Great Google-y Moogley what's the Buzz

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Google is making it easier to socialize on its e-mail service. It's unveiling a new "Google Buzz" feature that sets up a face-off with Facebook.

The feature unveiled Tuesday will enable Gmail users to create status updates on Google Buzz and read and comment on the updates posted by their friends.

Other tools turn Gmail into a showcase for sharing video, pictures and Web links to interesting stories, just as users can on Facebook and Twitter.

Gmail's new twists are a direct response to Facebook's rapid rise since it started six years ago.

Facebook now has more than 400 million worldwide users, many of whom post information that can't be indexed by Google's search engine. Facebook's large audience also threatens to siphon away some of Google's advertising sales.

Google Buzz was described as 'a new way to share and communicate' in Gmail.

With the new product, Google seeks to solve what it characterizes as a 'relevancy and ranking problem' posed by the volume of content produced and shared on social media.

So I've been testing it the past two days myself, I definitely see the potential...this is what google wave should have been...

Waterboarding For loot!

My Boy Keith Olbermann, is jumping at the opportunity to challenge Fox New's Reporter Sean Hannity. Hannity making light of the severity of waterboarding mentioned he would do it for the troops, well good old Keith challenged him for $1000 per second, to go to the family of the troops.... Let the madness begin! (This could be more entertaining then that show "Hole in the Wall" LMAO)

NEW YORK (AP) — The debate over torture is getting personal for two of
cable TV's prime-time hosts. After Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity made a
seemingly impromptu offer last week to undergo waterboarding as a benefit for
charity, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann leapt at it. He offered $1,000 to the families
of U.S. troops for every second Hannity withstood the technique.

Olbermann repeated the offer on Monday's show and said in an interview
Tuesday that he's heard no response. He said he'll continue to pursue it.

"I don't think he has the courage to even respond to this — let alone do
it," Olbermann said.

Fox News Channel representatives did not respond to
requests for comment.

The two men are on opposite poles of a debate that
has preoccupied the worlds of talk TV and radio. Hannity says waterboarding is a
fair and necessary interrogation technique for suspected terrorists; Olbermann
calls it torture, says it's ineffective and should not be done by Americans.

Charles Grodin was challenging Hannity on the issue on Fox last week,
and asked whether he would consent to be waterboarded.

"Sure," Hannity
said. "I'll do it for charity ... I'll do it for the troops' families."

It wasn't exactly clear how serious the conversation was, since Grodin
joked, "Are you busy on Sunday?" and Hannity laughed.

"I'll let you do
it," Hannity said.

"I wouldn't do it," Grodin said. "I'll hand you a
towel when you come out of the shower."

Olbermann's offer was quick.
Besides the $1,000 per second, Olbermann said he'd double it if Hannity
acknowledges he feared for his life and admits that waterboarding is torture.

"The idea of putting somebody in a position they have volunteered for,
for charity, to respond to their own unsupportable claims, is in many ways
priceless," Olbermann said.

Olbermann, who hasn't missed any chance to
criticize his ideological enemies at Fox, concedes TV competition plays a part
in his offer. But he said it was sincere, because he believes Hannity has had a
damaging role in the debate.

"If you expose people to reality, even with
someone who is denying reality, that can have a powerful and important impact,"
he said.

With All Due Respect...Get the F@cK Outta here!

With All Due Respect (Now Remember I said that first) Can we please stop with the pettiness of who blames who for what and have a Damn Meeting about stuff that's important.....

I mean OK so now we don't go to a racism conference because the wording implies that somehow and someway Israel might be wrong for what again....

OH BOMBING THE HOLY CRAP OUT OF PALESTINE....

But we can have a president shake Russia's leader hand right after an altercation, or we can talk about peacing it up with all of our enemies, but Israel's skin isn't thick enough to take a sentence in a document, as criticism....

Isn't that the damn point of the meeting...how can you talk about racism if you won't show and we won't go because the criteria may put you in that category, fucking come and clear the shit up if your not wrong...... Obama, and administration, please untuck your tails from between your legs and go Represent...AMERICA! Now remember I did say with all due respect......

