if that voting system is right I'm very annoyed. I asked for an invite months ago, now all the numpties are all over it I'm not going to get a look in.

I've been using this for a few days now and it's working quite well. Sometimes, the email addresses appear a beat funky to the recipients, but so far everybody's been getting their emails. How's it been for you? - Carlos Granier-Phelps

does the Groups app do this? and if not, why? - Clint McManaman from BuddyFeed

I haven't tried the Groups app, though it's been mentioned a few times. I'll check it out now to see exactly how they deal with this issue. One thing, though, my solution is free ;-) - Carlos Granier-Phelps

Checked out Groups and it can't do photos yet. The Camera application allows you to email up to 3 photos per message - however you can't interface the Camera app with the Groups app. There's another app called MultiPhoto that allows you to send multiple photos but not to multiple recipients. - Carlos Granier-Phelps

UPDATED: Now works with most email services and eliminates the Invalid Address dialog box. - Carlos Granier-Phelps

Starting at 0:08 "Hope! Uniting blacks and whites. Hope! Being both, Obama cannot take sides." So, they're saying that Obama can do no wrong because of his mixed race? That's not indoctrination or anything. o.O - David C. Cooper from Bookmarklet

Debunked and what's more, the same thing has been done by your best buddy, Bush: http://mediamatters.org/print... - please stop spreading this nonsensical, thinly veiled racist bullshit. - Rene Wirtz

Kids never had to sing a song claiming that Bush "cannot take sides" because he's black AND white. >.> - David C. Cooper

Right ... http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/split+h..., but in this case the subject is bald. - Rene Wirtz

Calling this "splitting hairs" is where you lose. There is a HUGE differencef between crediting Bush for his hard work helping the victims of Katrina and indoctrinating kids to believe Obama is omnipotent. - David C. Cooper

OMFG, giving Bush credit for his hard work helping the victims of Katrina is where you #epicfail. Bush's ineptitude and FEMA's inability (and I would go as far as to say their unwillingness) to do *anything* for the victims of Katrina is probably one of the biggest failures in the history of mankind and certainly one of Bush's worst mistakes. - Rene Wirtz

Wrong again, the failure of Katrina was all on the local government. The Mayor of New Orleans and the Governor of Louisiana turned down federal aid then turned around and blamed the Bush for not acting. - David C. Cooper

From "A Failure of Initiative: Final Report of the Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina" (http://www.gpoaccess.gov/katrina...): 1) Tardy and ineffective execution of the National Response Plan. 2) An under-trained and under-staffed Federal Emergency Management Agency. 3) A Catastrophic Incident Annex that was... more... - Rene Wirtz

David, respectfully, you are so full of shit, you read what you want to read and what you don't want to read you don't and then you turn around and tell me that I don't understand or misread the report.

Guess who barricaded the... more... - Rene Wirtz

The late "warning?" You mean the people who didn't bother to issue the evacuation order until 19 hours before landfall? Well page two of your own source says this: "Despite adequate warning 56 hours before landfall, Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin delayed ordering a mandatory evacuation in New Orleans until 19 hours before landfall." And you're claiming that there was some conspiracy to... more... - David C. Cooper

Katrina is the perfect example of liberal government management. Wait until after the disaster to prepare, then complain nobody helps them, and them starts the blame game. Oh, can't forget the race card! - Spencer

Anyways, the Obama-cult is getting very disturbing. - Spencer

Amen! - David C. Cooper

I think the (racist) denial of you fringers is beyond disturbing. Not only are you coward, backstabbing backpedalers, but you also have blinders on the size of your humongous ego. Everything you read you decontextualize and twist to fit your need and understanding without even grasping the simplest of implications. I pity you, but then again, I had no hope nor regard for you anyway. - Rene Wirtz

Personally I'm all for my daughter looking up to the President and singing his praises. I mean, he's certainly a more realistic and positive figure to look up to than some fictional Easter Bunny / Santa Claus type (feel free to read into where I'm going with that...). I mean, really - he's the President. Our first BLACK President. I think that's pretty significant and praise worthy. Or should my daughter praise Tom Delay shaking his ass on television? - Vince DeGeorge

Vince, do you also think your daughter should be taught that the President can't make mistakes because of his mixed race? - David C. Cooper

Rene, you can't uphold a cogent argument so again you devolve to personal attacks and insults. In this case the teacher brought race into the equation with the lyrics they created for this indoctrination song. You are the racist. You cannot see beyond the race issue and cannot seem to have a discussion about the man, his policies or associations without resorting to playing the race card. I guess I can't expect much more for someone operating on reserve brain cells, like you. - David C. Cooper

And all the while they continue the Cult of Obama, he's off to Denmark on the tax payer's dime ensuring that his buddies in Chicago get rich off the the slums they've created there. - Craig Eddy

@David: I have told you before that I have no desire to discuss anything political or societal with you, because you don't know your asshole from a hole in the ground when it comes to these topics. And as I said before, I think you are despicable affront to humankind. You constantly playing the reverse racist card proves it. You, my friend, are a oxygen stealer. Good day! - Rene Wirtz

Rene, is somebody holding your hand forcing you to post in these discussions? The really funny part about your posts is that you seem to think your comments are actually witty and relevant. - David C. Cooper

But, of course, I've got a communisct, socialist, fascist prompter from ACORN here, because I could never in my wildest outwit and be more relevant than you, since you know it all. - Rene Wirtz

And, when we see something that is such a flagrant lie we will come in and call bullshit, since you are also full of that, too. - Rene Wirtz

Oh wait, maybe that's my alter ego talking ... I'm confused now ... - Rene Wirtz

You say you have no desire to discuss anything with me yet here you are, still posting. I think you're stalking me. Sorry, I don't swing that way, dude. - David C. Cooper

For some apps, "block" works better. My current blocks: SocialCalendar, Causes, Vampire Wars, The True Age Test, Mafia Wars. Although I am surprised at how few people know the "Hide" feature exists. It's been there since the new news feed took effect, and I'm always having people tell me (IRL) that they don't like Facebook because of all the stupid apps that appear in their feed.

