Wow, I guess it was just a matter of time. It's interesting how Yahoo is cutting down on the jobs, but they're still going forward with Yahoo Research - Alvin

not surprising, the surprise is it took this long - Kim Landwehr

Sean, I hope this brings back memories for you. - Dan Clery

just one addition, Chris Pirillo Energizer Bunny, alternative Mr. Gnome - Kim Landwehr

Lots of photos from Shenzhen, China. Liam Casey, Ernst and Young entrepreneur of the year in 2007 and founder of supply chain management firm PCH, showed us around. Library? Huge. City Hall? Huge. Book store? Huge. (All three are biggest I've ever seen). Scale? Huge. Makes my producer Rocky Barbanica seem small and that's hard to do! - Robert Scoble

People still listen to Howard Stern? - April Russo

no but clever Gary knows that responding to it will one way or another get Stern to hear about him. - Zee from WeDoCreative

Zee, doubtful. Plus he's represented so his agent could open a door. I think he's just working the press like good marketers do.. :) - Patricia

"As you probably know, the Bush administration is implementing a series of “midnight rules” before they leave town. And as Hilzoy noted earlier, the incoming Obama administration is examining ways to reverse these and other Bush rules. Interestingly enough, an obscure Gingrich-era law called the “Congressional Review Act of 1996” (CRA) could help the Dems prevent these rules from taking effect. It’s been used just once – by the Bush administration to overturn last-minute Clinton ergonomics regulations. But maybe it’s time to dust it off and take it for a spin." - Steven Perez via Bookmarklet

this videotaped altercation between Oakland Unified School District Police Chief Art Michel and Tribune photographer Jane Tyska is very troubling on many levels. I'd encourage you to watch the short videotape yourself but be warned that the police chief uses a lot of profanity in it. - Thomas Hawk

There seem to be way too many people in law enforcement that clearly are not qualified. Just being able to yell, cuss & intimidate a female reporter who is cooperative does not qualify anyone. - Johnny Sewell

Quite emotionally charged isn't he? I wonder what really happened? The man deserves investigation of his actions to start. Termination if he is at fault and criminal action if indicated. The reverse is also true, he should receive appropriate disciplinary action for his conduct, but if the member of the press did commit some illegal act, then appropriate legal action should be taken in her case also. From this one clip the only thing you see is a very upset man. - Greer Trice

"How did a nations complicated political and cultural reality get boiled down into a two color palette? Red and blue have become shorthand for an entire sociopolitical worldview...Red states, to reduce the stereotypes to rather silly level, are a little bit country, blues are a little more rock-and-roll. There's even such a thing as a purple state, where the margin between Democratic and Republican votes has been too narrow to designate one as the majority. Dating back to 1908, the Washington Post arbitrarily assigned color codes on a map of electoral results. Evidently, in later years both parties strove to claim blue as their own (as in “true blue Americans”) and avoid red, with its connotations of radicalism. The color choices are of course, associated with the American flag. And very important in this day in age, also look good on a TV screen. Before the 2000 election recount charade, "blue states" and "red states" weren't always so clearly-defined. There was quite a bit of flip-flopping going on with - Cee Bee via Bookmarklet

'The head of the Hillsborough GOP, David Storck, distributed an email from a Republican Party volunteer saying the voters are a threat.' ... 'It goes on to say, "This is their chance to get a black president and they seem to care little the he is at minimum a socialist and probably Marxist in his core beliefs." The Republican volunteer says that is because, "After all he is black- no experience or accomplishments but he is black."' - Glenn Batuyong via Bookmarklet

This is absolutely disgusting. When are we going to measure the worth of a person by their character, actions, and core beliefs, and not the color of their skin? - Ro (Lilyhill)

"you might be a racist if..." - Cee Bee

Floriduh... the schlong of America... - Mark VandenBerg

That is f-ing hilarious. Sorry, had to be done. - Carla Thompson

I'd pit Duncan against Dave Winer any day of the week. - Cyndy

(I took this!) - Kevin Fox

I would think there would be less dramatic ways of making a car into a convertible. Nice pictures. - Chris Pounds

"WASHINGTON -- Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens was convicted of seven corruption charges Monday in a trial that tainted the 40-year Senate career of Alaska's political patriarch. The verdict, coming just days before Election Day, adds further uncertainty to a closely watched Senate race. Democrats hope to seize the once reliably Republican seat as part of their bid for a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate." - Anika Malone via Bookmarklet

No. This whole post is wacky because it is based on a wacky datapoint. - Robert Scoble

Bollocks. - Jennifer Leggio

"When the lights go down in the California town People are in for the evening I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar My heart beating time with the breathing Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul Cause people out there turn the music into gold" -- John Stewart - Thomas Hawk

a comprehensive article on the current state of politics in our country. An interesting look at the rise of the GOP as the party of exclusion, racism and lies. Are we capable of putting out those fires of ignorance and hatred? - Dinah via Bookmarklet

Pennsylvania Republicans are disavowing an e-mail sent to Jewish voters that likens a vote for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama to events that led up to the Holocaust. - Darryl via Bookmarklet

That doesn't even start to make sense. - Tad, Fool

Uh oh, traffic... - Roshan Vyas

Neil Young is a great show. He obviously loves what he does for a living; we should all be so lucky in our careers... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Awesome! Hope he does "Fu*king Up" for ya :-) - Kev

It's 3 a.m. and I'm going to bed. I wonder what kind of discussion will be here in the morning (deep breath). - Louis Gray

@nor it already has - see the "Legal Affairs" article as you scroll down on this page: http://www.npr.org/templates/s... - this will only get worse as gay marriage becomes legal. Again, I'm not saying I'm for or against it - I'm stating that there's more to it than being "for gays" or "against gays" here. - Jesse Stay via twhirl

Interesting article, Jesse. I wonder what will happen when Catholics will be forced to recognize divorces and Southerners will be forced to recognize interracial couples. - Gabe

Boxee is a media center frontend for your mac. it's currently in alpha - Joshua Schnell via Bookmarklet

I am going to state the obvious here and say, that's a lot of people! - Nadine Schaeffer
