Come to think of it... she must have seriously dropped that thing... I have a little habit of having my iPhone in my lap while I drive, and then getting out of the car and swearing loudly as it bounces on the concrete... and it's never shattered. - Dillon K. Hoops

How much did CNN's hologram cost? $300,000+
November 6 at 8:28 pm - Link
What a waste of money. It did not add to the story, actually it got in the way as the image did not look good. MSNBC had useful 3D infographics; better than the "hologram." - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio

The multi-touch map is awesome. The hologram was embarrassing. - Michael Markman
It wasn't a hologram. Can we get that straight? - Rod Bauer via twhirl
This will be the way of the future. This is just a taste of things to come in a virtual online studio. The human anchor will become redundant too - we'll all be holograms! - Chris Loft
True it wasn't a hologram. Anderson Cooper, et al couldn't see it in the studio. As an effect it was decent, but completely unnecessary. - Cat Laine via twhirl
CNN had a case of serious premature techjaculation on election night. It took up so much space at times that it drowned out the purpose of the night. - Rasmus Lauridsen
Wait, you mean Wolf Blitzer was REAL? NBC's graphs were useful whereas the "Help Me Obi Wan Kinobi" hologram stunt was just LAME! Reminds me of a local TV station we have that spends more time during severe weather playing with all the different radars than telling you about the dangerous storm! - Jeff Garlick

Sarah Palin might be Psycho
Sarah Palin might be Psycho

From March 9th, 2008 Bristol Palin (far right) appears pregnant in this picture but her mom (GOP VP hopeful) claimed the baby was her own. Why would anyone go this far? Perhaps because Mom is so religious and such an extremist that she is unwilling to accept that her own daughter had sex at such a young age, without protection, out of wedlock and was thus unable to justify having an abortion. - Andrew Baron via Bookmarklet

