Google's been on fire as of late. Within the just last week or so, they've brought out an astounding number of projects and products. Let's list them here.
Republicans are lying about the health care reform bill. Don't believe them.

"You have to wonder: Are the Republican arguments against the bill so weak that they have to resort to these misrepresentations and distortions? "

"Jon Stewart and company catch Sean Hannity using footage from Glenn Beck's 9/12 protest coverage in a segment about last Thursday's anti-health-care-reform rally, which had a smaller attendance"

"A Marine reservist armed with a tire iron beat and chased a man he thought was an Arab terrorist and even called 911 to say he was detaining the man, police said."

You know...I'm not shocked this isn't an Onion headline.
- Anika
The Marine reservist looks about as dumb as a box of rocks - and I think he's too beefed out on testosterone for his little boy modeling gig to know that he is simply redneck stupid and giving Florida AND the Marines a very bad name.

"President Obama's speech at Fort Hood, Texas, was a small masterpiece—less than 15 minutes—in part because it was so modest. The president had great material and he knew not to get in its way. Less than three minutes into the speech, the president was telling the story of each of the 13 people who had died. The news has been full of every last detail about the shooter. Obama corrected that balance."

Hah, is that the Somali flag in the back?
- Maxamad
While the flag for when an Air Force Brigadier General is present looks like a Somali flag (http://images.google.com/images...), that one actually has an eagle on it. I'm not sure what it stands for, though.

"Wasserman Schultz was correct when she said the GOP plan does not prohibit health insurance companies from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. We found nothing in the 219-page Republican plan that would do that. Insurance companies have argued that they can only absorb the cost of taking people with pre-existing conditions if they could offset that expense by expanding their customer base through mandates that everyone buy insurance. And the Republican plan doesn't do that."

@nakachi it would've been better if she hadn't moved as i took it. ;( also, Achilles is my friend's dog.

LOVE. You know, if you ever need a little break, you should feel free to send Isabella up to Va. I promise to send her back.
- pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
careful what you wish for pea, we may never see you again!
- Carlos Ayala
you keep warning me but I gotta tell you, I've taken on some seriously challenging kids and survived to tell the tales so, bring it on. i ain't scared! ;D
- pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
pfft. has she ever broken into anyone's home? broken some stranger's sunroof? gone to bed with every knife in the house under her pillows because she's a ninja? shoplifted when she was 3? :D i got this.
- pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
give her time. she is only two and is currently only throwing forks and knives at her mother while saying "shit" 'cuz she missed. but when she connects she reaches out to dad for a high five. trust me, there is much evil brewing within this one. the force is definitely strong with her.
- Carlos Ayala
lmao @ reaches out to dad for a high five.
- nakachi
Great pics. I wonder if Cletus will ever calm down enough for stuff like that.
- Matt Hilton
What an adorable pair. I just can't take the cuteness + her awesome shirt. <3
- Carmen
That's a great one, Jim. I have SO MANY favorites. Documentary is my genre. I could never pick just one.

I have read the criticisms and parts are arguably a little hokey but, It simplified explanation of key findings from quantum theory. I loved the Dr. Quantum segments. It actually broke into the mainstream so that others would investigate and has some of the best interviews conducted on the topic. The jury is still out on consciousness studies. IMHO
- Eric Logan
Shoah is the film that was something like 12 hours long. I didn't see it. I'd recommend Night and Fog by Resnais, but I honestly haven't seen a lot of documentaries about the Holocaust. Wondering if you're maybe thinking of Solzhenitsyn's novel, made into a film, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich? Which isn't about the Holocaust, but about Stalin's camps.

ditto Aron. Rivers and Tides is amaaaazing.

Hoop Dreams, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, Gray Gardens, Street Fight, The Fog of War, Titicut Follies, Salesmen, Night and Fog, Winged Migration...I love documentary films.
- Derrick
Oh, I forgot B-Boy Planet and The Freshest Kids.
- Andrew C
Thanks everyone. I couldn't have asked for a better turnout. The space was awesome, had some FF love from Jason Toney, Melissa, Anna Lynn, and a surprise visit from Anna Haro! But seriously, you were all there in spirit.

"There are currently two major Wave infrastructures in place, both operated by Google." There are at least three if you include Google's internal corporate instance. Check Adam's comment here: "No worries, Daniel! With 3 instances of Wave now (corp, dev, preview)" http://friendfeed.com/kfury...

"Fifty one percent said they preferred the public option; 37 percent said they preferred a bill with some support from Republicans in Congress. Six percent said neither and seven percent expressed no opinion."

"Johnny Isakson, Georgia's junior Senator, has made a name for himself by unashamedly working overtime for the insurance industry, regardless of how badly it hurts his constituents. In fact, Isakson has consistently fought against lower health insurance costs and even voted against Medicare. And the insurance industry has rewarded him handsomely."

"Recently dishonored by being named one of the 15 most corrupt members of Congress by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, gubernatorial candidate Nathan Deal has over 20 years of experience in lining his pockets at taxpayer expense. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, over twenty years of no-bid contracts, as much as $3,000,000 might have found its way into Deal's pockets in a lucrative sweetheart deal between Deal's auto salvage business and the Georgia Department of Revenue."
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
"Republican Congressman (and candidate for Governor) Nathan Deal has over 20 years of experience in lining his pockets at taxpayer expense. And when Deal's sweetheart no-bid arrangement with the state's Department of Revenue was in danger of disappearing, he didn't hesitate to put his taxpayer-funded Congressional staff on the case to keep the money flowing his way. That's why the nonpartisan group CREW named Deal one of the 15 most corrupt members of Congress. Who does Nathan Deal represent? Definitely not the taxpayers of Georgia. This is just one example of the Republican graft, corruption and dishonesty exposed..."

Hrm... this might be an easy fix to keeping our little doggy away from the litterboxen.
- Paul Reynolds
@Paul - I think it would work pretty well; the lid is high enough that a small dog would have trouble getting up there, or at the least, would cause a big racket doing so.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Jennifer, does it seem to keep the litter IN the box better than the traditional boxes?
- Rochelle
It is definitely keeping the litter in a better - there's still a bit on the lid when the cat jumps out, but pretty small. @Tutivillus - I thought of modding one myself, but ended up not having enough time :)
- Jennifer Dittrich
Time. Time is a cold, cold bitch that leaves us in an empty bed without coffee and wanting breakfast.
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
We have two of these and like them, keeps the dog out of the litter! Only down-side is that the liners are expensive, I use PetSmart.
- Victor Ryden
Do they make the sifty liners this big?
- MicahBear78
there are a stack of ten plastic sheets. the bottom one is solid and each one above it is holey. use clumpy litter and a couple times a week you pull one liner up let it sift and throw the yuck away.
- MicahBear78
Hmm, now I'm tempted to build one of these myself... Our kitten loves to kick litter around like crazy.
- Jan Ole Peek
Useful information. Perhaps I should try something like this. I've switched to crystals for the litter, and that seems to be a big improvement compared to regular clumping litter.
- Kittyburgers
@Kittyburgers - don't even get me started on how much I love the Swheat Scoop litter (made from wheat and is totally NOT stinky at all) I use with this :)
- Jennifer Dittrich
I use a scoopfree, but I don't have a dog. works great, otherwise.