Despite efforts to rephrase the language in a rough draft conference
document, the Obama administration has confirmed its decision to boycott "with
regret" this week's World Conference Against Racism in Geneva. The
administration believes the final text draft could potentially isolate Israel
and that it compromises free speech, the State Department said Saturday.

The World Conference Against Racism, also known as Durban II, ignited a
firestorm of controversy when the Obama administration initially said it would
boycott the event in February of this year, after the original conference essay
was released. As reported by The Washington Post, the document was 45 pages and
is believed by White House officials to be instigating racial hatred and
perpetuating anti-Semitism. The text contained the term,
"validation of Islamophobia" alleging Israel's treatment of
the Palestinians is racially motivated and also calls for reparations for
slavery.

As a result of the Obama administrations disapproval, the
preliminary content had been edited to remove negative statements towards
Israel, condensed and revised. Despite the language compromises the
administration remained hesitant to attend, sparking fury among civil advocacy
groups who believe the first black U.S. president should make a point to be
present.

Imani Countess, Senior Director for public
affairs at TransAfrica Forum, an advocacy group whose
focal point is U.S. foreign policy, said "for his administration not to be
present at this global conversation is a disappointment. For President Bush not
to participate, that would have been expected. For Barack Obama's administration not
to participate sends a disappointing signal. It says these issues are not
important."

Department spokesman Robert Wood said the administration was
"deeply grateful" for the revisions that were made, however, the document is
still believed to contain problematic language and references.

"Unfortunately, it now seems certain these remaining concerns will not
be addressed in the document to be adopted by the conference next week," Wood
said. "Therefore, with regret, the United States will not join the review
conference."

In spite of the decision, Wood emphasized that the U.S. "is
profoundly committed to ending racism and racial discrimination" and "will work
with all people and nations to build greater resolve and enduring political will
to halt racism and discrimination wherever it occurs."

Conversely,
Democratic State Representative of California Barbara Lee, who is a chair member
of the Black caucus said the group is "deeply dismayed."

"This decision
is inconsistent with the administration's policy of engaging with those we agree
with and those we disagree with," Lee said. "By boycotting Durban, the U.S. is
making it more difficult for it to play a leadership role on U.N. Human Rights
Council as it states it plans to do. This is a missed opportunity, plain and
simple."

The new draft was created to reverse the administrations
decision not to attend and was believed to have appeased the president's
objections. However, the changes were inadequate and failed to gain Obama's approval.

"This is a big blow," Countess said. "Given the high priority the
administration places on international engagement and multilateralism, this is just a little bit
baffling."

Colbert is killing Fox's Beck right here!

The 10/31 Project

Colbert Report Full Episodes Political Humor NASA Name Contest

Stephen Colbert ripped apart Fox News host (and New York Times cover boy) Glenn Beck Tuesday night, mocking his 9-12 project, meant to conjure the spirit of compassion and camaraderie Americans felt on September 12, 2001.

"We weren't told how to behave that day after 9/11, we just knew," Beck says to describe the project. "It was right, it was the opposite of what we feel today. Are you ready to be the person you were that day after 9/11, on 9/12?"

"Ready!" Colbert shouted, decked out in a gas mask, holding a gun, and wearing adult diapers.

Colbert then used a classic "Daily Show," exposing the hypocrisy of Beck's 9-12 project by highlighting comments he made on September 9, 2005.

"This is horrible to say, and I wonder if I'm alone in this," Beck said on his radio program that day, "you know it took me about a year to start hating the 9/11 victims' families? I don't hate all of them. I hate probably about 10 of them. But when I see a 9-11 victim family on television, or whatever, I'm just like, 'Oh, shut up!' I'm so sick of them because they're always complaining. And we did our best for them."

"The 9-12 project is not for families directly affected by 9/11, just people building their careers on it," Colbert said.

Colbert went on to mock Beck's now infamous tendency to cry, and to launch his own "democratic experiment, the 10-31 project."

"It will be scare and balanced!" he joked.
