Not a Photochop, but an actual _LIFE_ cover from September 2004. I think it's pretty obvious that Lorne Michaels has been running the country from the shadows all these years... (Via Waxy.org) - Chester via Bookmarklet

Matt, I think your commitment to being out front and transparent with users is awesome. You are a busy guy, but we on the outside appreciate you taking the time to address stuff in a clear way that doesn't reek of PR disinfectants. - Sacca
I think when Gmail was first introduced there was a simlar disclaimer-like line in terms mentioning that Google reserved itself a right to screen all emails to and fro the user registered with it. There were even an article or two crying foul on Gmail censorship. See how we all got used to it now and never even remember :) - Hayk Hakobyan
Thanks, Sacca. It's weird because I consciously don't want to be a Google fanboy, but Chrome just rocks so hard that it's difficult to stay neutral. It's just really exciting to share one of Google's greatest long-time secrets with the world today. - Matt Cutts

A reminder of the preparations for this: http://www.boingboing.net/2008... "FBI looking for vegan potluck terrorists". From May 21st. "[The informant] would be compensated for his efforts, but only if his involvement yielded an arrest." - Ruchira S. Datta
@Tad There is a huge difference between a designated area for protests to occur and preemptive raids on potential protesters in their homes. This is completely f'd up. I am outraged. - Sacca

Daily Kos: State of the Nation - Sarah Palin is not the Mother
August 31 at 9:11 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Well, Sarah, I'm calling you a liar. And not even a good one. Trig Paxson Van Palin is not your son. He is your grandson. The sooner you come forward with this revelation to the public, the better." (Wow. I am curious to see how this plays out.) - Sacca via Bookmarklet
The most bizarre propaganda I've seen in a while. Seems like McCain really hit a nerve. - Sprague D
I agree Sprague D, McCain definitely hit a nerve, - Rodzilla
Is this total bullshit? I realize Kos is liberal. But, I am curious whether he would risk his credibility on something this accusatory. Nevertheless, I am very open minded on this. Feel free to post articles refuting all this into this thread. - Sacca
The flight to Alaska from anywhere is not a pleasant one for someone who is not pregnant. Flying there while in labor? Nutty. If she did this, I seriously question her mental state. - Erica Baker
This reminds me of the speculation of the veracity of Britney Spears boobs back when she was 17-18. All based on photo evidence and anecdotal reports. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Some curious circumstantial evidence, but spreading this rumor as it stands today is as evil as the right wing's "Obama is a Muslim" smear campaign. - Ken Norton
@Erica, yes, this is definitely evidence of really stupid medical decisions. - Ken Norton
I'd give odds against it being true -- if this were a movie, that storyline would get booed as far too contrived -- but I can already imagine campaign rhetoric if it is true: "She told us during the vetting process, she wanted to protect her daughter, sanctity of life. caring mother with experience of the real world..." - Paul Haahr
Sarah Palin is a responsible adult, isn't she? All she needs to do is show her medical records, included the routine visits to her Obstetrician. If she can't or won't I'd expect it would be game over for her run. - tagami
wildly improbably... I cannot imagine that she would have gotten through the vetting process if it were true. Of course, that assumes the McCain vetting team actually did their job. - Rachel
Yeah, this seems so improbable as to not be worth more than a chuckle. I agree that those pictures don't look like pictures of a woman who's 6+ months pregnant, but this is a woman who is presumably seen in public several times every week. She'd have to be a pretty bad liar to have floated such a lie. If I had to guess, I'd say that the pictures provided in the story weren't even taken at the time the story claims they were. - j1m
@Sacca, also note that this story is not from kos himself -- anyone can sign up for an account on dailykos.com and write a 'diary', and this guy appears to be just anyone. For example, it's not listed on the front page as a recommended diary, which means people with accounts haven't been recommending it. I read a few of the comments from members of the community, and many of them are more negative than we are. So think of the article as having zero authority, as if it were on the guy's blog. Of course, he could still be right -- I'm sure the fine journalists at The National Enquirer are looking into it right now. If there's anything to it, they'll get back to us. - j1m
I agree that it feels like the liberal version of the Obama birth certificate story, but there's certainly some weird stuff there-- the daughter being out of school for eight months is suspicious, and the flying thing is really odd. I think that this stuff is pretty easy to clear up by having her release her medical records, which I think most candidates do anyway nowadays. - Josh
ridiculous. daily kos is such a lousy site. - Rob Kniaz
I ditto Rob Kniaz. - Kevin Porter via twhirl
I'd love to see Kos get hit with a libel suit. But besides, what if Sarah Palin were lying? What crime is she guilty of; trying to protect her 16 year old daughter? I'd find that admirable. - Dave Roth
@Dave Lying to your constituency to maintain the illusion of "wholesome family values" is not admirable, it is simply politically driven lying. - Erica Baker
Campaign has revealed that the daughter is pregnant: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITI... - Ken Norton

