I weep for the USA. - CW™

You Betcha! - Jeff P. Henderson

Maybe she'll go to Rev3? - l0ckergn0me

great, politics meets tech meets the Alaskan bush :? - Comickey

Fey and Palin are already set for life ... regardless. This isn't going away - Charlie Anzman

how would she have time to do a TV show? Does she plan to move from Alaska? - Phillip Jeffrey

I dunno, if SNL last night was any indication, it would be awkward and just bad. So very, very bad, don'cha know. - jbean

The Palins. Watch them shoot wolves from a plane, speak in tongues, and bust meth labs. - Rodfather

Yea absolutely, her presence was amazing! Too bad she's on the wrong team. It looked like she was crying inside though. I can't imagine doing what she did. - E.B.

Are you kidding me? She was HORRIBLE. She didn't do ANYTHING!!! - Jeff McCord from twhirl

Sarah Palin: Avoid The Press, each and every Sunday Morning, you guess the station/network, she's not going to tell you - David Blumenstein from twhirl

I'm not sure if the world is ready for a host with that accent. I do like her politics, though. I thought her selection was definitely responsible for getting McCain a chance in the race. - Douglas Karr from twhirl

+1 David. - Eric Geller

I can totally see that, she and John loose in November, she returns to Alaska, Fox puts her under contract to show America how government works, reality TV style. - Brian Blankenship

hahahahahaa! - Susan Beebe

it'll be reality, on Bravo. - Patricia

but isn't Maverick taken as title? - denise

It bugs the crap out of me, too. I like to lash outward, rather than inward. I'm going to start running around with a fork, soon. Folks better watch out. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

Better stock up on Sporks - Michael W. May from twhirl

Amen Veronica. - Hal Rottenberg from twhirl

Couldn't agree more! - orionstarr

I'll have to stock up on corks to protect me from Mark. "Not mother?" - Alex Scoble

Lindsey, I'm sure they exist, but I haven't seen them ;) - Veronica

A part of me hates it but a part of me thinks it's good. Shouldn't we be passionate about presidential politics? I'd rather have that than apathy. That said, it wears me out when I get sucked in ... yet it's important damn it! If I can muster another back and forth on SEO or FF3 or anything else ... can't I do the same for a presidential election? *sigh* Time for LOLcats. - AJ Kohn

AJ, perfect idea! Every time I see a stupid comment, I'm giving myself a LOLcat chaser. - Veronica

Liberal use of hide today on FriendFeed. - ha3rvey (doesn't dance) from fftogo

I think that as long as people are civil in their discussions that public discourse is a great thing. And it's good fun, to boot! - Alex Scoble

I think it's because I don't like competition... it's why I don't engage in PvP, and why I don't argue about politics! Heh. - Veronica

Passionate debates over politics are central to our democracy. Frankly, I'm sad that it seems so CONTAINED to the Internet. - Kevin Hessel

I agree Veronica, it shouldn't about competition, per se. It should be more about learning and sharing than who's right and who's wrong...then again when someone says something wrong, I'll definitely let them know, in the most civil way possible...most of the time. I think I remember writing a post where I called a certain class of people idiots, but I'm feeling a lot better now. :) - Alex Scoble

Plus, I don't think it's good business for you to piss off half your viewership one way or another for Tekzilla... - Live4Emma (L4S)

Why, so we can go back to the important business of blogging about blogging, twittering about twitter, and iPhoning about iPhone? Hard to imagine a more important thing to "squabble" about than the future of our nation and our world. What bugs me are the children who can't have a civil discussion or restrain themselves from personal attacks. Also agree with Lindsey - there are some very constructive, civil discussions occuring, and I'm glad. - Anthony Citrano

Just wait until we can Digg for our President... - Jason Wong

no matter who wins they are just puppets on strings does it matter? - orionstarr

Sarah Palin is hot! I mean hot. Veronica... I ain't squabbling. I'm salivating - Noah David Simon

Do what I did, hide or close pages of squabbles. Then start to spam people with cyber hugs, lolcats, caramell dansen videos and cute overload pictures. It's working. - Candace

Squabbles are exactly what they are. Hiding is the true power of FriendFeed! - Paul Reynolds

