"America is having a fire sale! We've dusted off all our old documents we're not using anymore and this includes the U.S. Constitution. Due to the forced bailouts of private companies by the U.S. taxpayer we can no longer afford the storage of our documents. Our loss can be your gain! ...

"This new phenomenon of middle-class homelessness is hard to quantify, but New Beginnings, an organisation that runs the car park sleeping scheme in Santa Barbara, says they accommodate some 55 people in a dozen parking lots. Outreach worker Nancy Kapp, once homeless herself, says there is a waiting list for car park spaces and she is getting more and more calls each day from people about to lose their homes. She identifies it as a new breed of homeless emerging in America." - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina) via Bookmarklet

I was almost there... Wound up sleeping on a mattress in the dining room while my ex BF brought his new piece over =/ - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)

Ugh, Tina. That's awful. :( - Alix Whitmire

=P Yeah, it was pretty unfortunate... But, the situation was so bad that when I was asked to move back to SC I left within the week, and almost exactly 2 yrs later I met my husband here. So in a way, I owe a lot to that asshat ex. - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)

I've been homeless as a kid and we associated with a lot like camping. Doing this now, I would be living well below my means and I could save money in the long run. - Christopher Welle

Christopher, before my husband was diagnosed with sleep apnea, we debated about living in a camp ground for 6 months as a means to save some serious cash and get our financials in order... - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)

Had a brief stint of this in my late teens in the late 90s. Waited tables during the day, babysat for acquaintances, would grab a shower there, crashed on friends' couches or in the cab of my small pick-up. It wasn't fun, but I was too proud to admit the situation I had been dumb enough to fall into. - Heather

Bush: Iranians Are ‘Assholes’

"While serving as CentCom commander between March 2007 and March 2008, Adm. William Fallon consistently pressed the Bush administration for more engagement with Iran and criticized the calls for another war. “This constant drumbeat of conflict is what strikes me which is not helpful and not useful,” Fallon told al Jazeera last year." - Sean McBride via Bookmarklet

29 more comments

In his new book “The War Within,” Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward details a telling White House meeting on Iran in spring 2007: “I think we need to do something to get engaged with these guys,” Fallon said. Iraq shared a 900-mile border with Iran, and he needed guidance and a strategy for dealing with the Iranians. “Well,” Bush said, “these are assholes.” Fallon was stunned. Declaring them “assholes was not a strategy. Lots of words and ideas were thrown around at the meeting, especially about the Iranian leaders. They were bad, evil, out of touch with their people. But no one offered a real approach. - Sean McBride

One of several reasons why the Bush 43 administration will be judged by the majority of historians as the worst and most self-destructive presidency in American history. - Sean McBride

C'mon, make the sound with me. You know you want to. Nurrrrrrrrrrrr - ωαřмaiden

Hehe, Sean...he's no Woodrow Wilson... - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

Alex - I would love to get your opinion on this 9/11 story: http://tinyurl.com/5jjx9d By all means howl in rage at the skeptics if you want. :) You got a right. Me -- I have a WTF response. - Sean McBride

I have no opinion on that, whatsoever. - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

Thank God for that. Wilson was a despicable man, and perhaps the only president who ranks lower than him is his wife. - eggsy

That statement pretty much sums up the foundation of our entire foreign policy strategy of the past 8 years. Start with idiocy and build out from there. - JodyUnwired

Alex - and you have a right to no opinion. Quite a few people, however, who have been paying close attention to all the details about 9/11 are, shall we say, curious. I think what we all share is undying rage against whomever inflicted this nightmare trauma on Americans -- I want to track down every last one of them. (Today's the anniversary day and all that.) And if it was OBL, I want to see him subjected to a lengthy trial on international television before hanging him. - Sean McBride

eggsy -- what's your chief complaint about Wilson? - Sean McBride

biggest shit head president that ever was - Cee Bee

That's classic. - Peter Simard

cee bee -- what's the main issue -- WWI? - Sean McBride

I was being extremely sarcastic when I said I have no opinion on that. :) And Wilson attacked Mexico Nine (NINE!) times during his tenure, as well as Cuba, Russia, Haiti, and others. Oh plus he was a HUGE racist. Got rid of all non-white workers in the white house and elsewhere...One of the reasons the Cold War was so rancorous was the support Wilson gave to the non-communist rebels. Support that cost a lot of Russian lives and kept the revolutionary war going for much longer than it should have. Epic fail. - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

