Brain-dead Americans

Cindy McCain says Palin has the foreign policy experience “because Alaska is close to Russia.” Oh and by the way, Palin also believes that some entity up in the clouds created the world and the world is only 6000 years old as the Bible says… Seriously… I have no words left.

- Lyda Green, Republican State Senate President in Alaska on Sarah Palin.

Absolutely. Yup, yup.

Absolutely. Yup, yup.
- McCain’s VP choice, answering whether she’s ready to to be one heartbeat away from being the Leader of the Free World. Is this how a potential president behaves?

Republican scum

“I think [Obama’s] going to make an intensely political choice, not a governing choice,” Rove said. “He’s going to view this through the prism of a candidate, not through the prism of president; that is to say, he’s going to pick somebody that he thinks will on the margin help him in a state like […]

    An Israeli army officer who fired the entire magazine of his automatic rifle into a 13-year-old Palestinian girl and then said he would have done the same even if she had been three years old was acquitted on all charges by a military court yesterday.

    What would make the Israeli Terrorist say such a thing? Because they are not human but are the scum of the Earth.

    Gmail is rolling out “Priority Inbox” a Facebook-like feature that predicts what emails are most important to you.

    As messages come in, Gmail automatically flags some of them as important. Gmail uses a variety of signals to predict which messages are important, including the people you email most (if you email Bob a lot, a message from Bob is probably important) and which messages you open and reply to (these are likely more important than the ones you skip over).

    I dont like Facebook telling me who my friends are, and Im not sure I like Gmail telling me what email is more important. I will just have to see how it works once I start seeing the Priority Inbox feature on my Gmail account.