Yeah! Why can't we go back to discussing *important* stuff, like Twitter, Friendfeed itself, or the latest iPhone? I mean, who really cares whether we bomb Iran, or if we get quality healthcare, or what kind of energy policy we have? - Eric P

the problem I have is wading past the uninformed takes too much energy - Hal Rottenberg from twhirl

Yes Paul Reynolds loves to block people. He wants to surround himself with people who think just like him. Never wants to hear opposing views. - Michael Tefft

@Veronica: I hate to make it worse for you but you're gonna have to wait until April or May. It will take a few months after the inaguration for the winners gloat to wear off. - ChiliMac from twhirl

Eric, don't play that card. There's a big difference between having an intelligent conversation and mud-slinging. That's what I'm sick of. - Veronica

Noah, you're right, she is pretty hot. - Veronica

I have to admit I wasted my day fantasizing about being on a desert island with Sarah..., but when the dream was over I wiki-d her and she is exactly the kind of leader our country needs. I would vote for her over Obama or McCain. She is a woman that takes her issues seriously and lives what she preaches. - Noah David Simon

Well McCain's publicity stunt worked on Noah, is anyone else buying into this? Cause we could really use another four more years of Bush. ugh. - Percival

MEMEME - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

Me. I never succumb to that sort of thing. - Akiva Moskovitz

...said that lamb in a suit - Josh Haley

I have no such thing! - Michael

Me! - Araceli

I love myself too much to turn Manga... - George Smith

mine's not changed. yet. - Eleonora

- am I the only who thought of this...as it pertains to the manga meme? http://bit.ly/14HGO9 - JA Castillo

DO IT! - Jim Bednarz

- can I have your Macbook Pro when you upgrade? - JA Castillo

I will get one soon :) - justine

nah ... cake beats pie - Deepak Singh

Both are heaven if my mom made it. She's the best cook/baker of all time. Seriously! - ·[▪_▪]·

3.14... Forever - Jennifer

The cake is a lie. - Chrimmus Tad

It's hard to deny a hawaiian dream cake though - Rodfather

cold cake. oh yes. - Josh Haley

You convinced me. Time for some apple pie for an afternoon snack. - Loren Heiny

No... way... cake beats any pie, easily... except perhaps Pecan Pie, or some chocolate peanut butter pie - Nathan Chase

Cake all the way. Pie doesn't have frosting. - Angela Bull from twhirl

My response to "pie vs cake" continues to be "prime rib." - R. Francis Smith

+1 Nathan for Pecan Pie. Although I'd argue *Chocolate* Pecan Pie. Yum! Got a pointer to the recipe for the chocolate peanut butter pie in question? :-) - Joanmarie

hair pie! - Noah David Simon

No way, I'm cake gal all the way. Frosting is my weakness...and if you factor in that chessecake is still cake, well...hands down cake wins! - Jennifer Van Grove from twhirl

finally, mr. class weighs in. shame on you! - Wilma Stoneflint

A good Red Velvet cake beats any pie! - Michael Thorp

Pie is definitely better than cake. And both are better than cookies. I despise cookies....they're just little fake cakes. - Angel Smith

now cupcakes are totally different than cake, cupcakes rock! - Jeff Woelker from twhirl

when i drove across the country, i ate pie at every available opportunity. it was like a little piece of americana at every stop! - Veronica

this statement is only valid if you don't include cheesecake. Cheesecake is, by definition, the best thing on earth - Erik Jonasson

red Velvet trumps any pie - Bob Blunk

All cake completely owns all pie. It's true. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

IMHO: Ice Cream > Cake > Cookie > Cheesecake > Doughnut > Pie > Cupcake > Pudding > Jello - Nathan Chase

cake >>>>> pie - Morgan

chocolate cake > pecan pie > carrot cake > cherry pie > vanilla cake - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Always prefer cake. But I guess that's why I need supplemental insulin. - Jeff

Really depends on the kind of pie... chocolate cake can top pretty much anything, unless it's chocolate pie. Or a delicious slice of apple pie. - Jessica

Definitely agree that it depends on the kind of pie/cake. A well made apple pie beats out pretty much everything & anything. - Robert DeBord

pretty sure tiramisu is considered "cake". so it's Cake FTW - tiramisu was put on this earth as an offering to women as consolation of having to endure childbirth :) - Dana Coffey