"Protesters here in Minneapolis have been targeted by a series of highly intimidating, sweeping police raids across the city, involving teams of 25-30 officers in riot gear, with semi-automatic weapons drawn, entering homes of those suspected of planning protests, handcuffing and forcing them to lay on the floor, while law enforcement officers searched the homes, seizing computers, journals, and political pamphlets." - Sacca via Bookmarklet

Barack Obama | Explaining the riddle | Economist.com
August 29 at 9:44 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Eight years ago Barack Obama was thoroughly humiliated at the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles. He had recently lost a congressional primary in Chicago, and both his political and personal bank accounts were empty. The rental car company rejected his credit card. He failed to get hold of a floor pass and ended up watching the proceedings on a big screen in a car park. He returned home with his tail between his legs before the week was out—and left the celebrations to the people who mattered, not least the Clintons, who took every chance to seize the limelight from the Gores." - Sacca via Bookmarklet
I deeply admire stories like this. I particularly like how Silicon Valley tends to embrace them more than other places. As long as your failure was not a result of moral turpitude, you can wear it like a badge of honor out here. - Sacca
He's gonna be humiliated again on November 4th. - Peter Simard

Wow... I would love to know how he feels about his sons in uniform now, our current torture policy, and particularly how most of what was done to him doesn't officially count as torture. Looks like that will not happen. - Clare Dibble
Dislike. - Erica Baker
Wow. See, the thing is I can understand being pissed off and tired with all the media and the grind. Yet, that's the job and it's not going to get easier when you're president. Secondly, pick your spots and know who you're talking to. Do this to ... a low-circ newspaper or blogger, but to Time? - AJ Kohn
Maybe the dude is just trying to sell more books. (I haven't turned to the weekly news magazines for news in ages, but isn't Time the one that is considered to be generally slightly right of center? Shouldn't it be home turf for McCain, relative to Newsweek?) - Chester
More than anything, he sounds exhausted. He'd better get some sleep before the convention! - Heidi Moon via twhirl
Describing the interview as "prickly" doesn't seem completely accurate if you listen to the audio. The interviewers' questions were a little on the pointed side (confederate flag? pre-marital sex?) -- and while McCain didn't come across as effusive or garrulous, this is not the same thing as "prickly." :-) - Karim
Worse, the transcript appears to have some errors that make McCain look bad -- after the confederate flag question, the transcript says McCain, quote, "[Does not answer]," when to me, on the audio recording, it sounds like *somebody* replies, "No." Also, the transcript says, "[long pause]" where there is, in fact, NO long pause, making it sound as if his answer is evasive, or not forthcoming, etc. - Karim
I am *not* a McCain supporter, but it seems unfair to describe him in this interview as "abrasive" when it just seems like he's being direct and to the point, or to say he was "determined to stay on message" as if that was a bad thing. It seemed a bit like they were baiting him, and they were disappointed that he didn't bite. - Karim
@Karim, agreed about the audible "no" to the confederate flag question. However, the media is accustomed to McCain's charm, particularly in one-on-one interview sessions where he's historically shined (evidence the "do I know you?" crack.) Taken in the context of how McCain usually handles interviews like this, "prickly" is accurate. - Ken Norton
Another example of that damned liberal media bias. - Chester
I guess. He just seemed pretty normal to me, and reluctant to get suckered into answering dumb questions, which I thought was commendable. He seemed cordial enough. My idea of an "abrasive," "prickly" interview is more like this one with Lou Reed (http://nymag.com/daily/enterta...) where he responds with a few choice expletives and then walks out. :-D - Karim

Are you drafting epitaphs? - Sacca
I don't understand what you're talking about, as has been the norm recently. Either you've gotten more opaque or I've gotten more dense. A combination of the two is entirely possible as well. I'm just bitching about how Wordpress always seems to fuck up either the direction of a "smart" quote or will inexplicably open up with a "smart" quote and then end with a "dumb" quote. I need to take a look into how I can turn this stupid shit off. - Chester

The Common Craft things are ads and are paid for. I hear they get $20,000 or more to do these things. But I love them anyway, especially if they help get more people into our world. - Robert Scoble
Robert, I'm not sure what you are getting at. Common Craft is not hiding the fact that this video was commissioned by Google. On their blog post they say "The Google Reader team hired us to create this one minute introduction to Google Reader." In fact they make it very clear that they are hired to produce videos: http://www.commoncraft.com/wor... Hey, you get paid to make videos and I watch those too. Are you saying that they shouldn't get paid to make videos? - Scott Beale
I don't think anyone has ever doubted the commercial nature of their videos, disclaimers or not. That said, I think they are uniquely effective at making technology approachable. I deeply admire their work. - Sacca
Actually, Common Craft *did* get paid to make *some* of their videos (and as Scott says, always with full disclosure when that was the case), but a lot of them were made for nothing but the love of it (the Twitter one for instance, and of course RSS, Wikis etc.) Lee & Sachi have stopped doing client work now to focus on their Common Craft store - selling licensed versions of the videos for commercial use and making them freely available for bloggers. What's the issue with getting paid here? The videos rock, period. - Michael Pick via twhirl
I just found it interesting that below this video was a link for "How to Survive a Zombie Attack, in Plain English" - Glenn Batuyong via twhirl
