2008/08/11 [15:49] <+WebPixie> the call; i like to hear it afterwards sometime via facebook, even if i don't call in
2008/08/11 [15:50] <+WebPixie> hi francine, recovered from the beach?
2008/08/11 [15:55] <+shareme> Russia aand Georgia news at NGL Public FF room http://friendfeed.com/rooms/newsgang
2008/08/11 [15:55] <+shareme> I posted some article links last few days
2008/08/11 [15:59] <+amyloo> webpixie jsut today realized you can listen to the call in facebook, hadn't thought about looking there before
2008/08/11 [15:59] <@TinaGillmor> Please stand by
2008/08/11 [16:00] <+WebPixie> yes it's great, amyloo
2008/08/11 [16:00] <+kshep> so you don't have to go to facebook anymore
2008/08/11 [16:00] <+kshep> you can just go register at calliflower.com
2008/08/11 [16:00] <+WebPixie> except there's no bumper music
2008/08/11 [16:00] <+kshep> and merge your facebook account
2008/08/11 [16:01] <+amyloo> is it always jsut the most recent two on both sites?
2008/08/11 [16:02] <+WebPixie> dunno about on calliflower but on fb you can check your updates to find out
2008/08/11 [16:02] <+kshep> most recent two?
2008/08/11 [16:03] <+amyloo> 2 most recent shows, just two on fb
2008/08/11 [16:03] <+kshep> the calliflower site looks just like facebook, but without faceook
2008/08/11 [16:04] <+amyloo> don't mind checking in thru fb, visit there anyway, not often but a time or two a week, no need to have an additional place to walk to
2008/08/11 [16:05] <+Karoli> http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/08/why-howard-wolfson-is-out-of-job.html
2008/08/11 [16:05] <+kshep> maybe she would have tried harder if Edwards hadn't been in
2008/08/11 [16:05] <+WebPixie> you can go to the older shows, amyloo, if the notifications are still there in fb (i think)
2008/08/11 [16:05] <+kshep> and therefore obviously would have won
2008/08/11 [16:06] <+kshep> fact, apparently
012008/08/11 [16:07] <+ConnectedGeek> question... off topic... has anyone had issues connecting to ustream.tv irc?
2008/08/11 [16:07] <+kshep> didn't today, CG, but have over the past week or so
012008/08/11 [16:07] <+ConnectedGeek> my mirc keeps getting disconnected
2008/08/11 [16:08] <+WebPixie> didn't debi say she was going to vote for mccain?
2008/08/11 [16:09] <+shareme> yeah I coudl not log i n via web interface had to try several times
2008/08/11 [16:09] <+amyloo> Debi changed her mind abotu that
2008/08/11 [16:09] <+WebPixie> ALL of her supporters are taking action?
2008/08/11 [16:09] <+kshep> therefore 'nobody ever said they were going to vote for mccain'
2008/08/11 [16:09] <+kshep> apparently
2008/08/11 [16:09] <+WebPixie> oh..i must have missed that, amyloo
2008/08/11 [16:10] <+WebPixie> that's what i get for not listening all the time ;)
2008/08/11 [16:10] <+amyloo> I know I'm biased but it looks like a bunch of sore losers to me, badly behaving 12 year olds
2008/08/11 [16:10] <+kshep> vote for the person you'd rather have in office
2008/08/11 [16:10] <+WebPixie> haha, kshep ....agreed, amyloo
2008/08/11 [16:11] <+kshep> "My candidate didn't win so I'm taking my vote and going home."
012008/08/11 [16:11] <+ConnectedGeek> @shareme if needed i created a web page to connect to this irc and a secondary irc at: http://gang.connectedgeek.net/node/108
2008/08/11 [16:12] <+WebPixie> who does declaring a party benefit except the pollsters?
2008/08/11 [16:12] <+kshep> An obama and clinton differ so much that there's no way a clinton supporter could possibly vote for obama
2008/08/11 [16:12] <+WebPixie> you're funny, kshep
2008/08/11 [16:12] <+shareme> Thanks CG
2008/08/11 [16:12] <+amyloo> that's what's ironic, ken, the candidates are not that far apart
2008/08/11 [16:12] <+amyloo> supporters are
2008/08/11 [16:14] <+kshep> So what are some issues where clinton is/was closer to McCain than to Obama? Gas tax holiday?
2008/08/11 [16:14] <+WebPixie> no, the republican party was divided in '92
2008/08/11 [16:14] <+amyloo> voting for the war initially
2008/08/11 [16:14] <+kshep> ClintonforVPGang
2008/08/11 [16:15] <+Karoli> @kshep gas tax holiday warmongering with Iran
2008/08/11 [16:16] <+WebPixie> a ringing endorsment from billary
2008/08/11 [16:16] <+amyloo> sounds like a stand off: pick her first; no, support me first
