  2. @kombiz @mbrownerhamlin where are all of their recorded abstentions because they had a financial conflict of interest?
  3. @kombiz
  4. @kombiz @mbrownerhamlin if you can show me evidence that no policy they have voted for ever benefited them directly, I'll buy that.
  5. @kombiz @mbrownerhamlin the balance of millionaires in Congress is pretty even ow.ly/1N27QV
  6. @kombiz @mbrownerhamlin and yet how many of your party have made great wealth while serving? Most of them.
  7. @kombiz @mbrownerhamlin and other politicians don't act from a place of self-interest. Keep telling yourself that.
  8. @RBPundit wouldn't you pretend that if you could?
  9. @mbrownerhamlin @kombiz politics is a hypocritical sport. Get used to it.
  10. @mbrownerhamlin @kombiz like the hypocrisy of defending extravagent wealth in Kerry, but attacking it in Romney?
  11. @AdamThierer funny that @eff also notes readily available jailbreaking, yet still says you're not free to tinker.
  12. @AdamThierer funny that @eff demands openness of Apple, yet won't even allow comments on their post. eff.org/r.2abV
  13. @AdamThierer I would have switched from Apple to Droid, by didn't realize I was free to go.
  14. @abbyalger that's kind of the point. Why is one hard work and the other luck? Makes no sense.
  15. Why is success in sports & entertainment due to talent, but success in business/finance gets attributed to luck?
  16. Up now at KFQ: Ten Songs Featuring Outdated Technology Lyrics ow.ly/bfGO8
  17. Compare this article ow.ly/1MZBTa to this one ow.ly/1MZBTb and tell me what the internal polls are saying.
  18. Tonight is Manhattanhenge. I'd actually like to see this if it didn't mean having to go to New York. ow.ly/bfkpg
  19. Up now @LifeInGreenLand: They Said It - Humans Are Like Slowly Boiling Brainless Frogs ow.ly/bfjb3
  20. RT @stackiii: Green #Jobs? @thinkprogress Cites Bogus Job Numbers to Attack @MittRomney bit.ly/LF1sx2