It's disturbing how little they seem to know about what happened, but perhaps they just aren't telling reporters. - Bret Taylor

How tragic. - Anne Bouey

@Bret - I think they're still in the 'gathering evidence' phase of things. The article on CNN mentioned that they have a great deal of physical evidence from her lab that they have to go through, as well as whatever they're retrieving from the waste processing plant. It's so sad that it turned out this way. - Jennifer Dittrich

The killing is sad enough but the fact that it happened on her wedding night is just horrific. - Spidra Webster

O, I have been monitoring this but but this is first I heard of her murder. Prayer for her parents and betrothed. deep Sadness - Melanie Reed

@Spidra: the reference to the 'wedding night' is that the day that her body was found is *supposed* to be her wedding night, had she not been missing. The act of murder itself IMO happened several days prior. Of course she went missing so there was no wedding. - Pandu ● IT Optimizer from fftogo

@LAG, her body was found in the crawlspace behind the wallboards, i.e., the space used for cables, plumbing, etc. - Pandu ● IT Optimizer from fftogo

It sounds like she got a call from someone she knew associated with the lab (she left her purse , ID and cell in another building). Someone close or or someone she had worked with? She was aware of taking care of herself (she wrote an article on protection and being safe in the city), so why would she leave her cell unless she knew and trusted who ever she was last with? - Melanie Reed

now, a personal dilemma for me: I think this news is important; but I can't bring myself to 'like' this... What to do? That said, condolences & prayers to her family and her fiancé. - Pandu ● IT Optimizer from fftogo

Or it could be that this call unnerved her and she rushed over to the lab without thinking. Whatever it was, to help or in anxiousness, she broke a habit. - Melanie Reed

@Pandu as long as you comment on it, the story gets moved to the top of FF and more people can see it. That helps a lot. I want to share my condolences & prayers to her family and loved ones too. - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕

Pandu: I was just about to write the same comment, Weird. Bret, can we get a "horrified" button next to "Like" :) - Bryan Lee

:(( - TheBuzzMachine

Probably someone she rejected who couldn't handle the fact she was getting married. Proabably a guy who she considered 'a friend', but felt much stronger for her. He confessed his love there in the lab, she rejected his final plea and he killed her. That's pretty much the way I see it going down. Guys can be nuts like that over women. - Vince DeGeorge from iPhone

My thoughts exactly, Vince. Had to be someone she worked with. - Ginger Makela Riker

Vince, yeah, I think that should be considered. It was either because she was too smart (jealousy) or too loved (jealousy). Or there could be a third reason because of something we don't know about something that she may have been involved in that threatened her future that is an unknown.

Now, the picture I saw was of her outside the building in the daylight.

One other thing strikes me as strange: They were in a lab. She was a pharmacology student. It took 3 levels of security to get in there: "He said it took three levels of security to get into the basement of the lab building on Amistad Street, including two swipes of a security card."

Mitchell good meta-post. We don't have enough info especially about her daily routine. You make some compelling suggestions. She's recorded as going in at 10:00am. Was this routine? Here's a couple of AP postings: http://news.yahoo.com/s... |... more... - Melanie Reed

"We're not believing it's a random act," said officer Joe Avery, a police spokesman. No one else is in danger, he said, though he would not provide details other than to say that police believe no other students were involved. He also denied reports that police had a suspect in custody. Several news organizations reported that police were interviewing a possible suspect who failed a polygraph test and has defensive wounds on his body. Avery denied those reports." - Melanie Reed

The problem is the relationship to the killer. How long and how close? Why didn't he/she do this where she lived? Why in a public lab? - Melanie Reed

Creepy stuff. Only students and staff allowed in the building. There is a real creep on campus. - PJ Edwards

I think a phone call can be ruled out IF this was a routine day for her. On one article it states that she could be seen with a cart going back and forth with the lab mice. The lab mice are located in the basement where her body was: "The body was found in the basement in the wall chase — a deep recess where utilities and cables run between floors.

It's possible if the scenario above is true that she might not have even known the killer that well at all.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Google Contacts has been disconnected from Google Reader. I've been able to follow several people since this problem started, but their names only show on my contacts page. I do get their updates as new comments in my Google Reader, but I have no name to attach to groups. I can like their shared items, and also comment on their shared items and my 'comments' label turns to bold text whenever someone updates ( including myself ). - Wallace

Maybe you're right. I can't even get to the people I follow list, since the "You are following..." message is not visible. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

There's a support ticket at JS-Kit Echo that GR shared items are not showing up: http://support.js-kit.com/jskit... - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Lot's of people have been trying to use GR as their new social network... this outage (with silence) does not bode well. I fear we'll lose many we gained. It's one thing to be buggy or lack some functionality, but a different thing all together to lose almost all functionality and not keep your users informed. Have we learned nothing? - Vince DeGeorge

John, you don't have to read German really if you know GR. The posts are in English. If you use the German page you will see how familiar it becomes..mostly! :) - Myrna

I've set up a new Google Account ( wallace.lockhart2@gmail.com ) to try and solve this problem on my end. My new profile page ( http://www.google.com/profile... ) is up, and I've imported all my contacts from my old account ( wallace.lockhart@gmail.com ).

Hey all, I moved from the German page to the French. It's working fine. Do you know how to get there? Think its settings. - Myrna

Wallace, I still see your old account but I can't comment on your page. I can comment on most others. Does it have anything to do with groups? - Myrna

Just use http://www.google.fr/reader/ instead of http://www.google.de/reader to move from German to French. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Myrna/Wallace: Think so. Because in order to comment, the user should have added you to a group. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Myrna, I have removed everyone from groups on my old page. I still have links to those contacts in GR, and periodically try to add them. No success yet. This may be link rot. Rapid link rot. Here's my new shared items link; http://www.google.com/reader... Until Google gets this straightened out, I"ll be sharing from one page and pushing feeds out of the other. Oh well, it's free. Thanks for your concern, patience and help folks. - Wallace

Wallace, can't you just go to the French or German page and continue from there. It's the same and I can comment and like everything. - Myrna

I tried the German and Polish pages, and both behaved as the English (US) page. But never mind that! I just discovered that I can follow my old tagged feeds that I push out of my old account and continue to post in my new account! That means I don't need two accounts! Woo hoo...! - Wallace

ENGLISH is working now!!!! - Myrna

Not for everyone... I'm still down. - Vince DeGeorge

I'm still down. And out for the night. Got to go to work in the am. I make pasta, so remember, pasta is the new potato.... - Wallace

Wow! Thanks, Myrna. Hope it works soon for everyone else. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

All the best, Wallace. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

UPDATE FROM GOOGLE: The GR team says "We've rolled out a workaround for this problem, reloading Reader should enable you to see your friends list (and other functionality) correctly again." Everyone, please sign out of Google Reader, restart your browser, login again. It should work. (From GetSatisfaction: http://getsatisfaction.com/google_...) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Yep, we just rolled out a workaround. If you're still having problems after reloading, please reply in the GetSatisfaction thread. - Mihai Parparita

It worked for me without signing out of google and without reloading. Just changed the settings from French to English. - Myrna

Everything back to "normal" for me as of 22:30 PDT - Richard ¿digame? Walker

In case you are wondering what happened, the response is here http://ff.im/7JFoG. - Chris Myles

Chris, thanks for the update! I wonder if yours was an extra-special case though, since if the specific use case of someone you're following adding their "Like" stream to Google Profile was the issue, then folks like Louis Gray would also have been affected, since he follows the same people and many more (I believe) than all of us who had the problem. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Yeah I'm not sure but I am glad they came back with a response.. I'll be even happier when I can get my comments out to back them up or use externally. - Chris Myles

Minus the rabble-rousing inane article, it's just a video of pretty, rich people talking about what they want to do to make the country a better place. Who cares? It's the article itself that attempts to turn it into something sinister. Just about everything on WND is complete bat-shit insanity. It's poison for the mind and the soul. - Internet's Tad

Why do people have to pledge themselves to Obama? Can't they think for themselves? I would say "no". - Spencer

Are you kidding? What recent President had their own logo, their own "brand" created around them, has a cult-like following? - Spencer

narcissist? do you know what the word means? How often does Obama say "we" - then consider how often Bush said "I" - William Harryman