2008/08/11 [16:16] <+kshep> Anybody know where I can get olympics broadcast schedule info without results?
2008/08/11 [16:16] <+amyloo> but it's getting late for that
2008/08/11 [16:16] <+jromeh> no, it's WJC saying "what a goofy question"
2008/08/11 [16:18] <+amyloo> rhode island guy? vet but never in combat
2008/08/11 [16:18] <+WebPixie> biden with foreign policy experience?
2008/08/11 [16:18] <+WebPixie> dunno rhode island guy
2008/08/11 [16:18] <+WebPixie> who is that?
2008/08/11 [16:18] <+Abierto_cc> Obama has promised to tell me first when he makes his pick
2008/08/11 [16:19] <+WebPixie> and then you'll tell us, right abierto?
2008/08/11 [16:19] <+kshep> I'm happy to say that I will, in fact, accept the VP nomination.
2008/08/11 [16:19] <+jromeh> he told you that? how many did he say that to? !
2008/08/11 [16:19] <+Abierto_cc> I'm the only one who got that message I think, unless it was broadcast to all his contributors
2008/08/11 [16:20] <+kshep> He wouldn't do that, Abierto
2008/08/11 [16:20] <+WebPixie> and how much hillary has supported the vets and the military
2008/08/11 [16:20] <+amyloo> bayh still #1 in intrade, followed by kaine, then biden for whatever that's worth, not much
2008/08/11 [16:20] <+Abierto_cc> That's what I thought. I felt quite special
2008/08/11 [16:20] <+WebPixie> the bus can't move with all those ppl under there
2008/08/11 [16:20] <+WebPixie> he's in hawaii on vacztion
2008/08/11 [16:20] <+kshep> and as a presidential candidate he's not handling...yes... what Michael said
2008/08/11 [16:20] <+Karoli> great graphic. love it
2008/08/11 [16:21] <+Karoli> rofl, jerry
2008/08/11 [16:21] <+Abierto_cc> Have to agree about one president at a time
2008/08/11 [16:21] <+kshep> didn't y'all ever watch West Wing?
2008/08/11 [16:21] <+Abierto_cc> mis-understimated, I think
2008/08/11 [16:21] <+WebPixie> excellent, michael
2008/08/11 [16:21] <+WebPixie> he looked into his soul
2008/08/11 [16:21] <+Abierto_cc> I felt his pain
2008/08/11 [16:21] <+jromeh> let GWB mess it up first
2008/08/11 [16:22] <+Abierto_cc> you know those georgians have nukes
2008/08/11 [16:22] <+kshep> Remember when Jimmy Smits was running, and was like "I'm all tough", and the Charlie Sheen's dad was like "Y'all better settle this before we let Dt. Simone loose on ya..."
2008/08/11 [16:23] <+WebPixie> not yet
2008/08/11 [16:23] <+Abierto_cc> I always liked the daughter
2008/08/11 [16:23] <+Abierto_cc> a little young, but she was sizzling
2008/08/11 [16:23] <+WebPixie> and natural gas
2008/08/11 [16:24] <+kshep> early years with Sorkin were SO much better than the last couple seasons
2008/08/11 [16:24] <+kshep> not even funny
2008/08/11 [16:24] <+WebPixie> those early seasons were pretty great
2008/08/11 [16:24] <+Abierto_cc> if the democrats say word one about the georgian situation, they will be in error
2008/08/11 [16:24] <+Abierto_cc> serious error
2008/08/11 [16:25] <+WebPixie> fight the russians there or fight them at the north pole, for oil either way
2008/08/11 [16:25] <+Abierto_cc> good point pixie
2008/08/11 [16:25] <+WebPixie> you're absolutely right, abierto
2008/08/11 [16:25] <+WebPixie> i meant about the democrats
2008/08/11 [16:25] <+kshep> You know what I've found really strange RE Georgia... seeing war among folks who "look like us"
2008/08/11 [16:26] <+Abierto_cc> might as well hold them in the caucasus before they get imperial ambitions about our reindeer
2008/08/11 [16:26] <+WebPixie> if dems spoke about georgia, all would say they're playing president too soon
2008/08/11 [16:26] <+shareme> Caucaus slavi depsite the race nomenclature kshep
2008/08/11 [16:26] <+WebPixie> poor santa, in the middle of all that
2008/08/11 [16:27] <+Abierto_cc> those slavs are all interbred with mongols and such
2008/08/11 [16:27] <+kshep> seeing war in eastern europe... what we planned for for 40 years or so
2008/08/11 [16:27] <+Abierto_cc> have to get to germany before you have a pure hunnish strain of caucasian
2008/08/11 [16:27] <+shareme> no mongols diferent.. Georgia 3 different slavic groups and muslems
2008/08/11 [16:27] <+Abierto_cc> what about the UKKK?
2008/08/11 [16:28] <+kshep> relatively western culture, western dress, western architecture, temperate climate...

