No, it doesn't matter, the oath itself is a technicality which would not prevent Obama from assuming the full powers of the presidency. You can even see Obama smiling because he knew Roberts flipped the words and waited a second for Roberts to recite it properly, but Roberts butchered it even worse the second time. Roberts admitted it was his fault during lunch that day and they reenacted it last night at the White House as a legal precaution. You can guarantee Roberts will say it perfectly from now on.

Does this Louis Gray guy do anything other than cut and paste stats all the time. I have never seen anything like it. Meaningless stat after stat after stat after stat. All equaling nothing
Louis Gray is one of the many reasons I took my own blog content offline. I mean, he is prolific. Even if it none of it is month over month coherent -- there is a lot of it. Considering he's only been at it for two years and managed to crank out more and gain more notoriety than I ever did in almost 8 years... game over. I'll stick to contributions outside the Web 2.0 bubble sphere of navel introspection rehashing. Or, I'll just focus on lambasting mediocre posts for amusement and/or boredom.

As near as I can tell, and I'm not an expert, it means that charts are _really_ impressive with when viewing a web page. It's like being in a meeting at work -- only you are on the WEB. Not to brag but... I have one of those engineering degree things (5 year plan *wink*). I recall something about charts and arrows being very important. In between them you can string words together to form phrases and sentences. I mean, I've heard it being done before but when you SEE it. Man. I quit. GAME CHANGER.

@feldman, you need to tell sheldon make a 25 second political ad for saysme.

Another media-created mountain out of a mole hill. Remember when everyone was furious about comments made by his pastor? Would a Muslim have a pastor? Another distraction instead of discussing the issues.

You have to love the fact that he was banned from the Democratic National Convention while fellow philanderer Bill Clinton was welcomed with open arms.

Art, Im a Republican, but this is fucking very funny.

Art, speaking of done for, weren't you a Fred Thompson supporter? Deep down, you probably can't stand McCain (just like most Republicans).

It truly amazes me that the French win any medals. Outside of Loic Lemeur they are not exactly the fittest of people. Plus they are not competitors/winners by nature. Except for Loic, but he's not in the Olympics.
Funny you should mention the French and rowing...http://www.youtube.com/watch... this is regarded as one of the greatest sprints in Olympic rowing history. Watch the French pair with about 700 meters to go. What they did is pretty much inhuman.
- Andrew Feinberg
Loic keeps telling us he's overweight so fit? Maybe not as much as we think?
- Dennis Howlett
from twhirl
yes, but according to pbaudry.com a motivation in their culture is "to be admired", and winning an olympic medal certainly leads to that.

Robert Downey Jr. has offended me greatly by playing a character in blackface. I think it's just terrible. What an affront to the Black tech blogger community which I consider myself a member of. I will be organizing a boycott with my fellow black bloggers that will accomplish nothing.
When is Covida and the other nutjobs protesting the movie?
- Joshua Rosenstock
My mom saw the movie and said the theater was packed and hysterically laughing. No protesters related to the Downey character although I hear that Lynne Johnson from Fast Company has been on vacation in the Maldives and will be contacting NPR shortly to discuss the situation.

Wow, are there other racial search engines, I'm not really sure what i think of a search engine designed for a specific race, aren't google and mahalo enough?
- Andrew Fielding
How can you demand a level playing field and diversity when you are constantly requesting preferences based on race and setting up "black-only" clothing lines, TV channels, search engines, etc.? You can't have it both ways.

Inconsistent testimony, not the crime itself, is what usually precipitates jail time. When Andrew testifies in front of Congress about what he knew and when he knew it, you need to stream it live.

In our society, the liars get rewarded while the truthtellers are shunned. Political correctness has killed all honest civil discourse.

I can't believe you're so pessimistic though you live in USA. Therefore, or I'm too optimistic about America society, or you're a little depressed.

All the black protesting really did a lot of good. I'm still here, the vids are still here, and I've started a new show "Black Website Review" with your host, Salaam E. Baloney. Wonder if they realized all the complaining was for naught. A joke.
Confirmed to be authentic by Fox News Channel representatives. Jesse Jackson said Barack...he's talking down to black people...telling n—s how to behave.
You would think that Jackson would be ecstatic that a black man may become president but instead is more upset about the fact that it will be someone other than him.

I must admit Shel and Winer were are right about one thing. Block, Block, Blocking people is the best thing ever. They do it to silence critics. I do it because the other person usually gets pissed, talks about it and I laugh for a nano-second. Win, win type thing.
