I am all about the Ultimate Fighter Finale tonight! Got the DVR going! It should be a great event. The fights have been the best yet! - Jeff Day

"Stupid French...the country is going to be in islamic hands if they are not careful...oh well. I guess they will just move to Germany or England." - Jeff Day
A comment by a Digg'er "Better to die on our feet upholding the law than live by abandoning the principles our country was founded on" Pretty much my sentiments exactly, I live in Oklahoma I've seen domestic terrorism I've seen the families it effects and the empty chairs at the memorial for those that died. It's a risk we take when we choose to live free and stand up for those freedoms and lead by example. - Geoff Schultz
Couldn't agree more, Geoff. What has terrified me the most in the past few years are these situations that seemed to suggest we changed our fundamental beliefs. This SCOTUS decision was very good news. - Shellee
HOrrible, horrible decision...these people are not even CITIZENS of the U.S How does our law even apply??? - Jeff Day
They are still human beings, some of them are even possibly innocent. All this decision does is ask that those holding these people prisoner prove they are guilty. Wouldn't you expect the same if you were detained for no reason in another country? - Geoff Schultz
Totally in agreement with Geoff. Freedom and Liberty entail grave risks. Too many Americans have died for our Freedoms to curtail them now as Scalia and his ilk would like to do. - Tad Goes to 11
It's a good movie. Everything Shyamalan does is great. - Svartling
Totally - look away from the light, Carol Ann!!! - Steve Isaacs
I liked this movie, but took nothing away from it. It is rather predictable though. - Enrique Gutierrez
via twhirl
Overall I liked it, but the "surprise" ending was far too predictable. - Brandon Wood
I had to respond to "Everything Shyamalan does is great". The Sixth Sense is his only end-to-end great movie. Other movies had glaring flaws, either related to plot, pace or ending. And Lady in the Water was an unmitigated disaster. - Carter Rabasa
My favorite is "Signs". It's fabulous! - Svartling
"Everything Shyamalan does is great" -- well, that is partially true, because all of his movies end eventually, which is great. It's the part in between the beginning and the ending that is not so great. - Jeremy Brooks
It is only worth seeing if you have somehow made it all these years without ever hearing anything about it. Even then, it is not great. - Jordan
just wait till you see "The Happening". Let's just say you might want to go the the budget show, or wait until it comes out on DVD. - Jeff Day
Shyamalan is trying to too hard to come up with the "revelation" ending for all of his movies. Now I find myself just waiting for the "a ha" moment and the last few just haven't been able to meet the 6th Sense threshold. - George Lee
via twhirl
Probably the best "a ha" moment in a movie better than the end of the 6th Sense is the one of Usual Suspects... don't you think ? - Fabien Spina
The movie isn't bad, has some good suspense, but is part of the downward spiral of Shyamalan's career ending hopefully in "the happening" (read: terrible movie) - Tony
The Happening is so awful it's actually interesting just for its awfulness. - Dave Winer
Here's the twist at the end: it was Earth all along. What a twist! - Mark Trapp
The real tragedy is I've yet to figure out how to make chocolate, bacon, and cheese work in one dish. I don't think it is possible :( Seems you can only chocolate cover something or cheese melt something, not both. - Michael W. May
@Michael - What about a grilled cheese with slices of the chocolate covered bacon inside? ... On second thought, I might have just made myself sick. - Yolanda
I agree these suggestions are out of hand! - Stefan Hayden
There is meat-flavored water though... no joke. In fact, bacon might be involved. - Mark Dykeman
i know there is a turkey and gravy flavored soda.....i would never try it...but o each his own. - Jeff Day
Back in the 80's in Shreveport, La there was a soda called "cajun cola" that was actually spicey. It was pretty much a novelty and never really took off. I can remember trying it as a kid. It was a litlte too much - Brian Acklen
via twhirl
omg, traditional joke of Russians on Ukrainians "сало в шоколаде" (bacon in chocolate) comes true... omg... lol... - silpol
so if we are splitting hairs, what is the big deal? - Jeff Day

