U.S.: JOE WILSON DEMOCRATIC RAGE AAHHHH *CHEST BEATING*

  • I do think that, as I said last night, we have to get to the point where we can have a conversation about big important issues that matter to the American people without vitriol, without name-calling, without the assumption of the worst of other people’s motives.
  • President Barack Obama • Regarding the “You Lie!” comment by Joe Wilson, which may have been the “whine heard ’round the world” based on the response he got. Obama’s response is completely reasonable and should be listened to on both sides. The Democratic Party is using the outrage of the statement against Wilson hardcore, as an excuse to raise funds to campaign against him and smear his image. Bros, set the example. Don’t stoop down to Joe Wilson’s level. It’s missing the point of all the stuff Obama said. • source

Tech: Question: Will Google Mirror be compatible with Google Docs?

  • We’ve been looking at very unusual materials for the mirrors both for the reflective surface as well as the substrate that the mirror is mounted on.
  • Google green energy czar Bill Weihl • On Google’s plan to bring low-cost solar power to the world. Google’s working on solar energy very hardcore right now – and has some great ideas, such as gas turbines that run on solar energy instead of natural gas. Personally, we’re just wondering why ShortFormBlog doesn’t have its own green energy czar. • source
