Why would Facebook need offices? What jobs would be available at Facebook? Isn't it just a DIY social network framework, coded by some nerd in his college dorm?
These are mostly rhetorical questions I'm asking out of boredom...
Wasn't Carly Fiorina the chick that nearly ruined Hewlett-Packard? Now she's running as a republican... the party of um, big business. WTF? Please don't tell me she's running as an 'outsider' what can fix the Gub'mint with her amazing managerial skills. Her track record shows that managing her way out of a damp paper bag is pretty much beyond her.
Te saddest thing about yesterday is that CA followed us and voted for a top two primary. Yuck.
It means the death of third parties and it makes it easier for a rich and/ or famous person to make it to the general election without having to campaign first. It helps those with enough name recognition (see Rossi, Dino).
@9 I've been thinking that it's interesting that two of the most prominent (I was going to say successful, but yeah Carly kinda screwed HP) women corporate executives are Republicans running for office in California. Is it a coincidence? Or is there are reason?
It is incredible that male conservatives don't think twice about voting for women candidates anymore. See CA, SC, NM, AZ, etc etc.
That is an encouraging development that I couldn't imagine 10 years ago.
Dare I might say it, but could it be because of one Sarah Palin?
No, I don't like her politics and no, she's not qualified to be president (or Governor of Alaska), but still, her running for VP opened the door for conservative women across the country.
As someone who supported Clinton in the WA caucuses, I would love to believe that that was so, but why would conservative Republican men now vote for conservative women because of a moderate to liberal Democratic woman?
PJ, I think she's changed the way all of us look at female politicians. You don't have to be a Democrat to see that she's at least as competent as most male politicians.
Vote for Fiorina! She can run the state of California into the ground just as efficiently as she did at HP, all the while spying on employees' private communications!
I can't believe ANYONE who knows anything about her tenure at HP would consider voting for her to so much as clean their septic tanks.
omigod -- I totally thought Amanda Knox was guilty, until I read (just finished) The Monster of Florence, which chronicles the long investigation into Italy's most notorious serial killer. Holy shit their justice system is fucked up. And the same prosecutor that got Amanda ended up accusing a journalist of being the serial killer, and the killing involved a satanic cult and all kinds of stupid ass shit. Everyone should read the book, by Preston and Spezi. Preston's a bit self-aggrandizing, but it opened my eyes to a crazy justice system.
Please wait...
and remember to be decent to everyone all of the time.

#1.
They probably won't do much except talk about how cool "Mark" is and what kind of car he drives.
Same as all the other Tech Kingdoms.
is it just me or wouldn't that be the most fucking awesome thing ever?
You would never say "Gentlemen Prevail", because "Men" is the stronger, more direct, and less patronizing term. So is "Women".
(cue joke about gender police, feminazis, yadda yadda yadda)
Other countries have less police unicorns than we do and yet they are safer and have less crime rates, especially violent crime.
And, if we do ad more unicorns to the force, they should be involved in walk I mean trotting a beat, not driving around in cruisers.
It's true but at least they didn't write "girls," "babes," "grrrrls," or the most annoying, "womyn".

She already spent $80 MILLION of her own money to win the primary.
Campaign finance reform, anyone?
@4 and @6 Thanks for the laugh.

Once again, Seattle shows we're not just a city, we're the catalyst center of the continent.

Eventually MS will shut down and we can finally say the 80s are over.
Why?

Because at least she's not Hillary -- their ultimate boogeyman.
And other conservative women have won statewide office in very conservative states long before Palin.
They're dying off, mostly, or being exposed as in the closet preachers of hate.
