ps check out some of the flickr photos some kids saved off of myspace before all profiles were set to private - one of em calls sarah palin mominlaw - so maybe it's the son's girlfriend's baby. ok to have 1 out of wedlock but 2? that'd be scandalous! i dunno, but foller the links. not to mention our good boy Levi is in a pic w/ some good ole fashion underage drinkin. http://allied.blogspot.com/2008...
- jeneane sessum
I find the underage drinking and all that to be fine, and the pregnancy is somewhat tragic, but the "moral majority" types must really be getting the creeps about all of this.
- Anthony Citrano
I don't think you went overboard. Not as much as the self righteous right wing Rush/Rove fans take things. Its about time we call them on their shit.
- CW™
you guys are un-fucking believable.
- David Risley
Although it is bad, I'm not all that upset about the underage drinking, except that, again, these kids were probably never clued in to what would have been expected of them as children of a politician, and, as a result, were never held at a higher standard - by the PARENTS. That Levi seems to be a piece, though, let me tell you...
- Helen Sventitsky
Helen, the children of prominent public officials can pretty much do what any other normal kids would do, provided there is an appropriate level of discretion among the other friends. (As well it should be.)
- Anthony Citrano
And apparently that discretion among other friends has been minimal to non-existent, LOL!
- Helen Sventitsky
Lame post. So much anger. People too far to the left or right are crazy.
- Scott Wamsley
@Helen, good point. I've gotten in / caused all kinds of trouble with kids from similarly situated families, but none of us were taking pictures for our Myspace pages.
- Anthony Citrano
...whoa! Harsh? Perhaps, but sometimes you just have to get it out of your system. I think the situation makes Palin's "family values" aspect run a little shallow, but such things happen. Hopefully, the young Bristol Palin will not become another Britney Spears or other such nit-wit.
- JA Castillo
I think the most interesting thing to come out of this is that Palin issued a statement saying she and her husband were "proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby." Decision = Choice. Is this an acknowledgment that there was a choice involved? Press release here: http://tinyurl.com/5zo726
- Steve Lowe
Hrm, good point, Steve
- Anthony Citrano
I noticed that as well Steve and that comment is fair game for political discussion I feel. But Obama can't say it, neither can Biden. However, it needs to be pointed out.
- R. Ferguson
Damn. Dammmmmmmmmmmmn. LOL @Steve, I agree, people forget to acknowledge that keeping a baby conceived out of wedlock is a choice.
- Trish R
You forgot to mention: Palin eloped and had her first kid *8* months later. Is it a double-whammy of Palin hypocrisy?
- Kevin Hessel
Ah...Nice discussion. Good point, Steve, but then it begs the question: did Bristol make the choice? Or was the choice made for her? We may never know. And yes, Greg, you are out of touch. :p

Oh my god. I can't find the words. I do not know how to describe or explain this. At least with the other video you could just say bad satire. After the past week, how can you release this video?
- Rob Diana
Yikes. That passes my litmus test. Whether truly a rascist or just acting out for attention, that is putrid stuff.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
from fftogo
Loren Feldman is either a racist or is choosing to use racist humor to create a firestorm of commentary that results in links, traffic, and personal reputation. Either way, he is not deserving of any mindshare or attention. Lets just ignore and BLOCK him and move on to more important issues.
- Elliott Ng
The conversation is building again: "Ignore him, he's a sorry excuse for humanity" or "Those who ignore him are just as guilty." I tend toward the former but another commenter the other day implied that meant I had no morals or ethics. If nothing else, we can all agree that he's pathetic and needs to climb back under his rock.
- Carla Thompson
I had never heard of him until reading this, so I'll just move on and forget his name in thirty seconds.
- Rob Reed
You know, I've really liked a lot of Loren's stuff in the past -- most of it actually. I think this video though is sad. It's not at all funny. It's meant to be inflammatory without any redeeming quality that I can find. Even though it's humor, even though it's a puppet, I find it racist as well. That's too bad.
- Thomas Hawk
Thomas: Sorry that you like or liked Loren's stuff. I have always thought him a bit of a slimeball
- Brian Sullivan
I'm sure he'll continue to argue he's not a racist, but whether he is or not doesn't matter to me. Being as painfully stupid and unfunny as he is, should be a crime of some sort.
- Richard Lawler
from twhirl
Like Thomas, I really a like a lot of his stuff (his puppet interviews with people in the tech industry were great among other things), he's very smart and talented, but I always kinda imagined him as reincarnated Nazi officer or something like that. The whole 1938 thing, his theme song, his looks and voice. Makes me think of World War II. It'd sure be interesting to have a talented psychic do a reading on him! I have nothing against him though, and look forward to see what he has in store.
- Vincent X
yeah I really do wish that people who insist on linking to him, even if just to point out his racist jackassery, would use either nofollow, or title="racist asshole"
- Ross McKillop
Vinny, I think Feldman might be able to pull something like that off if he did it right in part because he's Jewish. In the same way that Chris Rock can pull some of his humor off because he's black. You have to be careful with racial sterotype stuff though. I think that this video 1. is not funny or intelligent and 2. is racist and alienates a whole bunch of people for no discernible reason that I can tell. It's a bad move and bad for Loren and his show.
- Thomas Hawk
Yawn
- sean percival
Loren has sure received a lot of attention (and free press) because of all of this. Why doesn't everyone just ignore him and move on?

