@dwharrison001: Kindle 2 came out in two different editions: US and later the International version was added.
@solracer: OK. I'll agree, especially for the 'missions' the guys get sent on.
@solracer: Look, I think Murilee is a saucy minx as much as the next Jalop, but do you really think she'd appeal to mainstream audiences?
@Ryan: Do you use a wired remote to control your TV, or do you have to leave the couch and walk across the living room?
I'm interested in any news that Honda is making a car that isn't completely boring and lacking in character.
What happens if someone gifted you a one year membership?
Will the membership length be adjusted down?

@chiieddy: Also illegal in Maryland if you record it without informing the other party.

Are they giving discounts to people with seats in the East end zone?
@acx: The fact that Farago worked as a hypnotist prior to starting TTAC also seemed like one of the more random career paths.

Anyway, I enjoyed what he did over at TTAC, and especially appreciated when he kept up with the daily 10 minute podcasts. In fact, still miss them.
Best of luck to Murilee!

@When_you_get_the_money_you_get...: I think so.
I liked this recent ripping of the BCS.

@jingleballz:
Falwell has passed away. But before he died, in '07, he said:
"If he's pro-life, pro-family, I don't think he'll have any problem getting the support of evangelical Christians."
[www.nysun.com]
Robertson invited Romney to speak at his Regent University in '07, though he did later endorse Giuliani instead.
Dobson appeared via video at Beck's rally earlier this year. When Dobson initially endorsed Huckabee in '07, he said:
"I don't believe that conservative Christians in large numbers will vote for a Mormon but that remains to be seen, I guess."
Romney did receive endorsement from Moral Majority co-founder Paul Weyrich and conservative Bob Jones III last time around.
When the focus is Obama, these guys will line up behind each other. Robertson didn't like McCain either, but once Palin was on board, he was more than willing to jump on the doomed ship.

@mozzy: That is a huge concern and I think it made a difference in 2006.
However, I really think Beck has been able to make Mormonism seem more like a mainstream sect, which is how many Protestants view Catholicism.
There's still a significant divide between Catholics and Protestants on theological issues, but the Christian Right still seems to be able to come together when it comes time to vote. If you keep the religious language very simple, like Beck did at his rally, people will be able to set the theology aside and focus on Tea Party stuff or whatever.
Also, I spelled Haley Barbour's name wrong before.

Here's what I think is her best shot at getting in the White House: Being Romney's VP candidate.
Romney will run, and win the nomination on his business background. But while that gets CEOs fired up at the thought of lower taxes, he doesn't connect with people in the "Heartland" all that well.
Palin would bring to Romney the passionate Tea Partiers, and ease the minds of those on the Christian Right who would have misgivings over his Mormonism. Romney would do the talking and bring in money from the business conservatives. Palin would bring the "grass roots" of the social conservatives.
Now, could she accept being #2 again, or would she continue squabbling like she did with McCain? I don't know. I do think that she's savvy (I don't want to say smart) enough to know that she's got little chance of actually winning the Presidency herself, and that running for the Presidency and losing is a big blow to your public image (and ability to make $$$ and be on TV). All this talk about seriously considering running just keeps her in the spotlight.
Thus, I think there are only two likely options for Palin's future:
1. Settle for a VP slot with a candidate more likely to win.
2. Make all the appearances of considering running, then announcing that she believes she can do more for "her country" by acting as an outsider (and continue making $$$). Then, she'll just do in 2012 what she did in 2010 - being on Fox, making endorsements, and making bank.
If I had to bet, I'd bet on the later.
Also, I think Romney is the only candidate who could possibly beat Obama nationally, and is thus the only one who really scares me.
I think the others (Gingrich, Barber, Thune, Pawlenty, etc) wouldn't stand a chance. Too many negatives or not enough charisma to get out the vote.

@zooropa_83: Seriously, how could anyone hate one someone making a mature, forward thinking decision like this.
Props for Newton, and for UT not throwing the kid under the bus.

10:08: @Facebook.com e-mail addresses confirmed.
"10:14: Facebook e-mail address matches your username. But the system is definitely not e-mail. It’s more like chat, Boz says."
"Q: I just asked about Facebook’s corporate e-mail addresses. What will they use?
A: @fb.com."
Hope everyone snagged the username they wanted a couple years ago.

@ChristianHL: The only thing that will shrink Facebook's user base is if some new version of social networking comes along and over takes it. (See the fall of Myspace)
If you think the general public is going to just stop using social networking tools, then you're woefully unaware of the power of this innovation in communication.
I'm not a big user of Facebook either, but if you think that its going to go away without something else coming along that you are going to hate just as much, you're in for a long and difficult relationship with technology.

How do you set your address for the @facebook account? There are a lot of John Smith's in the world.
