas and like most candidates, either don't actually have their ideas fully developed or suck at explaining them when required. I'm leaning Obama because he still has room to grow and the energy to do it, the House, Senate, Cabinet, and advisers should even out the lack of wisdom in certain areas (usually). Given all of that, I'd consider them both mediocre. - xero

This is going to sound absurd, but part of me believes that we would all be better off if they dropped their running mates and just ran together. - Kevin Donahue

Kevin: Couldn't agree more. That's been my sentiment since after the primaries. lol - Mona N.

Everyone I know who says we have two terrible candidates is voting for one of the other four. - Alan Cheslow

Palin is the deal breaker for me. The more you learn about her the scarier she is. That and I am not going to take another 4 years of this. If Obama doesn't work out at least we get a new direction until the next election. We need a change of pace. - Paulo via twhirl

I think we have only one candidate that makes sense for the future of this country, and his name doesn't start with J and end with N. - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

Alex, I agree, Jackson Brown is definitely not fit for presidency ;-) - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)

I just hope he's brought up to speed regarding oil geopolitics, energy, and our economy lol. At least he shifted his perspective on genocide, which is optimistic to say the least. Hooray for advisors and staff lol. - Mona N.

Mona, advisers and staff are *so* important. I wish they were required to publish a list of who they would like to tap for what to help voters make their decision. - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)

I can't vote, but I think we have 2 stupid candidates. Who would I vote for if I could? Obama for sure. Why? Because McCain is too old and the media is making Obama look better. - Michael Forian

Why do you label Obama as stupid? Because he got a law degree from Harvard instead of a PHD in physics from MIT? - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

you are 100% wrong... even this thread is proving you wrong. many of the Obama people think he is an idiot. I think McCain is the best candidate to come around since Lincoln. I <3 the guy, but you see I'm a moderate that would vote for social spending if the economy were better. many of the people you are talking to are Republicans in better economies. for me if U got it: do good with it,but I don't get adding 800 Billion in spending when we are in debt 700 Billion and planning a bailout of another 700Bil - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ

Noah: since the part about the people I know in real life saying it is true, I'm technically not 100% wrong only 66% ;-) In the realm of idiocy, and in comparison with our current president (who I will grant is 'crafty'), I would in no way call either Obama OR McCain an idiot. I would say that they're both idealistic and naive, but that in no way connotes idiocy or stupidity. - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)

Yeah, NDS's odd comment aside, I'd like to hear why people think that an obviously smart, well educated and knowledgeable person is stupid. - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

Are you sure Obama is naive? Or are you saying that because of his message of Hope, Yes We Can and One America? - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

Calling -either- of them "stupid" seems like a gross simplification. - Steve Spalding

@Alex: It's scary that many seem to see intelligence as a flaw. I'm not saying he's brainiac the magnificent who has all the answers but ... why are so many so quick to throw mud on academic achievement. - AJ Kohn

IMO neither one of these candidates is strong enough, knowledgeable enough, or is willing to face the most important issues in America with a good, decent workable plan that won't drive us further into a hole. However, I'm voting for the one least likely to do damage in the next 4 years while we find a true leader who can make us strong economically and globally. Neither one will be able to do this. However, one will definitely put us in greater danger within the world, kill the middle class as we know - JMakesAwesomeSauce

it, and destroy the spirit of what America was and can be again. I fear for our country and its citizens. We are facing precarious times. This isn't meant to be fear-mongering. It's just how I see things. - JMakesAwesomeSauce

Alex, I say they're both naive (which IMO isn't necessarily a bad thing) for many reasons, one of which is the static nature of their tax plans in the face of the ever changing economic situation. But again, I think a certain amount of naivete is refreshing in a candidate, it makes it feel like there's some 'new blood', a new perspective coming in (and I think that his naivete is part of what draws some people to Obama). - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)