Why post links or videos of celebrities? Why not just say: I hate Obama? Which is kind of the point, right? - Derrick

In his school speech, Obama uses the word "I" 56 times, the word "country" 7 times. Yep, nothing strange there. - Spencer

LOL, Spencer!! OMG. Minus the logo, you're describing George W Bush!!! And, hell, the W itself was his logo. Geeze, haven't you seen the Bible Camp movie with the kids praying to the cardboard cutout of Pres Bush? I'm not saying that President Obama doesn't have a following, but it's certainly no more dangerous than W's. - Internet's Tad

Spencer, are you insinuating that Obama personally created the logo, brand etc. or was it his followers, whom he has little control over? - Jeff P. Henderson

What about people who only read the books that Oprah tells them to read for her book club? Do we fault them for belonging to the cult of Oprah or congratulate them for renewing an interest in reading? - Trish R

You can't compare Bush "following" to Obama, day and night difference. A "W" used on bumper stickers is nothing like the Presidential logo he created for himself. - Spencer

@Trish, I really don't give a shit about Oprah, she is not the leader of the country. - Spencer

Spencer, again - children praying to a cardboard cutout of Bush. LOL. You lose. - Internet's Tad

It's not about WND. Forget WND. It's about a campaign of people pledging themselves to Obama like he's a friggin messiah. Sorry (well not really), but that is far more creepy than anything related to Bush followers. - Spencer

What exactly is creepy about it spencer? - Richard Lawler

Ummm......if I have to explain why that is creepy, then there is no hope. - Spencer

For every creepy Obama thing you can find, I can find more W stuff. Ultimately it's irrelevant. Your man started an immoral war, tortured people and heralded in the worst economy we've seen since the 30s. President Obama wants to give everyone access to health care. I'll chose the later. - Internet's Tad

I voted for Obama, but I haven't "pledged" myself to him. What the hell does that mean anyway? - Trish R

I think that the fact that you're so ignorant you can't recognize a fraternity step when you see it is more telling than your lack of "hope." - Richard Lawler

Not really. It's pretty typical for someone to blame the economy on Bush, but in reality Obama has made it 10x worse than it was under Bush. How is that stimulus money going btw? And if you missed it, Obama has kept this so-called torture open, and isn't Gitmo still open anyways? - Spencer

I find it hilarious that people think Obama is somehow different than any other politician. His poll numbers are diving big time, why do you think that is? - Spencer

The "Servant to Obama" bit disturbs me. AFAIC, we are in so much trouble, 'cuz politicians of the past forgot their duties to serve US.

Do you think that George W Bush was a socialist as well? - Internet's Tad

@Richard Look at the polls, please explain them. - Spencer

@Tad I don't care about Bush. He was just as bad with the bailouts, the one good thing he did was lower taxes, something Obama can't figure out will help the economy. - Spencer

And he's black. - Derrick

His race has nothing to do with it. Why is it that anyone who disagrees with Obama somehow has some racial motive? - Spencer

Doesn't seem to me that Bush's tax cuts helped the economy at all. - Internet's Tad

Explain what? You said they were diving, yet it never amounts to anything until you pop back up a month later and say they're diving again (or still, I'm really not sure.) It's been your rallying cry since the election bro, seriously, at some point someone's going to notice. - Richard Lawler

Race has *nothing* to do with it? Not even an eentsy, weensty bit? - Derrick

I think this whole thing means parents have no ability to teach their children reason and debate. Now it's all about shutting up the other side. Would anyone like another Red Scare?

It means a lot of parents are (a) stupid to begin with and (b) unwilling to take on the responsibility of "teachable moments" themselves. Or, you know, be a parent. - Spidra Webster

Permission slips for teaching about sex, I get that. Some families and cultures prefer not to have the schools take care of that. But permission to listen to a historical speech?

It just bothers me that these are the same people who told us to respect the office of the President, no matter who is occupying it when people were upset about going to war. And it scares me how much HATRED there is for Obama. Issues aside, just the pure hatred and aggression people feel towards Obama is frightening. - Trish R

Maybe I'm just biased, or conditioned to think this way, but when I see all of this Obama backlash, the first thing that pops in my head is: WE DON'T WANT NO BLACK PRESIDENT. - Derrick

Derrick: we don't want THAT black president. If Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell or Walter E. Williams ran, I'd vote for them in a heartbeat. - Craig Eddy

And Craig, if one of them had been elected I'm sure there would be absolute outrage that parents were keeping their children home because that president were making a speech to schools. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

It's ridiculous to require a permission slip for this, but I support giving parents the opt-out option. - Craig Eddy

@Tina: it's convenient that you can ascribe racist intentions to every criticism of the President, but that doesn't make it valid. UPDATE: oops, I mis-read your comment, Tina. Sorry. Strike this here, I'll use it in a second tho.... - Craig Eddy

@J. Deakins: it's convenient that you can ascribe racist intentions to every criticism of the President, but that doesn't make it valid. - Craig Eddy

Opt out? Hope he leads them in the pledge then the parents can opt out of the pledge opt out of respecting the flage opt out of respecting troops in time of war - yeah its 100 days after Bush and we sorta forgot that in time of war with troops on the hostile ground you respect your Commander in Chief - opt out of that - WarLord

Doesn't mean it is invalid either Craig, but please sugar coat it. - Joe

WarLord, Jehovah's Witnesses already do opt out of saying the Pledge of Allegiance. - Rochelle

Some parents prefer to do the critical thinking for their children. Not permitting or opting out of the viewing is a perfect way to let your child know it's not important to form your own opinions or respect the POTUS, but listening blindly to the ideology of your parents is paramount. - Pete Delucchi from iPhone

@Pete: I'm sure that would apply to allowing a valedictorian to thank God for their accomplishments too, right? - Craig Eddy

My high school Freshman was bummed he wasn't getting to see it. He wanted the opportunity to "point out all the fallacies". It was a proud moment for me. - Craig Eddy

Yes I'm aware of both Witness and Adventist "Graven Image" views that however is a tiny side issue to the larger one of hyper patriots suddenly deciding that their partisan politics is more important than our troops at war - WarLord

J.Deakins, my point is that there already are groups of Americans who don't recite the Pledge. Although I don't personally agree with their religion, I give them the space and right to practice it. *shrug* - Rochelle

Civil like Bill O'Rielly? - Joe

or civil like Rush? - Joe

Oh, I didn't realize Bill O'Reilly or Rush were in this conversation. But way to deflect. - Craig Eddy

Examples of GOP civility. - Joe

I seriously doubt many valedictorians need/want their PARENT to write their speech for them, but if makes you feel better to think that, go for it. - Craig Eddy

How civil of you Craig. - Joe

Craig I'm waiting how do you feel about disrespect of Commander in Chief in time of war with our troops in harms way - those permission slips provide aid and comfort to America's enemies - WarLord

I think those men are both entertainers who are paid to generate an audience. - Craig Eddy

I think all the John Birch members will not be allowing their kids to see that speech either. - Joe

