This is a great reminder > Republicans have bitterly fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have." - Russellreno via Bookmarklet

I've read this story before. Shows you what hypocrites some of the extreme right wingers are. - Jeff P. Henderson

I've had an Apple Newton MessagePad (MP100!) and a Psion Revo. I think the Newton is still on a shelf or in a cupboard somewhere, in an unusable state. :( - Tyson Key

I really like that SHE likes bacon that much. - W!cKeD

Oh my goodness. That's what I want for xmas, right there....the Bacon key, that is. What did you THINK I was talking about? - ♫ Rahsheen™

"There are too many copies and not enough originals. We're experts at cutting up our love. Mature love? We can't even hardly find it in our music. The flag is promiscuous: it'll lay down for anyone, from the Klan to Michelle Obama. Americans love intelligence, but they hate intellect. they love knowledge as a manipulative facility and hate to question its foundations." - Daniel J. Pritchett via Bookmarklet

I love Cornel West. - Valley

I heard there were about 4000 people at the speech last night and that security had to lock the outer doors to keep people from crowding in and causing a fire hazard. West certainly seems to be a dynamic speaker. - Daniel J. Pritchett

"Attorney General Michael Mukasey, the no-nonsense former federal judge who took over the Justice Department after Alberto Gonzales resigned in disgrace, collapsed during a speech Thursday night and was rushed to a hospital after losing consciousness. "The attorney general is conscious, conversant and alert," Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said after doctors admitted Mulsasey to George Washington University Hospital for the night. The 67-year-old Mukasey was delivering a speech to the Federalist Society at a Washington hotel when "he just started shaking and he collapsed," said Associate Attorney General Kevin O'Connor. "They're very concerned."" - MikeAmundsen via Bookmarklet

Records from a cell phone used by President-elect Obama were improperly breached, apparently by employees of the cell phone company, his transition team said Thursday. - Darryl via Bookmarklet

Telcos, iSPs and leading Internet companies are arguably the most powerful organizations on the planet, and also potentially the most dangerous to human liberties. Can you imagine how Google's internal database could be abused by those with a totalitarian bent? - Sean McBride

Collards are likely to be a stretch, probably want to hold off on the vinegar - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

hamhock? psssht. i am a nouveau negro. smoked turkey leg people. smoked turkey leg. (btw, i don't put vinegar or hot sauce *in* with the greens. i leave that for guests to decide.) EDIT: i have a slight preference for salt pork in my greens because that's how my dad makes them. - tiffany

greens = hit. worried for nothing. - tiffany

Something new and original..... - Darryl

JOHN STUART MILL once dismissed the British Conservative Party as the stupid party. Today the Conservative Party is run by Oxford-educated high-fliers who have been busy reinventing conservatism for a new era. As Lexington sees it, the title of the “stupid party” now belongs to the Tories’ transatlantic cousins, the Republicans. - Darryl via Bookmarklet

Whoa! This is cool! - AJ Batac

nice find! - Shey

AJ Batac, correct - you need to be logged into your google account. You need to be logged in somehow :) - Kamath ॐ

"Some are in denial. Some want a return to conservative principles. Some want to cut deals. Some want more filibusters. Others want to jump out a window -- but they're afraid they'd screw that up, too." - Darryl via Bookmarklet

"Former cast and crew members of HBO's The Wire are starting production in Baltimore tomorrow on a new Web series, Life After Lisa, set and produced in Baltimore. The series, which is written and created by Elena Moscatt, who ran the craft services department for The Wire during its five seasons, is set at a small college in the Baltimore area. Moscatt attended Goucher College, according to the series' Website, www.filmfest.com. Two of the actors who will be featured in the Web series are Method Man and Corey Parker Robinson, cast members of The Wire. Robinson played Detective Leander Sydnor, while Method Man played Calvin "Cheese" Wagstaff." - Jason Toney via Bookmarklet

Every P-Funk fan – at least those horny for filmed artifacts of the Mob in its heyday – knows about the 1976 Houston show. Footage from that gig has been released on VHS and DVD multiple times. - Darryl via Bookmarklet

Barack Obama’s rise to power in the United States has exposed cracks in Brazil’s self-image as a racially integrated society, with many seeing the Latin American giant years away from electing a black president. - Darryl via Bookmarklet

Some in U.S. acting out on feeling of loss spurred by election of black president. - Darryl via Bookmarklet

"They just hadn't heard anything like this before," Whoolery stated. "I think the thing that struck us was just like, 'Where did they get the word and why would they put that word and that person together?'" - Darryl via Bookmarklet

Like that idea Lindsay :) - V for Veselka

hmmmm...I've read to much about the Eugenics Movement during the early part of the last century to be comfortable with that idea. - Katy Southern

For real? I don't know why, but this surprises me. - Cecily

Uh-oh. This means white people are going to find out about Ebony. Almost all kidding aside, it will be interesting to see if white people do actually buy Ebony. The ads alone will be an education in cultural awareness. - Anika Malone

It argues that the 23-member grand jury that returned the indictment had just two white members and could not have been fair and impartial. - Darryl via Bookmarklet

Fry him? You mean in a vat of vegetable oil? Can I have the crisped skin with smoked chipotle season salt, please? And a cold beer? Thanks! - RefD

"Rahm Emanuel Facts are as awesome as Chuck Norris Facts — except 100% true!" - tehKenny via Bookmarklet

Sean, do you have a reference for that please? - Jeanine Walters via fftogo

Jeanine -- See Stephen Zunes' article in the Huffington Post today on this topic -- read the fine print carefully -- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/... There are hundreds of other articles on this topic -- try Googling [rahm emanuel israel OR aipac OR iraq OR iran]. This is an appalling appointment. One or two more similar appointments, and Obama's base will turn on him with force. - Sean McBride

Inspired by Barack Obama, the French first lady and other leading figures say it's high time for France to stamp out racism and shake up a white political and social elite that smacks of colonial times. - Darryl via Bookmarklet

see, this is the beautiful part of this, that change is not something that stops at national borders, that good people around the world will again look to us as something to emulate, not because it will line their pockets, but because it is the right thing to do... spreading democracy not by ramming it down throats, but by leading by example... OUI NOUS POUVONS. - Karim

I'm not holding my breath. There have been so many race riots in France in the last 20 years and everyone just kind of ignores it, 'Well, they're Afghani, they're African...what are you going to do?" The white French people I know just say it's being sensationalized and that they should be lucky they're allowed to protest. Sigh. - Anika Malone