Yeah, Tina I see where that's coming from and if he is actually naive, that will last about 5 seconds when he gets in to the White House. The thing about him is that he's shown incredible poise and cool under the pressure of the election circuit, unlike John McCain. The first term for any president is sink or swim time and John McCain looks like he's got lead weights attached to his feet and he's not wearing scuba gear. - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

the one thing I don't think Obama is.... is stupid... wake up people... the dude is SMART. Very Very Smart... if he were stupid I wouldn't fear him. you people who think you are voting for the Black Forrest Gump got another thing coming. Obama is going to cater to multi nationals like Soros. He is going to use America as a PR vehicle so the rest of the world can destroy itself while all eyes are looking at so called "Green" America. your eyes aren't on the ball. Obama is going to turn America into a a sorority sister in a soup kitchen... and you know what happened to Patty Hearst? - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ

Tina, I don't know if we can afford naivete anymore. Bush has been naive about a lot of things too and look where that has got us. - JMakesAwesomeSauce

No, GW wasn't naive, GW was just plain ignorant. - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

JMS, like I said I think McCain is naive in much the same way (i.e. his econ plan has also remained pretty static). Working from the standpoint that neither one of them has a totally clear picture going in (and really, which president has other than Wasington?), we have to rely on who the winner will chose for the cabinet. That's where the real wealth of experience comes into play. Bush's cabinet was in many ways a nightmare. - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)

about that cabinet.... http://xrl.us/ObamaFascist I'm not ready to pee sitting down just yet. as I said above "Obama is going to turn America into a a sorority sister in a soup kitchen... and you know what happened to Patty Hearst? " Stupid... right? not! - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ

Yeah, Tina...Nightmare on Main Street. Anyhow if he executes on a well thought out strategy for any one of our problems like how he's run his campaign, we should do OK. - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

@Eban: I don't understand how you interpreted my comment to mean that I don't admit Obama has any flaws. He's a politician. Politicians have flaws. Anyway, I could say the same 10 or a 100x over for McCain supporters. Many of his supporters don't even see his campaign's smear tactics as anything out of the ordinary. It's the worst hate mongering I've seen in an election. I haven't heard a lot of substance from him in the debates, either. And don't even get me started on Palin. - Cheryl Jones

All I can gather from McCain in the debates is that he's not willing to accept any kind of timeline to get out of Iraq (probably the biggest thing ailing our economy, beyond the housing bust). And he's adopting some plan to buy up bad mortgages that just benefits the banks again, and not the people struggling to stay in their homes. That $5k health care credit isn't the great idea he believes it is, either. At least Obama is willing to spend on education to help the US improve its dismal standings. - Cheryl Jones

His health care plan isn't all fleshed out, but it sounds more comprehensive than a $5k credit that won't even cover the average health care costs. Plus he seems to have a greater grasp at how important it is to use diplomacy. I don't believe McCain is going to use diplomacy as much as Obama would. Am I wrong in my impressions of the two candidates? - Cheryl Jones

i can haz hide? fishy pics are too much for my sensitive eyes this morning. ;-) Hi, Mark! - .·*♥pea♥*·.

HAAAAAAAAaahahahahahaha!!! Chet, not only do you win the internets for the hour, but I think I might want that phrase on a badge, a tee shirt, or both. - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)

All in red -- is there any other colour? - Brian Sullivan

Yes, there's yellow, and I know an asshat who has one in some snooty grey color. Because it of course makes sense to drive a car that sits 3.5 ft tall when it's the same color as the road =/ - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)

Looking more closely there are a few German and British cars among the Italian -- so there is some originality ;-) - Brian Sullivan

nah, this was a ferrari meet up in europe. spain, i think - Cee Bee

Ferrari also makes cars in black, silver and dark blue. Not sure if they have green or not, but probably not, because that's the color of British racing. - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

I see Ferrari's mostly in black and tangello. LOL at the lonely Porsche - Mo 'Killer Sauce' Kargas

