"Saying that correcting misinformation does little more than reinforce a false belief is a pretty controversial proposal, but the claim is based on a number of studies that examine the effect of political or ideological bias on fact correction." - Rick Powell via Bookmarklet

A partial explanation as to why some folks still think Sarah Palin is a credible candidate. - Rick Powell

....thousand times the capacity of the sampler we used to record our debut LP. We're sounding a little rusty, but still talking to each other, and looking forward to playing again: hurrah! - Iain Baker

Very smart move by eBay. Did they really announce 2 acquisitions this morning? Is the DBA deal real or just still rumor? - Rob Diana

Rob: Forgive my self-promotion, but I couldn't quite understand the DBA.dk deal either, so I did a little research and now I think I know why they boiught it. http://www.thebetanews.com/eba... - Dennis Bjørn Petersen via twhirl

So, eBay is looking to rev up Kijiji. Not a bad strategy actually. - AJ Kohn

@Jason, I was hoping this would also remind you to MOVE HER. I got ZERO sleep. - Cyndy

If say something about mind readers, how many will jump on me for it? *smirk* - Michael W. May

You had time to post a video, but not to IM me? - Jason Carreira

"Virginia Republicans are warning that John McCain's prospects for winning a state that has been in the GOP column in every presidential election since 1964 could be in jeopardy. With Barack Obama treating the Old Dominion like a battleground state and reliable polls showing a margin-of-error race there, some are cautioning that McCain is making a critical mistake by allowing the Democratic nominee to outpace him in terms of visits and resources committed." - Russellreno via Bookmarklet

He's already polling an average of a couple points behind Obama (and as many as 10 points behind) - Jason Carreira

That looks like an Office Space moment :) - imabonehead

You can tell you know too much about booths when you think "OMG... I'd love to get the chance to nap under the boxes for a while." :D - Cyndy

hah! - Lindsay Donaghe via Bookmarklet

Wow; my phone has terrible automatic white balance. - Benjamin Golub

Is that Pittsford? - Cyndy

yeah, it looks like it - Susan Beebe

Nexus of the universe. - Megen Vo

Huh? What? Who? - Cyndy

Ben and Kevin Fox - hey, Cyndy we should go crash the party! - Susan Beebe

hurrah! - dkb

Ruth, Texas! Jason, I have been working on him for MONTHS. I stopped by to take him a birthday gift and they were griping about the economy and talking about already lived through one Depression and not wanting to live through another and I seized the opportunity. - Trish R

Hey.. I didn't have to do a THING to get that to happen. McCain did it himself. I had a family full of Obama haters who were voting for McCain until he chose his running mate. Saved a LOT of family arguments, that did. - Cyndy

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is accusing Democrat Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists" for his association with a former 1960s radical. - Chris Baskind

+1 anna. thought the same thing when I heard Palin say that during the debate. it's actually kind of difficult to have a diverse family. /smirk - Jon Price

LOL@anna, good one. At least as bad an attack at the far right, Biden should come out and accuse Palin of palling around with a lesbian. - Shout out 2Jody

If that makes me shallow, I don't care. - Trish R

It's ok, I've pretty much dumped social networking all together because it's constant Obama dribble. - Mike Lewis

Well darn, and I was gonna dribble. :) Good for you Trish! +10 for both Jimmy and Charlie. - Shout out 2Jody

At the rate things are going, Mint will be useless altogether if it only accepts certain banks. You never know who's going to go under or get bought! - Cyndy

Not as pretty but I like it more than mint: https://moneycenter.yodlee.com... - Robert DeBord

It keeps forgetting my credentials, has since over a year ago. - Jesse Stay

Awwww.... someone's in a bad mood! :) - Lindsay Donaghe

@Mark - I believe it's pow(10,-1) microseconds. - Yuvi

I think I will change mine back tomorrow. Sorry Yuvi. - Roberto "Maverick" Bonini

I have to wonder if this week's Digg purge is enough to give MIxx some critical mass. I love the site, but it's such an underperformer. - Chris Baskind

Honestly, I wish I could care, but I don't. It's political traffic decision-making. - Cyndy

And here I thought it was a knife, some Foster's, and a bloomin' onion. - Cyndy

I met an Australian recently, and asked him about Bloomin' Onions . He laughed and said he'd never heard of them and he'd extensively traveled across Australia. He also had the same opinion of Fosters as I. He prefers good beer. - Ian May

"It is so incredibly rare that you would think Siamese twin fish attached at the stomach would never survive. But at eight months old, these two Nile Tilapia fish in Thailand have found the perfect way to cope with life upside down... or the right way up if you're the lucky twin. The bigger fish protects its smaller sibling on the bottom, while it in turn looks for food." - Cee Bee via Bookmarklet

Not to burst your bubble Cyndy, but Tilapia are the bottom feeders of the fish farm industry. They primarily feed on the waste of the more valuable fish that are raised. Dirty Jobs FTW. - Jason Huebel

tilapia are now farm raised en masse as they fully grow to adulthood in about half the time as most other fish. that's why they're so popular at restaurants, eateries and seafood spots - Cee Bee

I'm still failing to understand why, when we have tons of empty space here, we need another large office building that will be left vacant at some point. - Cyndy

I agree! Mid-town is in good condition and should have been repurposed. Unfortunately, only 21% of the metro population lives in the city and most of them are poor and cannot afford to support the businesses and shops found in thriving cities. Middle and upper-income suburbanites who can shop closer to home. - John Lam

YES!! she is NOT fit for OFFICE no matter what party she is affiliated with. Her lack of qualification is such a huge gap it is utterly astounding to me that she was even considered for such a noble and serious executive office position. I am disgusted that the Republicans have insulted my intelligence to throw such a colloquial candidate out in the lime light in the hopes of garnering votes...what a cheap, low shot - despicable. - Susan Beebe

Charles LePage: does Sarah Palin sound like someone who is qualified to serve as vice president or president? "As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there, they are right next to our state." - Sean McBride

WHY??? - Cyndy

go to store...by this cheap candy and be done with it. Cyndy is right WHY?! - Susan Beebe

Recipe: Write it on an index card, put it in a metal box, and never look at it again. - Russellreno

I know, it's cheap at the store, but why not post up the recipe? doing this candy corn blog is fun! - Rob Williams

Ummm...This is free speech....In today's online world, this is NOT yelling fire in a crowded theatre. Whoever sold because they believed this, they're idiots IMO. - Sean McGee