Why isn't he going to see it, Craig? Are you not permitting him? Why not give him the opportunity to debate those "fallacies"? I think it's important for children to be able to figure out things for themselves eventually, you are there to guide, not brainwash. Brainwashing leads to backlash and extremism... we all need more moderation and the only way to achieve that is to expose ourselves to conflicting viewpoints and consider them objectively. - Her Lindsay-ness

@Lindsay: It's for K - 6 as far as I know. I would never "shield" him, and we rarely discuss politics. He has formed his opinion through his own reading. - Craig Eddy

J.Deakins: respect for another person's religion is not "PC." It's actually one of the core founding principles of this country. I don't happen to believe what the Witnesses believe, but I also don't think it's necessary to denigrate their belief here or anywhere else. #justsaying - Bren, Photophobe

@Bren: respect for another person period. Whether its religion, politics, or choice of football team. Without it, we're doomed. - Craig Eddy

You know what I do think that children should hear speeches from god fearing GOPers - kids need to learn fear, hate, and intolerance - what better place to do it? - Joe

Its been one election and 100 days but suddenly with a change of parties the Office of President and the Commander in Chief is far less deserving of respect. No longer dissent un american or unpatriotic. Partisan politics in time of war with troops in harms way is just a yawn. The hypocrisy of this dramatic and cynical sea change is breathtaking. - WarLord

OK, I'll be a contrarian here. If this were a "political" speech about foreign policy, health care, or some issue that's a subject of political debate, I'd totally support the need for permissions slips, and I might even give the school board an earful about it... - Ken Sheppardson

... Maybe I'm just being naive, but it never occurred to me that's what the President had in mind. My expectation is that to note the start of the first school year since he took office, he'd offer a "school is important, study hard, listen to your parents, and maybe you can grow up to be President" message. I mean you might disagree with him on politics, but do you really think he's a complete idiot? - Ken Sheppardson

Ken, but don't you realize? That's all part of the illuminati-socialist-fascist plan! If people become educated and stay in school, they might demand government that works for them. The horror. - mikepk

Parents will let their kids listen to pro football players and pro basketball players, rappers and celebrities ... and yet they won't let them listen to the President for fear of "ideology". Rational thought has obviously been lost in the process here. People are getting way too bent out of shape over this. - Allan Besselink

"President George H.W. Bush delivered a nationally televised speech to students from a Washington school in fall 1991, encouraging them to say no to drugs and work hard." -- http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn... - Ken Sheppardson

Among other things, Reagan called taxes "such a penalty on people that there's no incentive for them to prosper ... because they have to give so much to the government." -- http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn... - Ken Sheppardson

Many parents who's kids won't seeing the speech will be watching the new Sarah Palin/Michelle Bachman TV show : "Crazy Talk" - Joe

I get annoyed at the bogeyman of the evil all-controlling Government (capital G). If we strive to the heights of our own ideals then we, the people, should *be* the government. You know, that government of the people, by the people, for the people, that shall not perish from the earth. All that stuff? By framing every debate as "regular folk" vs "The Government" you're essentially saying democracy is a failed experiment. - mikepk

How can you become educated about a person's idealogical and political beliefs if you refuse to listen to what they have to say? - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

I don't think I'm being paranoid, xenophobic, or exhibiting low self esteem to say that I don't want classroom time taken up by political messages, unless I'm sure there's going to be a teacher there who can frame it as that after it's been presented and offer context and explain that there are alternative views. In the context of a Political Science class, fine, but as part of just some general assembly where the kids immediately head off to gym class after, no thanks. - Ken Sheppardson

And I now have in my head Reagan's 1988 message that included the comment that "taxes can be such a penalty on people that there's no incentive for them to prosper ... because they have to give so much to the government" not any sort of hypothetical Obama speech. [That comment was in response to a Q from a student, not part of the prepared/approved address, BTW] - Ken Sheppardson

I will be sharing this speech with children in India, it has universal appeal - Aaman (Clone of FF)

Last school year, my son was in his English class, and the election came up. Many people spoke up with hate messages about Obama. My son spoke up in support of Obama and asked them why they hate him so much. The teacher asked my son, "How many states are there in the U.S.?" My son said "50." The teacher said, "Then you're smarter than Obama." So how is that not a political message in a... more... - Trish R

Yes, Trish, the teacher was wrong. But, since we have yet to actually see/hear the speech, how can we know what the content may be? - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

@Ken: Come on! They're over at someone's house and they hear something and there's no one to provide context. Or in the mall or ... anywhere. And why is it the job of the teacher to 'frame it'? I usually agree with you but here ... we're coddling children and parents WAY too much. The line of thought here is that nothing that is of any intellectual debate should be presented in school - that MAAD should be shouted down because I really think we should be talking about smoking instead. - AJ Kohn

This is political posturing with kids as the pawns - it's that simple. One teacher over a single year will have 1000x more opportunity to influence a child's thinking counter to how the parent is trying to influence he/she. Some people home school for this reason, but that's not applicable in this situation since we're talking about a public school here. PUBLIC <--- hmm, important word here. - Micah Wittman

Sorry, AJ... for a second there I was imagining we had a school system that actually teaches kids critical thinking skills and has a different set of standards than the mall or my neighbors' basement. I forgot. Nevermind. ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

+1 Ken - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

Seems like to me, people don't want their children to hear messages from the president only when they views differ from their own. I can't ever recollect such vitriol when the president was going to talk to kids (wasn't GWB talking to school kids during the 9/11 attacks?). What makes it so different now? Obama is the FIRST PREZ to ever talk to kids, ZOMG!?! - Derrick

I just know I want to watch the address now to see what these parents are keeping from their children. (Thrilled to be Canadian) - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF

LOL. Wow, that's why I live in Canada. LOL. - Zachary TG

Thanks Mark. seriously. parents don't want their children to hear that? *shakes head* - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF

After reading through the speech all I could think was that I wish someone in a position of influence (other than my parents) would have given me that talk when I was a child. - joey

Seriously? You need a permission slip to watch _that_?! It's totally bipartisan. No political agenda, just a message to stay in school and keep trying. - Sparky, a big deal

To anyone who feels like it's necessary to see the speech before you approve your child watching it: Would you have demanded to read the speech beforehand of Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush or George W Bush before allowing your child to sit in a classroom and watch? - Trish R

Those other presidents weren't black, Trish. FYI. - Derrick

Anybody believe this speech wasn't re-written over the past couple of days? Anyways, much of this is PR to try and stop his sinking poll numbers. - Spencer

One step forward, 3 steps back. - Trish R

trish, it's looking more like 1 step forwards, tricked out delorian ride back - alphaxion

I had to sign a permission slip for sex ed. A political gimmick (as some perceive) might justify a permission slip. I couldn't imagine telling my child's school that my child couldn't attend the broadcast. That's especially a bad idea if you really believe it's just a dogmatic political engagement. It's a great opportunity to learn, regardless of your political affiliation and especially so if it's controversial and politically charged. Sounds like fun :) - Jason Nunnelley