Mostly I just thought it was crude and pandering for ratings. - Geoff Schultz
if that is the worst thing said about her she will get out of this thing pretty unscathed. - Jeff Day
via fftogo
Now that is something we can both agree on :) - Geoff Schultz
If nothing else it will help Obama with his "street cred" - Jeff Day
via fftogo
@Jeff - it makes it sound as if Michelle is only the mother of his child, not his wife. In other words, some woman he slept with and presumably doesn't have much of a relationship with as opposed to the woman he married. - Yolanda
It's just sad when comments come up that would not come up if they were a white couple - Stefan Hayden
look...Obama is a big boy, he knew what he was getting into. The press is merciless on BOTH SIDES. As a conservative, I have been extremely disappointed about things that have been said about our President and his family which were blatently abusive and untrue. Unfortunately that is what politics in our fine country has come to: who can say the most shocking thing about another person...true or not...it is rediculous. - Jeff Day
via fftogo
I doubt Obama cares. It's just a comment that come across as racist. - Stefan Hayden
It isn't really intended to hurt Obama personally. It is intended to alienate him from anyone who happened to be watching. The language was used as a political tool. - Geoff Schultz
and by political tool, you mean the same political type of tool that abc, cbs, nbc et.al use right? - Jeff Day
via fftogo
I didn't even know ABC CBS NBC had news anymore, I thought they just had reality tv shows. - Geoff Schultz
lol george....i know what you mean brother...I think the best "news" is on the internet and in conversations like this one. - Jeff Day
Wow, what idiot at Fox didn't see that becoming a massive faux pas? - Soup
Statement clarified a bit: "Hillary Clinton is willing to take the vice presidential slot on a Barack Obama presidential ticket, New York lawmakers tell CNN." - Andrew Dobrow
Who cares. They are both showing themselves to be huge liabilities. Neither will win in Nov. combined or not. I wish we had a real choice in Nov. - Jeff Day
via fftogo
You always have a choice, just write in that amazing magical unicorn of a candidate. - Geoff Schultz
Hillary reported as saying roughly, "I'll do whatever I can to help us win." Us being her and Obama. Jeez. Talk about ruthless. She does NOT want to lose. Whatever it takes. - Andrew Dobrow
@Andrew: Sloppy writing by Politico's Ben Smith. "Roughly" as in approximately or harshly? - Robert Stevens
Way to use FriendFeed #132: Live blogging history in the making. - Andrew Dobrow
@Robert: Not sure. I'm guessing that is the gist of what she said, just not the exact words perhaps. - Andrew Dobrow
Rep. James Clyburn, the No. 3 Democrat in the House of Representatives and a superdelegate, endorses Obama. (No surprise here. African American, Democratic congressional Whip) - Andrew Dobrow
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), 3 DE Supedelegates Endorse Obama; Delegate Countdown - 12 To Go to clinch - Andrew Dobrow
Yeah, that power-hungry Waters switches from Clinton at the last minute.... Nice.... - Chris Reed
Jimmy Carter backs Obama. Go figure. Who knew? - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ
Maryland superdelegate and DNC AAPI Caucus Chair Belkis (Bel) Leong-Hong announced today that she is endorsing Barack Obama for President - 10 or 11 delegates to go, depending on who you talk too. - Andrew Dobrow
Yea,I fell asleep. For those who don't know, Obama is now the presumptive democratic nominee. - Andrew Dobrow
She's said this publicly before, always followed-up by "but I think the voters of [insert latest Clinton victory state here] have different ideas on who should be on the top of that ticket" - Kevin Fox
Biatch. I can't stand people who feel entitled as much as she does. I can't wait until we hear the last of the Clintons. And the Bushes for that matter. - David Risley
there is NO WAY this will happen...obama is not only buying hillary, he gets bill too. he won't want that. - Jeff Day
via fftogo
why would Obama choose a republican <G>? It's not going to happen. - Doug Brooks
I'm not sure I'd feel safe with her as a VP if I were Obama...after all this? - cmiper
He'd be doing himself an injustice by choosing Hillary. The campaign has been too messy and too ugly. - Andrew Dobrow
Wonder if we'll actually hear substance now instead of "hope" and "change" speeches borrowed from other people. - Michael Beck
She can be interested all she wants. We don't want her. - Chris Reed
Never say never. The party leaders may be pressuring both sides to show some "love" and prove that they can be a united party. Agree with Louis about the real breaking news. - Dave Ploch
I hope that never happens. Would not want to see her in the VP spot for the same reason that I wouldn't want her as a Prez. She's too combative and stubborn and will go against everything that the Prez would do, and will only create conflict. It would be a disaster. - Raoul Pop
Instead she said, roughly, "I'll do whatever I can to help us win." http://www.politico.com/blogs/... LOL! Is that roughly as in "approximately" or roughly as in "harshly"? ;>) - Robert Stevens
Congrats! We are 7 weeks into our first - I'll avoid all the cliches - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
This bubbled up again! So... the update is that we are at week 34. My wife's already been having contractions, but is on pills (every 4 hours) to stop them, and let the kids bake a little longer. The pills stop next week. Yes, they are our first and second. - Louis Gray
I would love twins but with three children already I don't think I could handle more! - Joe Dawson
Congrats. We are 1.5 years into our first. The first months are amazing. I'm curious how it is going to affect your post frequency. Good luck during the labour. Stay positive for your wife. - Jon-Paul Bussoli
I should say, tested for the first time in MMA. I've seen him beat on Youtube before. - Bwana
very good fight, but he has a LONG way to go before he is in the league of any of the top fighters in the world. His cardio looked HORRIBLE. - Jeff Day
via fftogo
I think I'm going to have nightmares about that ear exploding! - Jay Martin
Oh yeah he's definitely got a long road ahead. The exploding ear was ridiculous. All these guys in MMA have the cauliflower ears and I've never seen one explode from a punch. That's crazy man. - Bwana
Note to Douchebags, this cartoon says, "I don't leave West Texas unless someone is paying me." I put this into FriendFeed to demonstrate how to use FriendFeed's "Share" bookmarklet to put graphics into FriendFeed's stream. - Robert Scoble