Feldman strikes me as the kinda guy who would pound his thumb with a hammer thirty times in a row just to prove that he actually meant to miss the nail the first time.

- Thomas Hawk
Nice photos Hawk.
- Scott Wamsley
I aggre with Nick -- I am guessing just a function of whatever processing both sites do to get from the uploaded pictures to the thumbnails. Wasn't there a huge stink awhile ago with people claiming Flickr altered their pictures around this issue?
- Brian Sullivan
Color and saturation look the same, but it looks like Flickr does apply a sharpen on thumbnail creation. Viewed from Windows Firefox3 w/ color mgmt turned on.
- Mark Anderson
Now that you mention it, the flickr thumbnails do look slightly sharper and have a higher contrast
- Andrew Smith
I also see a slight quality difference between Flickr and Zoomr thumbnails here on FF, Flickr being slightly sharper or Zoomer softer. Using a Mac, FF3 (with the config set to better graphics), Samsung 24" LCD. On my second monitor, an older LG, can't really see anything different, Vladimir being one that is real obvious. Viewing them on Flicker and Zoomer I really can't tell a difference so I am guessing it has to do with the thumnails - [ed: actually, the two images on Flickr/Zoomr are diff by 1px wide]
- William Reveal
Only noticed because of Nick´s comment. Vladimir is the most obvious one for me as well. Leadership is another one where I can more clearly see the black dots in Flickr than in Zooomr.
- Juan Pablo González
Definitely see same difference others mentioned (on a PC). But only when viewed side by side.
- Alexei Tolkachev
I just checked the thumbnails for the photos I uploaded last night to both services and the Flickr ones seem slightly sharper and more contrasty. I suspect that this is due to Kris backing off on the sharpening at Zooomr due to user complaints in the past of over sharpening. I hadn't noticed before until it was brought up here. It is rather subtle.

For the past couple months or so, I've been having a large sweetened Zen (green) tea, iced. Before that, it was a small or medium iced white choc mocha (sometimes with an extra shot). When it is cold, I like the gingerbread or pumpkin latte.

I drink tons of tea, but don't really think of it as being a caffeinated beverage. It's just... tea, you know? They give it to kids in Russia before bed so they sleep better. Otherwise, cappuccino, made right. Which happens just about once a year.
- Alexei Tolkachev
on the weekends, strong black coffee that i make in a cone filter. in the afternoons, a Diet Coke. At work I get a 4-shot latte. @Zach Landes: in L.A. they call that a Red Eye or a Depth Charge. :)

The ATT store here only has 30 phones in stock with about 60 people in line. Bummer. The real pisser is they'll let you go ahead and set up an account and notify you when the phones are in stock. So, um, why couldn't we order them online to begin with??
wow! seems like a lot of people are running into the same problem. good thing I slept in today.