If I was a student and my parent did sign the permission form for me or my teacher or school opted out of the broadcast, I would ditch school to find a way to watch it. - Pete Delucchi from iPhone

sheesh - whatever your politics listening to the President of the country giving a speech specifically for students seems to me at least exactly what kids should be experiencing in school (whether public or private or home) - Shannon Clark

I think you'll get a kick out of this, then. >> http://friendfeed.com/rochell... - Miss Elle

By the way, I'm with everyone who is saying, "Racism." This is what I see, as well. If it were a white president, there would be considerably less pure anger. Sure, I get it, some of you can come up with reasons why you don't like this policy of that policy, but the fact of the matter is that white presidents have done much of what Obama is doing in the past and you didn't hate then.... more... - Miss Elle

I think D. is on point - it would happen regardless of the Black president in the office. - cecily

When I was in high school, we had both Nancy *and* Ronald Reagan visit our school in back to back school years. We were *required* to be in school both days. If we were sick, we had to have a doctor's note proving we were too ill to attend classes. I was in ROTC so I couldn't get out of participating in both appearances but I was strongly anti-Republican even at age 16/17, so to show my... more... - cecily

Cecily, I don't get your point. You dissented. Some people choose to dissent today. Were you not paying attention to all the people who hated Reagan in the 80s? Do you think Republicans and folks concerned about Obama's cult of personality originated the idea of opting out? This is a direct result of all the free thinking from Republican administrations and more conservative times - kids suing schools because a coach prayed before a football game. - Jason Nunnelley

My point, Jason, is that nobody was all up in arms when the Reagans attended my school. Nobody cried indoctrination then when, let's be honest, that whole "Just Say No!" movement was all about indoctrination. It's hypocrisy of the highest order. My point is that there is a double standard being applied to this president that has not been applied to past presidents, and I, for one, am no longer believing any soft-pedaled excuses about 'socialism' or 'indoctrination' or any of that bull. - cecily

Cicily, if you're saying it was OK for you to dissent but not OK for today's youth (or their parents) to dissent then I'm afraid that's hypocrisy. Conservatives keeping their mouths shut when the "Just say no," campaign was going on (with which they agreed) and freaking out over the "What are you going to do for Obama?" campaign is consistent with their own personal views. It's no more hypocritical than you voting for the person you want to win. - Jason Nunnelley

With all due respect, Jason - I call bullshit. And it's OK for you to believe what you want to believe, but I call 100% grade-a bovine scatulation. - cecily

It's just as silly for you to deny someone's feelings about big socialist government as it is for someone to say you only like Obama because he's black. You're both equally guilty of dehumanizing the conversation. It's not productive. So long as you like conflict, that's cool. You're feeding a fire of hate, but that's your choice. - Jason Nunnelley

Miss Elle, then I call bovine waste. It's untrue. Where have you been the last 8 years. When did the left show respect for the office of the presidency? That's either completely blind or dishonest. - Jason Nunnelley

If my daughter doesn't get to hear the speech or I see a permission slip come from the school, I may have to homeschool her. This is a positive message by the President of our Unites States, not Hugo Chavez. The fact that it has come this far is frankly an embarrassment. The Right is lashing out like a wounded animal of the drubbing in the election, and instead of licking their wounds... more... - Vince DeGeorge from iPhone

Yup, that's me. Feeding a fire of hate. *puts marshmallows on sticks and gets to roasting* Who's got the chocolate and graham crackers? We can make HATESMORES. - cecily

Where have you guys been? How did you miss all the nasty, vile rhetoric about Bush? Can't you guys just admit that you're political idealists that have no patience for the messages you don't like and accept that the guys on the other side are the same? Do you have to pretend it's about race or some other silliness? Even the left and right in DC manage to get together and have a beer afterward. Look at the Republicans that bemoaned Ted Kennedy's death. Buying into this whole hate stuff is for suckers. - Jason Nunnelley

Word of mouth sure called little-Bush several levels of idiot. However, never once was there any nationwide attempt to make schools require permission slips when showing Bush to schoolchildren. This is about the permission slips, not about what is said at home. - Miss Elle

Miss Elle: new tactic, old game. Never before did anyone use social media, direct advertising, cell phones, etc. as successfully as the 08' Obama campaign. Look, these are separate issues. One is the legitimate concerns of parents (right or wrong). The other issue is Republican tactics (which are sleazy). Calling everyone that's caught in the snare a bigot or evil is a bad idea. You... more... - Jason Nunnelley

Don't think anyone showed up at any of 43's public appearances with guns or nooses, either. Don't think any liberal/progressive ministers called for his death from their pulpits. But don't mind me, these HATESMORES are too tasty for me to get upset. - cecily

Cecily, your'e wrong. They burned him in effigy, held mock trials, crapped on the flag. If you judge anyone that disagrees with you by the most extreme examples, then you're painting with an unfairly broad brush. As for the guy with the gun, he didn't shoot anyone and broke no law. I'd bet there's 10 or so guns strapped to someone at nearly every Republican meeting in my home town,... more... - Jason Nunnelley

@Jason -- But permission slips? As a schoolteacher, and an independent voter, I was totally behind the "keep your kiddo home" thing. That seemed to be more of an individual choice. Permission slips is messing too much with education, methinks. (It should be noted that my school isn't showing the speech though I think some of my beloved knuckleheaded kiddos could benefit from a strong stay-in-school message.) - Miss Elle

Your son needs a permission slip to listen to the President's address? What is going on in this country? What has happened to the right? - PC Easy from twhirl

Look, we don't have any stupid permission slips in logic driven Alabama. I agree it's stupid. - Jason Nunnelley

http://www.nowpublic.com/world... Is this the gun toting guy at the healthcare forum? - Jason Nunnelley

It's just embarrassing as hell. - Internet's Tad

I agree with that Tad. Why there would be permission slips required to see the speech is bizarre. - Craig Eddy

For the record, carrying an AR-15 (AKA Assault Rifle) to a rally is a very bad idea. People shouldn't do it. But, to a gun carrier (and anyone who carries a gun is going to carried a loaded gun - cause an empty gun does one no good) this is an exercise of liberty. I disagree with that decision, just like the people that want to keep their kids home when Obama speaks. But, it doesn't mean they want to murder people. - Jason Nunnelley

A permission slip - wtf? - Mona Nomura

Quite messed up and that is my using my good language. School Fail! - Mathew A. Koeneker

I really really hate to point this out: These are the nut cases which were running the place during Daemon Cheney - Bush debacle era. Now can you see why the rest of the world thinks we are nuts to let this kind of thing happen here. USA is looking pretty bad - nothing these guys are doing makes us look like we have 2 cylinders going in a 4 cylinder engine Dudes Chill Love your neighbors - ThatDBD

Cassie's principal (she's a 4th grade teacher for those not in the know) isn't allowing it to be shown in her school because of parent complaints about "propogandizing"...Yet another example that racism isn't dead in America just because we have a black president. - Alex Scoble

Holden, there's no other rational reason to explain the reaction that parents are having to this event. - Alex Scoble

In all honesty, I just don't see how the things going on surrounding President Obama are not related to race. Take everything as a whole and it just doesn't make sense. Race seems to be the missing piece that makes it all fit together. Obviously, some people have actual grievances with Obama (even though he hasn't actually done anything yet), but nothing else explains the retarded stuff going on right now. (Funny, Alex and I agree for the same reason) - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

Trish: You asked "To anyone who feels like it's necessary to see the speech before you approve your child watching it: Would you have demanded to read the speech beforehand of Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush or George W Bush before allowing your child to sit in a classroom and watch?".... I think so, yes. I wouldn't ask to review it in the case of Obama because I trust him to keep it non-partisan. Those other guys? Watch out... ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

Dear Parents Who Don't Want Their Children Listening to Anything Barack Obama Has to Say, Ask your child what they want to be when they grow up.

