“America's intelligen­tsia.... she quit as governor and she quit on them.”

“nonsense - a photo is a photo. also, the contract wasn't with her it was with Runners World so there is nothing she can sue for - and Runners World be crazy to go after the photographer with all the free publicity they're getting - besides that, what could they get, a refund?”

“You mean sort of like banks, or financial investors (Madoff), or former Vice Presidents (what was that contract called? oh yea, the constituti­on)...”

“The problem with your suggestion is that even then the best grade she could possible get would be a D if she's lucky.”

“As a recovering Catholic, congrats DC! Keep this religious organization, and all religious organization, out of politics!”

“God forbid we actually respect the people, and their cultures that we deal with in the world. How un-BushChenney like.”

“Far from it...”

“I'm sorry but you do also need to blame home owners. No one seems to be taking individual responsibility for spending beyond their means which is indeed one of the primary catalysts of this mess. Millions of people were buying homes they really couldn't afford and then took out home equity loans and second mortgages against them. This part of the story is not getting enough of the focus. Everyone seems to be pointing a finger at everyone else instead of all of us taking responsibility.”

“total whack job!”

“So you are saying those without insurance, and unable to get insurance, should suffer because or Bush's and other repukelicans mistakes? That makes no sense.”

“Really? The why are we in the Iraq war, and why did your district continue to send Bush and the other republicans to Washington?”

“Really? The why are we in the Iraq war, and why did your district continue to send Bush and the other Repugs to Washington?”

“Excuse me but we have been "flat broke" before and will survive this period also.The sacrifices we should make is to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan as quickly as possible, and for Americans to start saving more. It is not just the (Republican) government that got us into this mess, it is the irresponsible and immoral acts of the financial community, along with individual spending habits, spending more than we make. So lets get the perspective right. What part of that don't you understand?”

“Ah yes, the perfect Republican ticket - Palin and Bachmann - the repuglicans would lose every single seat with such lunacy. Please do it!”

“One last comment that I forgot. Articles keep quoting the cost without a plan which is just nonsense. These phones get subsidized when you sign up for a contract. The reason they are priced so high is that they are unlocked, so they want to make sure you sign up for a contract with them and not someone else. (Although if you sign up with China Mobile the iPhone is only compatible on their 2G network and believe it or not, many would prefer to have it on China Mobile's 2G network as its the most popular - they even have coverage in the Beijing subway system whereas Unicom does not.)”

“These articles / reports are very misleading. I currently live and work in Beijing and can tell you that first, China Unicom has done a very poor job of promoting the iPhone and the launch. Second, the iPhone has gotten a great reception in China, there were already over 2 million users before it even officially went on sale here - I see them all over the place. Third, there has been very slow adoption of 3G so far in China as the networks were just put up in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of THIS YEAR due to China's failure to issue licenses until just recently. Most of the iPhones here are the original model, or if 3G only operating on the 2G networks. There is tremendous room for growth and further expansion. The one key area that is / will hold back the iPhone growth is the lack of Chinese language / market specific apps but that should now begin to accelerate rapidly. WiFi will follow soon, but meanwhile, the 3G service is very fast, possibly due to not many on the network yet. My 3G plan from Unicom on my unlocked 3Gs iPhone I purchased in Hong Kong is only $22/month, and is a mid-tier priced plan.”

“Sounds like entrapment! She'll get off - no pun intended.”

“I love the instore photos! Look at all the "blue screens" - classic microsux.”

“Is your head cover because of the brain surgery? Didn't help...”

“LOL - tell that to the suckers that bought Vista. Or to the suckers that are upgrading from XP to 7. Yeh but it was cheap...”

“Yes, value customers looking for the "Blue Screen Special".”

“You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. There is no 3-4 times price differential, even when looking at the retail price of just the hardware. In fact, when calculating total cost of ownership, up time, usability, productivity, customer satisfaction and far superior support, the Mac is clearly in the lead!”

“They look store bought...”

“Yeh - they were too busy making up their own "news"...”

“And what planet are you living on?????”