2008/08/11 [16:33] <+kshep> Being born in Hawaii is elitist
2008/08/11 [16:33] <+Abierto_cc> going to punahou is elitist

2008/08/11 [16:34] <+Abierto_cc> south padre is not as elitist, even though the whooping cranes go there for the winter
2008/08/11 [16:34] <+kshep> bailed

2008/08/11 [16:34] <+hardaway> The fighting which broke out over the weekend between Russia and Georgia has brought Israel's intensive involvement in the region into the limelight. This involvement includes the sale of advanced weapons to Georgia and the training of the Georgian army's infantry forces.

2008/08/11 [16:38] <@theagent> 4x100 was awesome
2008/08/11 [16:41] <+kshep> The 4x100 was good, but NOTHING matches the WR peformance David Kostelecky put in in Trap. Awesome. 146/150
2008/08/11 [16:43] <@theagent> the issue is the issue of servitude. These kids are pulled at birth to do this...

2008/08/11 [16:48] <@theagent> I personally think that navigation on nbcolympics.com sucks
2008/08/11 [16:48] <@theagent> until it causes a BSOD
2008/08/11 [16:48] <+WebPixie> the fullsceen isn't fullscreen
2008/08/11 [16:48] <+amyloo> the home page is junky, one of those jam everything on it things

2008/08/11 [16:50] <+WebPixie> never mind
2008/08/11 [16:50] <+WebPixie> blue screen of death, got it
2008/08/11 [16:51] <+kshep> the only event I truly wanted to watch was spoiled by NBC, when I was trying to go to their site to watch it
2008/08/11 [16:51] <@theagent> event level urls' http://www.nbcolympics.com/archery/index.html
2008/08/11 [16:51] <+amyloo> reactions on twitter to the openign ceremonies was fun to watch, didn't hear anyone agree with bob costas that drummers were too intimidating
2008/08/11 [16:51] <+kshep> but you can't go to that URL after the even, Jerry, or you'll see results
2008/08/11 [16:52] <@theagent> http://www.nbcolympics.com/badminton/video/index.html
2008/08/11 [16:52] <+WebPixie> nope, he'll announcement at the convention - that's my story and i'm sticking with it
2008/08/11 [16:52] <+shareme> will he anounce it in HAwaii?