1UP Erica - Derrick

Jason - carrying an AR-15 to a rally is an "exercise of liberty"? Can people start exercising some responsibility? Once again, another prime example of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should". I am really starting to wonder what drives people anymore. Apparently people are more driven by party-politics-babble than they are by thinking. Nobody made this big of an issue about any of the aforementioned presidents, Republican or otherwise. This is just plain stupid. - Allan Besselink

Hey, wingnuts! Maybe you guys want to try reading the speech before you freak out: http://friendfeed.com/us-poli... - Steven Perez

I read the speech. I concur with POTUS! Stay in school. Be responsible for your future. Learn all that you can. Show up. All seem pretty sensible ideas to me. - Mathew A. Koeneker

Mathew, yeah but it's kind of sad (to me at least) that the POTUS has to say this kind of stuff to the kids today... shouldn't parents be passing on those types of things to their kids already? - Chris Heath

I agree that it seems as if many parents have given up the idea of being the role model for their children. Another argument entirely. I applaud the fact that POTUS is being forward thinking. - Mathew A. Koeneker

Allan Besselink, if you're talking to me you didn't actually read my post/comment. And, Scott, if an AR-15 is too much fire power for an individual, then so is any hunting rifle. A .223 is no more powerful a firearm than anything you'd use to shoot a deer, elk or wild boar. This is simply a pro-gun vs. anti-gun issue. You either think guns are evil and should be banned or you believe in the right to keep and bare arms. Some people believe in the right to keep and bare arms. - Jason Nunnelley

Why would you need a gun at a rally? Simple question. Simple answer? - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

Scott, does that limit end at my front door? People carry guns concealed in my state - I can carry a gun practically anywhere, especially in public spaces. You just don't know I'm carrying. Like I already said, I'd never carry a gun to a rally because it's a bad idea. I think that is a mistake. But, to a person that carries a gun everywhere else, it's not a hostile act. - Jason Nunnelley

Coach Rahsheen, I usually keep a license to conceal carry. And, I never feel the need to carry a gun anywhere. I most often carry in transport to shoot for fun. I like guns. They're fun. I would never carry to a rally. It's a bad idea. - Jason Nunnelley

Come on, Jason. Are you serious? I could see if you're just carrying concealed all the time just because that's what you do. I don't have a problem with that. Carrying a rifle to a rally when you have said you want the president dead can only be seen as an act of aggression. I don't care if people carry guns, but people are definitely abusing their right to bear arms just recently. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

WRT I do not understand why it's supposed to be OK to bring guns to rallies for *THIS* presidents term but it's never been before. Mind you I grew up in Alaska. I am no stranger to guns and I love that people can use them to shoot the moose that make tasty jerky (dear anybody in alaska, please send moose jerky). I also think that people should have the right to keep a gun in *most*... more... - EricaJoy from IM

Jason, your words: "But, to a gun carrier (and anyone who carries a gun is going to carried a loaded gun - cause an empty gun does one no good) this is an exercise of liberty." That wasn't hard to read. "Responsibility" goes with rights - guns or otherwise. I agree with Coach - where's the need, "rights" or otherwise? People are too quick to jump all over having the "rights" but fail to... more... - Allan Besselink

Erica - yes, I think we have what people have, in history, called a "double standard". I fear we are now discovering the deep dark underbelly of the populace, more so than ever before. - Allan Besselink

Yes, Allan. I already said that. Scott, this whole notion of an "assault rifle" is silly. I can kill a person just as effectively with a "deer gun," as an "assault rifle." It's a designation based on how the gun looks - it's practically meaningless. I realize that antigun people don't understand that an assault gun and a hunting gun are the same thing. I also realize that antigun are... more... - Jason Nunnelley

It's not a designation based on the looks of the gun, although that's how the assault gun ban was written. An assault gun is different from other types of firearms in a few important areas and must meet more than a few of these criteria. It must fire a high speed projectile, have a high capacity magazine, be easily configured for auto or multi-round fire and have a rifled barrel (be fairly accurate up to 400 meters. That's what makes it different from a hunting rifle. - Alex Scoble

And yep, a well trained crazy with a bolt action M14 sniper rifle is much more dangerous to the public than a crazy with an assault rifle, if they are in the right place, such as a clock tower. - Alex Scoble

Don't understand exactly how gun rights belong in this debate. I personally don't have to look any further than Iran and June 2009 to realize that the right to bear arms are vitally important in a free country. - Eric Logan

Thread drift or no thread drift - it's still inane to require a permission slip to listen to the President. - Allan Besselink

I agree, Allan and us much as I hate it the visibility of an underbelly also seems apt. Hopefully, its exposure provides a cathartic opportunity at some point in the future. - Eric Logan

"Every single one of you has something you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide." <-- I could really have used hearing that as a kid. - Alix Whitmire

Anyone who would not allow their children to hear that speech should be ashamed of themselves. Period. - Joe

You know, I keep trying to tell folks (in two separate threads) that dismissing the fear some express as political duplicity ignores a growing sentiment in this country. Most of the rabid anti-Obama were also people who thought the Bush administration was drifting toward fascism. There is a strong thread of thinking in this country that our government is being pushed to a dangerous end by both parties. It's not fake emotion. And, it's not shrinking. - Jason Nunnelley

Jason, that might be the sentiment where you live, but where I live the anti-Obama people were almost all very avid supports of the previous administration. VERY. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Jason, you may have a point there about growing anti-government attitudes (on some issues) across parties (that's worth several threads thread in itself), but it's the rabid anything that's misplaced, and to fear something so straightforward as this speech is just silly, if not either (or both) pure partisanship or veiled racism. - LogEx

Tina, LogEx: I've said this a dozen times - but I happen to have zero problem with the President's speech. But, I think it's a bad idea to ignore the real emotion behind the success of the campaign to trump up concern over Obama's address. I also think it's a terribly dismissive and ignorant statement to call anyone that has concerns over the speech a racist. Reactionary? Sure. Racist? No. Its not about race. It's about socialist vs. free market. Most people don't care what race Obama is or isn't. - Jason Nunnelley

It might be simplistic to reduce it to race, but I can't help but consider that a factor. That's not to say that the other things aren't, but there's too much divide, too many people not willing to talk about it, too much history in regards to race in this country to say that it's NOT a detail. EDIT: But then again, I'm a black man in America, so that's my bias. - Derrick