well, being from West Texas myself, I must agree with that sentiment...no where else I'd rather be, and I HAVE been there... - Jeff Day

toothpaste. ever seen some of those national geographic specials? wow. - Jeremy Toeman
I think the fact of a giant metal bird flying over would have traumatised them enough already. Civilisation has a pretty good abiility to destroy native cultures, even when it's not trying to. The whole area should, in my opinion be turned into a no-fly zone. - Slippy Lane
I would give them a mirror, that orange paint seriously! How can they think that helps them when they are out hunting. It would be like Barney the dinosaur hiding in snow! - Joe Dawson
I have lived in the same n'hood for 30 years -- always go to same local barber for the past 10 years (and before that other local barbers 'til they retired or died). - Brian Sullivan

I go to Tony & Guy's, quite expensive though £45 for a cut! Would go to a local barbers but they just don't cut it how I want! - Joe Dawson
random? walk-in? chain? ponzi lets you get away with that? - Steve Lynch
I don't remember where I went in Seattle. In San Francisco, there's a great Spanish place in the Mission district with $7 haircuts ($10 for flat-tops like mine). In Los Angeles, a guy in Westwood I went to for 12 years. In Ohio, Supercuts - one lady there free-hands flat-tops, like my guy in Los Angeles. NYC never really settled on a place. Jerusalem was great - you could get a super-fancy cut for $15-20 (like a $50-100 cut in the US). - Mitchell Tsai
I go Supercuts, but not because I like them, it's because I don't know who else I can trust. It's like McDonalds, they don't have the best burgers, but at least the food tastes the same no matter which one you go to. - Davis Freeberg
Fantastic Sams here too - 'cause they give a decent scalp massage. - Rick Mahn
via twhirl
SuperCuts. Fast and reasonably priced. - Morton Fox
Everywhere from The Haircutters to Great Clips to Sport Clips to a black-owned place (I'm white) to whatever. But not in someone else's bathroom. - Ontario Emperor

I blame Scoble for the gloomy weather in the Bay Area today. And I also blame Scoble for the weather patterns that cause foggy summers in San Francisco. - Mike Doeff
I blame Scoble for Yao Ming's busted foot. And Tracey McGrady not getting out of the first round. And while we're on the subject, I blame him for "Space Jam". - Roger Benningfield
Roger, I see your Space Jam and raise you one Jar Jar Binks. Completely Scoble's fault. - Michael Pardee
I blame Scoble for the new Sex in the City movie. - Thomas Hawk
Well this is being overkill now.. There are other 'heavy' users on twitter as well! Why just scoble!! ?? - Jigar Mehta
via bTT
The crane collapse? C'mon now... some people died just hours ago. However, it is clearly plausable that he had something to do with the DOS attack on Revision 3 (http://tinyurl.com/5ugrmx). He's got the "bandwidth" for it. - Brian
I blame Scoble for my allergies. And the humidity. - ha3rvey
His unfortunate appearance in the Cyan Banister interview. - Adam Seever
High gas prices, global warming, and of course - hanging chads - Michael Pardee
...I heard he was at fault for the rising gas prices; too much consumption. - JA Castillo
I blame Scoble for anal fissures. And anal fishers, for that matter... I hate people who have to have their tackle boxes *just so*. - Roger Benningfield
"New" COKE and parachute pants....oh, and all boy bands. - Jeff Day
via fftogo
And just like that - I now subscribe to Mr. Benningfield. ;p - Michael Pardee
I think you're completely wrong - the old, rich white guy who's perceived as a war hero is going to win, possibly in a landslide. This has nothing to do with my personal preference - although I'm starting to like McCain more and Obama less, that perception might well change by Election Day, and I think either one would make a good President. Aside from the White House, though, I think you're right - the Dems will sweep the other elections this year. - Mitch Wagner
Of the available choices, I don't really care who winds up being president. I would be more than pleasantly surprised if Obama wins. But I fear people living in LA, NYC, Boston, the Bay Area etc are going to wake up one November morning very disappointed at the realization that a lot of the rest of the country doesn't think the same way. - Robert Seidman
I predicted Obama's win in Feb but I'm doubtful now. McCain might make him look naive in an issues fight. Whoever wins will win by single digit margins - tsudohnimh
obama is bad for business boys and girls. he will make clintons biggest raise in taxes in history look like a drop in the bucket! - Jeff Day

in addition, the repubs will WIN BACK seats in the house and senate...look at history. america balances things out. at least the senate or house will be back in repub control after this fall. - Jeff Day
via fftogo
now, now. let's not get carried away. see what happened the last two times. history may very well repeat itself especially considering that this country has a large underclass that tends to unknowingly vote against their interests. didn't obama say something like that not too long ago? hmm... - Cee Bee