I'd hate to be the valet at the event... - John Worthington

ROFL: "By introducing him at a High School and then stomping and clapping arrhythmically to “La Gasolina,” a song about how this one girl can’t get enough c*m. Really, she just loves the stuff. It’s a poignant reminder of the tough financial times we’re in that several of the students whose Spanish was a little shaky immediately ran to their cars and began masturbating into their gas tanks." BWHAHAHAHA - Faboo Mama

i must be really out of touch...never even heard of this Daddy Yankee...(it almost sounds like a joke). - Zee from WeDoCreative

He's HUGE and quite the crappy reggaeton artist, IMO. - Faboo Mama

Did I misread that, or did McCain actually accept that douchebag rapper's endorsement, then danced to the "sperm song"? - Raoul Pop

i just watchd a couple of his videos an man, he's like a caricature of himself...it's mad! - Zee from WeDoCreative

raoul, yes. you missed that? on the news it was huge and funny because they made this huge PR blitz about it. talking heads were like, "Does he even know who he is?" NONE of them knew what the song was about and failed to meniton it on follow up. - Faboo Mama

I'm totally going to be one of those mothers though, if I ever have a kid. - Monique(AwesomelySaucy)

I agree. It's ridiculous. Parents inflating their social egos through their poor, unsuspecting children. - Akiva Moskovitz

Even sillier when the parents put the kids in expensive clothes and then get mad at the daycare workers because the kid got dirty. I used to get that all the time in the 7 years that I worked in a daycare. I finally stopped trying to be nice about it and would just respond with, "They're kids. Kids get dirty. You might want to consider sending play clothes if that really bothers you." And some did. Pain to keep track off too. - .·*♥pea♥*·.

Those parents treat their kids as accessories. - Faboo Mama

Faboo, those parents remind me of girls in Hollywood (and elsewhere, I guess) who get small dogs to act as accessories rather than actual pets. - Rochelle

Those nutty Dutch people. Gotta love 'em. - Todd Harris

I love the Dutch for so many reasons. Hearing someone with a thick Dutch accent say 'cheers' is amazing. - Toby Graham

in my country we have this variety of carrot. i like the different taste of this variety. - Mahdi Ebrahimi

I've been thinking about buying some heirloom seeds, and one of the varieties of carrot available is a purple carrot. I just think they're gorgeous! - Bec

I see only one kind of carrot in Iran Mahdi, only simple orange carrot.what is other kind carrot in Iran? - saeedeh

i have seen purple and yellow carrot in Iran. purple carrot is more tasty and delicious than other varieties. - Mahdi Ebrahimi

in which part of Iran, you see purple carrot? - saeedeh

Roast 'em for EPIC CARROT-WIN - Iain Baker

is that how they go their national color - orange ?:) - Hayk Hakobyan

Tehran. if you are interested you can go Behjat Abad market above Valiasr St. i hope you find it. - Mahdi Ebrahimi

هویج سوخاریه؟ - Vahid♥Online

thank you :) - saeedeh

Alright Saeedeh .Iran is an extraordinary country in case of variety of fruits and vegetables. - Mahdi Ebrahimi

Bec re: the heirloom seeds, I've been thinking doing the same thing. I'd like purple carrots and purple potatoes and varieties of black and white tomatoes. Mind if I ask where you're looking at buying yours? - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)

@Mr Ebrahimi and saeedeh:purple carrot is locally cultivated in southern parts of iran like hormozgan and some other limited areas:)for more information about colored carrots see http://friendfeed.com/shamim - shamim

Do they help you see better during the DAY? :p - Josh Haley

@ Josh It probably makes one see the ultraviolet spectrum. ;-) - ☺ KevyKev ☺

@Josh Haley :night blindness is a disease due to lack or deficiency of vitamin A which is said to be present in great amounts in carrot and other yellow or bright green colored vegtables.if you have night blindness or vitamin A deficiency I can say that yes It will help you,otherwise just eat it for maintenance of this vitamin pool in your body:)It is essential in health maintenace of retinal cells and their regeneration. - shamim

i have seeds for these carrots. 2 seasons and they've ne