There are two factors here: tabloid political spin doctors and legitimate political dissenters. Neither are driven by race. The political spin doctors are responsible for nutty stuff like Palin claiming Letterman suggested someone rape her daughter. That's insane, and I'm pretty sure she knew it when she said so. Likewise, there was a single line in the original speech that's been blown... more... - Jason Nunnelley

I've never said anyone called anyone a racist, or that the people involved are racists. I reiterate, things involving race can be racial without the people involved being racists. Big difference. - Derrick

Derrick, go to a Republican rally and say you're for lowering taxes, reducing federal spending and reducing the amount of involvement the government has in people's lives. You can be as black as coal, they'll embrace you. Get some lily white guy to go to the same group and say he's for universal healthcare, more taxes and tell them you think people shouldn't be allowed to say things... more... - Jason Nunnelley

Jason, I would say that most of these people don't understand what socialism or free markets are. Most of what I've seen is spouting extremist talking points that have no basis in fact. - LogEx

Black as coal? - Derrick

LogEx, yes. We totally agree. But, I'm trying to suggest the whole walk a mile in the crazy guy's shoes line. Just because someone's views aren't completely logical or well thought out doesn't mean they're lying about their motivation. If you empathize with people you can change their hearts and minds. If you dismiss them, you'll get nowhere. - Jason Nunnelley

Derrick, is that an offensive term? It wasn't meant to be nuanced. I'm just pointing out that a man's color doesn't matter as much as his ideology. You think all these right wing folks would embrace Hillary Clinton? - Jason Nunnelley

Not at all but they wouldn't be implying threats of assassination so brazenly either. :) - EricaJoy from IM

What I'm saying, and I'm not discounting ideology, as someone who thinks that gays should be able to get married, that those who have should help out those who have not, we should be more inclusive, and we had no business in Iraq, etc., I clearly differ from those who are more conservative. I'm also someone who is forced to never, never, never forget that he is black. I'm certainly... more... - Derrick

+10 Derrick - Joe

Derrick, I can't understand but I do empathize that being a minority is a particular burden in today's culture. I remember dealing harshly with a great guy in business a long time back and he decided it was because he was black. It had nothing to do with that. I got stuck between a rock and a hard place and he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was about money, not race.... more... - Jason Nunnelley

I think that's the point I'm trying to make, Jason. Things in this country have conditioned people of color to be consumed with race, and people who aren't minorities rarely give it a second thought. Until both groups understand this, there will always be some gulf. - Derrick

Derrick, I realize that. Let me tell you (for personal peace and understanding) that most white people are judging you for your education, performance, manner of speech, and a whole host of other things. Your race isn't in the top five, likely not in the top ten. If they mess you over it's because that's what white people do. There is an ethnic European culture, and part of it is race... more... - Jason Nunnelley

I understand that Jason, and realize that in a perfect world, that wouldn't be a factor. But, by the same token, race neutrality can backfire. I *am* black. I have had experiences as a black person in this country that have added to how and why I do things. To cut *that* out and ignore it completely is just as bad, in my experience, as it is to be a blatant racist. Resumes can only tell a person so much; you still have to conduct an interview. - Derrick

Derrick, just keep in mind that as a white man I can't possibly understand where you're coming from. It's always going to be alien. You say "I am black," and I say "so what?" I can only recognize the effect that status has as an intellectual exercise. I've never dealt with you based on race, just like I've never dealt with anyone based on race. So, it's much more relevant to me that we... more... - Jason Nunnelley

Which is my point. I can't just erase it from the factors of which I live by. Racism is a plague and I think we can both agree on that, but for me to reduce racial matters, that of my livelihood, to something like snake handlers in the mountains of Tennessee isn't something I just can just...do. But I hear you, and I am grateful for the dialogue. - Derrick

Derrick, I can recognize intellectually that it effects you personally. I realize that there are still a lot of racists out there. But, for you to deal with me based on what some racist did to you is like my wife dealing with me based on what some guy she dated in high school did. I realize it happens, but it's completely disconnected. Rahsheen's assertion that if I don't like Obama... more... - Jason Nunnelley

Derrick, BTW - my frustration is with Rahsheen's comments and not your comments. You're sounding pretty logical. Rahsheen's assertion that if I dislike Obama's politics I've got to be a bigot is infuriating. I'm not even so much arguing for me. I'm not really a big anti-Obama guy. I have a tad less frustration with Obama than I did with Bush. But, I just can't assign all political beliefs to race. It's too simplistic. - Jason Nunnelley

I can't speak for Rahsheen, and I'll say it again, things can be racial without being racist. I don't know why someone called you a bigot; I didn't call you one. - Derrick

As a retired teacher this whole event just shows me that teachers hands are tied. - kevin i mills

Does this only affect public schools, or is it an issue with the private institutions as well? - Kittyburgers

Wow. Over the top. - Rick Cogley

Lest we all think there was no outrage when President Bush the first spoke to students: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion... - Craig Eddy

I didn't call anyone anything. Just for the record. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

+1 Rick. And to think this all started with the issue of a permission slip being signed. No wonder people in other countries look at all of this and say "WTF?". - Allan Besselink

@Craig Eddy: Thanks for pointing out that link. - Kittyburgers

Coach Rahsheen, I perceived your statements (in the other thread) to be quite knee-jerk, assumptive. You've clarified that you were only talking about "some," though I'm not sure how one falls into this category. I'd consider the number of people that dislike Obama's policies because of race to be a tiny number compared to those that take issue w/ his policies. - Jason Nunnelley

@Jason Nunnelley: I don't think any reasonable individual would disagree with that. The race issue would most likely be minimal. - Kittyburgers

Kittyburgers, unfortunately I think otherwise rational people do disagree with me. It's a personal experience I can't understand - nobody that has lived a life without the experience unique to people of color can really understand it. We can only recognize unique experiences and viewpoints we don't understand. To me (likely you too), race just isn't a big deal. To someone that has their... more... - Jason Nunnelley

You try to correct the viewpoint of someone who, as you've said, can only have an experience you haven't had? That's mighty wh.... nah, I'm not going to say it. - cecily

White of me? - Jason Nunnelley

I think injecting race where it doesn't already exist is a counterproductive viewpoint. I understand why it may develop in one's psyche. I don't understand it. But, I accept that people who tell me about this feeling are honest and telling me their sincere feelings. As we develop a deeper understanding of each other I'd like to think we develop a more correct interpretation of others' beliefs, even if we disagree with them. The question is, is there hope? - Jason Nunnelley

Sad + Pathetic!!!!!! + this is AMERICA!!??? WAKE THE HELL UP PEOPLE!!! I can't believe this Garbage is Happening in America of all places* It's a Bloody Disgrace!! Good Riddance to Bush + Brainwashed Flock NeoCon Taliban-like Religious Zealot MORONS!!! - Billy Warhol

I'm late to this, but I have to say it's far more stinky where Jason sits than where Cecily sits. Jason, you seem to ignore the fact that Cecily's school was going to force each family to document why each child didn't show up for the Reagans, while the schools of this day were forcing parents and children to provide documentation to hear Obama speak. Dissert was not permitted for Reagan. Dissent was the default for Obama. Pure, udder (spelling deliberate) fecal matter. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

Ours (in conservative O.C., CA) was opt out - if you *didn't* want them to watch, you had to sign and return a slip. - Denise Howell

I really like the new iPhone app. But I am using from an iPod touch so I can really only use the basic features.