Check the Apple Caramel or Bruiseberry at http://www.doorcountypies.com. - marc britten

Depends. Do you believe cheesecake goes into the pie category, or cake? Cheesecake takes other desserts out behind the woodshed. - DGentry

in the case of a tie, there is a hierarchical system of the the symbols which i cannot ever hope to understand. :) - kk+

tep - Victor from twhirl

yep - Victor from twhirl

reminds me of my days with my pocket pc. the pretty to look at ipaq 4350. the problem was it'd dump all my data when it crashed and the only way back was a hard restore. - sean808080

It seems with these smart phones the more apps you install the more unstable they get. - Steve Helder from twhirl

more you install the more unstable they get? Sounds like the average Windows PC! - Ian May from twhirl

A lot of iPhone apps guys are saying v. 2.0 of the software was rushed and that v 2.1 (due very shortly) should be much more stable. - Andrew Leyden

Never had such problem before 2.0 on my 2G iphone. The thing is jailbroken 1.4 iphone was a lot more stable than current 2.0 one. It rarely crashed and had very little lags. Apple needs to learn from hacking community I guess. - Inksim

Mine is throwing "No SIM card installed" errors. Going to try a restore but I'm betting I need a replacement... - Lisa McMillan

before I bought my first Nokia's top-of-th-line smartphone back in 1995 I had thought that Symbian rocks, but it failed me many times including crashing while having phone conversation! - Pajama Domain from twhirl

opps I meant 2005 :) - Pajama Domain from twhirl

Many people are reporting that a hard restore and starting from scratch fixes the problems. So far so good on my phone. - Leo Laporte

Karma got you Leo. You told Belmont that your phone was fine when she was bemoaning her iPhone woes. - Jeff Jones

Too many apps? Also I only had a few hundred MB free. We'll see! - Leo Laporte

I tweeted back, it sounds like a software refresh coming for the early adopters. Apple shipped too quick without giving them a beating like we would.. hmm blog posting coming - Chris Miller

I had to do it a couple times with my iPhone 2G. I also had it get into some sort of crazy infinite loop once the screen wouldn't go off and it got blazing hot. I left it on my lap hoping it would catch fire, instructing those around me to have their camera's and lawyers cell numbers readily available. - Geoff Schultz

Remember when you didnt have to restore phones? - Will from Alert Thingy

I predict 2 years...coincidentally the same length as your service contract. :P - Stresa from twhirl

Not often! oh btw i love twitter in the i check out .. Twitter/pickensplan - Bearclawcoffee

I'm not keeping count, but it's a lot more with 2.0 software than before. My unreliable impression: it used to be every few months. Now it's every few days. (on first gen HW) - Michael Markman

I'm having problems with 2G w/ 2.0 that I think are MobileMe related, yesterday push contacts stopped working for awhile, today I'm not getting email - Robert Hafer

Mine hung this morning as I was trying to power it down. Right after syncing some new apps via tether. Holding down the home and power buttons for a few seconds seemed to reset it. Hope Apple stabilizes this soon. - wrecks

Logging into MobileMe fixed my problems both times - Robert Hafer

How is the cpu and speed of the new iphone, is it faster compared to the old one? - Thomas

It looks like I'm going to have to do it too. I only had four apps on my phone, but my 3G isn't working properly (returning mysterious error messages) and after an hour with tech support and a call to apple the only solution offered is a hard restore. - Briana Tomkinson

Shaun I think most people having problems were upgrading from 2G iPhones. The 3G is my first and Ive had no problems other than the rare crash - Paul Reynolds

Leo, I think you are right about upgrading apps via wireless, I just tried and it broke the app. The iPhone switched from wi-fi to edge during update. - Robert Hafer

it's a light rail system in san francisco. - Veronica

Just be glad you don't live in North Haverbrook. - XDpaul

ick, it's like Tetris only with more inappropriate touching - Neil Weisenfeld

LOL @ neil - Moved to Facebook from fftogo

Do the Mr. Roboto move in front of the train door and people will move out of your way... - Pokai

Paris Metro, 5 pm...one thing I don't miss - Bren -- Not Grinchy