2008/08/11 [16:54] <+amyloo> wonder if joe trippi knew, has he mentioned it on twitter?
2008/08/11 [16:55] <+WebPixie> and announced the same day it was announced bill had a speaking slot
2008/08/11 [16:55] <+Karoli> @amyloo he mentioned. just said he hopes they heal, was proud of poverty and healthcare
2008/08/11 [16:55] <+Abierto_cc> I'll bet there was some hugging and kissing going on
2008/08/11 [16:55] <+amyloo> I'd want to know!
2008/08/11 [16:55] <+sinewave> what about the other guy. living in a 5 mill house?
2008/08/11 [16:55] <+Abierto_cc> what kind of a stupid comment is that?
2008/08/11 [16:56] <+Abierto_cc> she knows who the father is, and it's none of our business
2008/08/11 [16:56] <+sinewave> 15,000 a month she's getting paid off?
2008/08/11 [16:56] <+amyloo> does seem an excessive payoff just for keeping quiet
2008/08/11 [16:56] <+shareme> alledgedly millionsof dollars per year
2008/08/11 [16:56] <+Abierto_cc> well, she does know, so why are you beating this horse
2008/08/11 [16:56] <+Abierto_cc> ???
2008/08/11 [16:57] <+Abierto_cc> WHO CARES WHO THE FATHER IS?????
2008/08/11 [16:57] <+WebPixie> right, who cares
2008/08/11 [16:57] <+Abierto_cc> maybe he was scoring some smack
2008/08/11 [16:57] <+WebPixie> except the clintons
2008/08/11 [16:57] <+Abierto_cc> maybe he was delivering a d3ep dish pizza
2008/08/11 [16:58] <+WebPixie> maybe he just likes to hold babies
2008/08/11 [16:58] <+Abierto_cc> maybe he was dropping off state secrets for transmission to the Georgians
2008/08/11 [16:58] <+Abierto_cc> or the alabamans
2008/08/11 [16:58] <+WebPixie> hahaha
2008/08/11 [16:58] <+kshep> Glad we didn't get dragged into talking about Edwards.
2008/08/11 [16:58] <+kshep> Later all
2008/08/11 [16:58] <+sinewave> gotta love the National Inquirer
2008/08/11 [16:58] <@theagent> I heard she was his private Botox technician
2008/08/11 [16:58] <+shareme> Frank Barron
2008/08/11 [16:59] <+WebPixie> who cares except that the press wants us to care for ratings and $$'s
2008/08/11 [16:59] <+Abierto_cc> closest thing to typical network news that this campaign has churned out
2008/08/11 [17:00] <+Abierto_cc> fortunately, we no longer follow typical network news
2008/08/11 [17:00] <+WebPixie> and we know this how, debi?
2008/08/11 [17:00] <@theagent> Yeah, she saw his campaign staff up close and personal
2008/08/11 [17:00] <+sinewave> CNN has a good report on it with the guys who confronted Edwards
2008/08/11 [17:00] <+WebPixie> it's clinton spin
2008/08/11 [17:01] <+sinewave> not anymore
2008/08/11 [17:01] <+amyloo> msnbc pre-empting the first hardball and race for wh, but second hb, olbermann and abrams scheduled
2008/08/11 [17:01] <+Abierto_cc> but so what if he was, so what if they made the two backed beast, SFW?
2008/08/11 [17:01] <+sinewave> he's a player hater
2008/08/11 [17:01] <+Abierto_cc> let's stop all this player hateration
2008/08/11 [17:02] <+WebPixie> clinton spin!!!
2008/08/11 [17:02] <@theagent> she's just a cover story for his real affair with Scoble
2008/08/11 [17:02] <+Abierto_cc> there you have it
2008/08/11 [17:02] <+sinewave> scoble!
2008/08/11 [17:02] <+Abierto_cc> it is all scoble's fault
2008/08/11 [17:02] <+sinewave> i blame scoble
2008/08/11 [17:02] <+WebPixie> yep, it's a coverup for scoble
2008/08/11 [17:03] <+WebPixie> funny coincidences, eh?
2008/08/11 [17:04] <+WebPixie> msm the new religion; religion is the opium of the masses
2008/08/11 [17:04] <@theagent> no other proof needed... I rest my case
2008/08/11 [17:04] <+WebPixie> not that i have anything against religion
2008/08/11 [17:04] <+sinewave> OMG!
2008/08/11 [17:05] <+sinewave> scoble with his pants down
2008/08/11 [17:05] <+sinewave> dropped the soap?
2008/08/11 [17:05] <+WebPixie> you think that's shel, it's really edwards
2008/08/11 [17:05] <+Karoli> LOL, the naked Scoble/Shel pic
2008/08/11 [17:05] <+Karoli> a scandal
2008/08/11 [17:05] <+Karoli> ROFL
2008/08/11 [17:06] <+WebPixie> back in the ussr!
2008/08/11 [17:06] <+WebPixie> but nothing will be done about it
2008/08/11 [17:06] <+WebPixie> so they're in contempt
2008/08/11 [17:07] <+WebPixie> i wonder how lagged i am over here
2008/08/11 [17:07] <+WebPixie> that's why they're REALLY adjorned. nothing to do with oil thing
2008/08/11 [17:08] <+WebPixie> even ashcroft couldn't stand it there
2008/08/11 [17:10] <+WebPixie> 2 impeachments in my lifetime are enough, but corrupt government would be worse
2008/08/11 [17:10] <+amyloo> here's a crazy congress thing: status of oil commodities speculation bill has been referred to conference committee of the Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry committee
2008/08/11 [17:10] <+shareme> Bull doze Congress and start over
2008/08/11 [17:10] <+Karoli> @amyloo that's just bizarre
2008/08/11 [17:11] <+WebPixie> well that makes a lot of sense, amyloo :\
2008/08/11 [17:11] <+WebPixie> bizarre indeed
2008/08/11 [17:12] <+WebPixie> aren't most commodities ag, etc. products tho'?
2008/08/11 [17:12] <+amyloo> right, like pork bellies, we know about that here in chicago, also sticking it in committee is the way lobbyists have of killing bills
2008/08/11 [17:13] <+WebPixie> of course!
2008/08/11 [17:13] <+amyloo> but airlines are FOR regulation of speculation, interesting that all business doesn't line up on this
2008/08/11 [17:13] <@theagent> Armegeddon, just around the corner
2008/08/11 [17:14] <+shareme> Arm shipments stopped according to Israel
2008/08/11 [17:14] <+shareme> Geogria bought light arms from Israel
2008/08/11 [17:15] <+shareme> He wil ldo it before he gets back
2008/08/11 [17:15] <+sinewave> so what is the connection with the US and Georgia?
2008/08/11 [17:15] <+WebPixie> at the convention
2008/08/11 [17:15] <+amyloo> i agree with michael, but it might be my own wishful thinking that it will happen sooner than later
2008/08/11 [17:16] <+WebPixie> no, he's telling abierto first
2008/08/11 [17:17] <+Abierto_cc> I'll let you all know