I still think that the BB version beats it-Comparing between my iPod Touch and my bberry, it is more integrated, and having it sync with my calendar and contacts is very nice - Mitchell Hislop

Walt, the friend lists you create can be used to filter the newsfeed (button top right) but you can't manipulate those lists at present unfortunately. - Franz Sittampalam

OMG Franz... I didn't even know they were there... Thank-You! As for manipulation, if they just allowed me to place a person in a list when I accepted their request via the app, I'd be fine with that. ;) - Walt Ruppar from iPhone

Liking it fine in general, but noticed that you can't comment on (or read comments on) a Note. - Virante

Walt, no probs! I had trouble finding this feature too, I wonder how many people are making use of friend lists? - Franz Sittampalam

I was broken in by Friendfeed with that... ;) but I know I have explained them many times to others. They are the key to privacy and give u the added bonus of filtering your news. - Walt Ruppar from iPhone

It is official, Glenn Beck has proven to be dumber than a sack of hair and has thereby proves that his viever base is just as smart.

This is all getting to be too much. - Anika

What is this parallel reality that's going on here right now? I'm really not getting it at all. - Kamilah Gill

No-one gets it, except for Beck and his absurd brain. - Rene Wirtz

I swear...he's gonna snap. He's at the breaking point with his paranoid ramblings that are getting more and more incoherent and absurd on national television. The paranoia is probably even higher now with the "rumor" satire gone viral... I will not be the least surprised if he takes an AK to work and starts shooting people. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

and then the lunatics will claim he was assassinated and make him a martyr. - Joe Silence is not dead

It's an affront that the Fox Corporation keeps him on the air, it shows the true bias of Rupert Murdoch. All advertizers on the Beck Show should also fully extract themselves from Fox and show Murdoch and his jingoist henchmen the finer points of capitalism. - Rene Wirtz

Oh definitely - I suspect Murdoch is perfectly content with what Beck is doing - because he knows that no matter how crazy, Beck has a loyal following. Also, I doubt the larger companies like Wally World et al will pull their funding from Fox News Affiliates, because the execs at the top happen to share Murdoch's views. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

Maybe the IRS should look more closely at Murdoch's zero tax status. - Rene Wirtz

Seriously, the guy is insane. - Alejandro

Anybody see "Point of Order" cinema verite documentary about the Army McCarthy Hearing. Beck is reminding me of the Joe Mccarthy breakdown in that film - WarLord

@WarLord: Interesting that you mention McCarthy, for a while now I have been thinking that what fringe wingers are doing at the moment resembles McCarthy's witch hunt. And the instigators are using the same words to instill fear. - Rene Wirtz

LOL - I've been cringing about McCarthyism for a LONG time now, though I didn't "label" it with McCarthy b.s. until July of last year in poetic form: (http://prosepetals.deviantart.com/art...) - though I had hinted at it also in poetic form back in 2004 (the original date of this writing http://www.storm-artists.net/full... submitted to dA in 2004,... more... - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

I give it two weeks before he starts waving a "list" in the air. - teh Dork Knight

Oh, I'm sure he is desperate to share his list of all the socialist, fascist, communist people who are pushing America down the drain. And yet there are people who believe Beck is *not* trying to get the president killed. How many more times must he call Obama a socialist, fascist, communist, while encouraging his flock to bring guns to town hall meetings. - Rene Wirtz

Denise: I guess every movement needs their "poster boy." Someone needs to add Glen Beck to the McCarthyism wikipedia entry and take a screenshot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... LoL - Bryan Lee

@Bryan: the picture that Olbermann uses would be nice *grin* - Rene Wirtz

@Rene: This picture would work too http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apuuyw... or maybe this one too http://www.foxnews.com/images... - Bryan Lee

@RENE: What really bothered me was Beck flat-out calling him a tyrant. (not in this clip, in earlier clips) According the our Declaration of Independence there's only one remedy for that: overthrow. - teh Dork Knight

@tehKenny: I know! And still there are people that say he isn't inciting hate and violence. I think these shit-for-brains will only truly see it when Obama gets assassinated. Then, of course, they will deny everything and try to spin it so that they are definitely not the blame, because they were always against violence. The ignorance and the blindness of the fringe right is baffling, stunning and amazing. - Rene Wirtz

@Bryan: he wears that hat well *LOL* - Rene Wirtz

@Rene: he does indeed :) - Bryan Lee

@Brian: I still like this one: http://s3.mediamatters.org/static... - his expressions says everything you need to know :P - Rene Wirtz

Doh! http://friendfeed-media.com/d6b249a... - Bryan Lee

What is his deal? All that same stuff has been there since Bush, and Clinton, and Regan, and Ford, and Carter, and....... Why is it just now something supporting Obama? Were people (most of which who are already dead and who made these things before Obama was born) part of some art conspiracy to brainwash us in 2009? WTF? - Her Lindsay-ness

@Lindsay: That is exactly the point Beck was making, kinda ludicrous. And Olbermann hacked into it with a blunt axe, not a scalpel. - Rene Wirtz

@Bryan: LOL! Beck's "O-Face" cracks me up! @Lindsey - the level of absurdity that the anti-Obama theories have reached is of *EPIC* proportions. There are those on the evangelical right who believe that Obama is (literally) the anti-christ, and they are tied in nicely with the birthers who believe that Obama's very *birth* was part of some vast left-wing plot to bring "communism" to the... more... - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

Dave, at one point I would have agreed that race was not a factor, except for that last point you mention. Obama is *NOT* liberal. He's a moderate (and in the ways that he's moderate are where I hold some of my heaviest criticism, even while I understand why he's "staying above the fray"). What you & I are calling the radical right (Beck, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, etc) - have become the voice... more... - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

Particularly since, only 9 short months into Obama's first term, the whitewashing of the Bush administration is fully under way. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

Wow just wow, how can a nut job like this have a program on a national TV station? He belongs in his own "space" on youtube where no one will "hear him scream" - Rasmus Lauridsen

LOL Rasmus - how about on Planet Cheney? ;) - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

Beck has to know he's a total goof. I think he positions himself as an "entertainer" - somewhat of an extreme polar opposite of John Stewart. Unfortunately his audience is influenced easily (hint: they're not very smart and *need* people to tell them what to think), so they take all this as "truth". I'd love to just laugh and laugh with him, but I truly believe that he's dangerous because of his lunatic fringe (2nd amendment loving) followers. - Vince DeGeorge

"I’ve been asked by many of you to do this, so here you all go: On the left, Kate Moss on her free time, natural and make-up less. On the right, Kate on the cover of W Magazine, with the perfect make-up on, styling, in the perfect light and helped by Photoshop. This “magazine Kate” seems to have everything… just no wrinkles. I think Kate is a great model, she is beautiful and she has a great bone structure…. but I just wish the difference between daily Kate and cover-girl Kate wouldn’t be as big, because the second picture sets unrealistic & false standards for the regular 35 year-old woman (Kate’s age).