“There is a mighty task before us and it welds us together. It is to make the United States a mighty Christian Nation, and to Christianize the world.” Woodrow Wilson. This is a man you can support Sean??? In addition, he was a racist of the first order. Do your homework dude, enlightenment might become you. - eggsy

Nice summary of Wilson's downside. - Sean McBride

The idiot who is consistently out of touch with his own people is now calling out other countries for the same. Hypocrisy, thy name is Bush. - Steven Perez

eggsy -- you fully convinced me in a few sentences. I see your point. Actually, Wilson was arguably a precursor of today's neoconservatives. - Sean McBride

Oh yeah and he set in motion with his racist policies and tenor a large number of lynchings in the period as well as the revival of the KKK. Makes GW look like a rank underachiever...which is what he is. GW is a guy who has never succeeded at anything other than getting elected (and he couldn't even do that on his own...he needed help from his friends in Florida). His whole history is marked with mediocrity. C at Harvard...failure at running a baseball team...do nothing governor of Texas...etc. - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

Bah...why does eggsy get all the credit :) - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

Wow - I am impressed by the in-depth knowledge of Wilson here (from both Alex and eggsy). It's been a while since I thought about his biography. I need to take another look at that period of our history. Thanks for the prod. - Sean McBride

I still think Andrew Johnson was a worse President. - Robert Hafer

Was that befire or after he was governor of NJ - eggsy

Yeah, my fiance got this book titled "Lies My Teacher Told Me" about the poor state of high school history education in this country...Book starts off talking about all the things that aren't written in textbooks about Woodrow Wilson and Hellen Keller - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

Once again wrong..What was the price the Baseball Team was sold for and the Oil Company sold for? Both made money millions in fact sir..you are categorically wrong in your conclusions...however if you are making the argument that spending Billions to UN-Nationalize Iraq's Oil Supply to break OPEC is wrong than make that statement....however yo uhav enot made that a case or argument - Fred Grott

Alex -- I just added it to my Amazon.com wish list -- good find. - Sean McBride

And both Johnson and Wilson were Democrats - Robert Hafer

Yes, but in today's political playing field, Woodrow Wilson would be a Republican. He was pretty much a southern Democrat and we all know what happened with them after the civil rights changes in the 50s and 60s. - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

Yes, in the 1860s, Democrats wanted to own African Americans, in the 1960s, they changed strategy to just own their votes. - Robert Hafer

There's so many things wrong with that statement, Robert who is not a Scoble, that I don't know where to begin, so I won't. - "Awesomesauce!" Scoble

And the Democrats who wanted to keep owning them became Republicans. - steplow is Steve

I really love Duncan Riley's The Inquisitr. - Zee from WeDoCreative

+1 to Duncan.. +1 to Robert for leading me to the site - Kyle Lacy

unless i'm seeing different though I don't think the layout for the friendfeed area is all that. I think the avatars above the comment and big white spaces are distracting. - Zee from WeDoCreative

Duncan sure is a clever one! - Nice Fish Films

I prefer the comment cluster on Friendfeed, but wonder how he easily integrated the two... do you have to post the entry on FF & then go back and update the blogpost with the FF id#? or just match on title when pulling the JSON feed for yourself? - Justin Long

integration is cool but styling i think could be improved - is this whateveryone else sees? http://mt13.quickshareit.com/s... - Zee from WeDoCreative

If it were me, I'd put the "Likes" at the bottom under the comments. But that's minor. I know to look at the bottom of pages for comments and this one doesn't disappoint. I love how fast the comments show up that I left over on FriendFeed (I didn't leave a comment over on the blog itself, rather all on FriendFeed). - Robert Scoble

Zee: yup, that's pretty much what I see. - Robert Scoble

i think out of everyone - absolutely no disrespect to Duncan & The Inquisitr (in fact, i'm writing a post for the Inquisitr right now) RWW has the classiest integration of friendfeed...but it is MT powered - Zee from WeDoCreative

Thx Robert, even if you still can't spell my last name ;-) I'd like to see it better integrated though, and the last time I spoke to Daniel Ha he told me it's on his short list for Disqus. Still, +1 to Glenn for a great plugin - Duncan Riley

it's so much better than Disqus or other commenting approaches I've seen. - Robert Scoble

Oh, geez. Sorry Duncan. - Robert Scoble

you know what, i actually know how to spell your name Duncan but I bloody copied & pasted Roberts comment, deleted the other part of the sentence and kept that part...so that's my excuse. Apologies. - Zee from WeDoCreative