Bias. BS. Hide. - Mike L
From one publication: "According to comments from classmates and other members of the community, Bristol Palin was out of school during what would have been the last trimester of the governor's pregnany due to a bad case of mono. A case so severe, according to the Palin family, Bristol missed nearly 5 months of school." - http://www.postchronicle.com/n... - Andrew Baron
She does look pregnant - but that seems pretty effin' out there... - George Smith
I agree Mike. Low blow. - Mattb4rd
Worst. Vetting. Ever. - Pete Delucchi
I don't know. I feel like if they went to such great lengths to cover it up, they wouldn't have let their daughter be photographed in ANY way during her pregnancy. But it's a very odd story.... - Veronica
Very odd indeed. - Tsega Dinka
I just can't believe this is true. I don't like Palin's politics but ... this seems whackadoodle. - AJ Kohn
Very interesting! Will be interesting to see how this story develops. - Jeff P. Henderson
What petty little people you are. Instead of coming up with a real argument you use character assassination and unsubstantiated drivel written on the Daily Kos blog. - Chris Mayer
If you want left-leaning comments on the story, they are here: http://www.dailykos.com/story/... (I am not endorsing this theory) - Louis Gray
Not saying I think this is true or not, but you guys should realize that this is definitely not as "whacko" as one might think for families with certain beliefs. Even moreso for a family in the public eye. - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
people should be checking their skeletons in their closets before condeming *anyone* for what they have done in their personal life. Regardless of the fact that she is now in the public eye her beliefs - right or wrong - are her's. If you are going to find fault with the woman then do it based on her political career - as limited as it might be. - Steven Hodson
I would like to also state again that I understand this is a rumor and its an extremely far fetched one at that. But the story is so amazing due to several supposed facts or big 'ol coincidences. - Andrew Baron
Steven, this happened during her tenure as Governor of Alaska. - Ed Kohler via twhirl
So if true, will the child grow up not knowing his sister is actually his mom? - Rodfather
The real story is not the whacky rumor, but rather if how this baby is delivered is true, then she is a totally uncaring woman when it comes to having this child. She chose to fly when in a very late stage of pregnancy, which could have caused the premature delivery, she chose to go to the event after she was leaking amniotic fluid, she chose not to go to a Dr. after the event, but rather to get on another 8 hour flight with a stop, and then she drove to an out of the way hospital. Insane! - Brad Nickel
Oh, and now she's taking a job that will take all of her time away from her family and her new special needs baby. Hello? Family values? - Brad Nickel
Being as the baby has Down's Syndrome, and it's several orders of magnitude more likely in a 43 year old mother than a 16 year old, I'm thinking this is B.S., but hey, that's what people said about the National Enquirer stories about John Edwards last year. - Jason Carreira
Brad - "Since she has a chance to change the world it is ok to leave the family" Micheal Medvid. - Russellreno
ur pathetic... http://video.google.com/videop... Sara Palin is the best political decision in a century - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ
Steven - when she is trading on the child to gain votes, it's not a personal issue any longer. Not that I particularly think much of the rumor in the first place. - Alix Whitmire ƸӜƷ
Wow, just reading up on the water breaking and then flying thing. I mean, it's medical, it's personal stuff. I wouldn't want *my* medical stuff dragged into the open. Yet ... it does seem rather reckless. I'm hoping we just don't know the whole story - maybe she did it all under doctor's orders. Maybe she *needed* to get to a specific doctor. All that said, I remember my Kaiser classes - water breaks - you get to the hospital ASAP. *sigh* - AJ Kohn
@Steven - Her career is based on those beliefs. - Brad Nickel
Sarah Palin Conspiracy right up there with 911Truth? keep it up lefties. We won't need to worry about McCain.... you are going to scare the American public so badly with your rumors that they will be ready to have Dick Cheney for president. - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ
Why would people need to make up rumors about someone like Palin? She is as well known outside of Alaska as I am. (she might have me beat out on looks though) - jerry
I'd rather ask my wife on substance - she recognizes pregnancy much better by external look than me... - silpol
If this nonsense is the best you can do in the way of criticism of Palin, then it proves she's a great pick for VP. - Charles LePage
Compare the discussion on this on Daily Kos with the discussion here on Friendfeed: hit-and-run opinions on FF; a thorough discussion and analysis of the facts and evidence on DK. I wonder: is there something about the format of FF which encourages shallow banter rather than in-depth discussions? Regarding the pregnancy: in my opinion it's the business of the family, not my business. But before dismissing the story too hastily, recall what just happened with John Edwards. Any way you cut it, this is a strange story. The much more important issue, of course, is John McCain's poor judgment in selecting a VP who is unqualified to serve as president. - Sean McBride
Oh, no, there's plenty of good policy things to criticize her for, as well as her experience, or lack thereof. - Jason Carreira
Come on now, she *does* or *did* praise Obama's energy plan. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com... - AJ Kohn
AJ -- making a speech and taking a long flight after one's water breaks, combined with all the other peculiar facts, doesn't prove anything -- but it sure does sound strange as hell. Perhaps there is a reasonable explanation. I've never heard of a similar situation before. - Sean McBride
BTW - I feel very sorry for Bristol. She certainly never asked to have her name dragged around like this. I don't like Palin's politics but lets keep our humanity. - AJ Kohn
Noah -- just think how crazy it would be to claim that the 9/11 anthrax attacks were a false flag attack which came from within the American government. Wait a minute: that's what the crazy conspiracy theorists at the FBI are claiming. - Sean McBride
I hate conspiracy theories. That said, as far as I've seen, the evidence lines up in a way that allows this to be possibly true. And I'm one of those odd libertarian types. I'll let the media dig into this. - Ben Parr
@Sean, I think it proves she has poor judgment whatever the reason she used for endangering her child's life. This is the woman that could be a heartbeat away.... Poor judgment by McCain and by her. One big bundle of irresponsibility. - Brad Nickel
Ben, you articulated my thoughts exactly. - Sarah Austin
That's really grasping at straws. Very silly. - Dave Roth
Personally, I think this would have to rank of the highest order of conspiracy to be true. Not even taking into account the sheer craziness of someone trying to go through with such a cover-up. Lastly, I don't know about where everyone else lives, but I see plenty of high school girls here that certainly have a similar look...and they ARE NOT pregnant. Just pudgy in the middle high school girls who don't know how to dress well enough to compliment their figures. - JA Castillo
Brad -- if the current published stories hold up about the speech and long plane flight which followed the breaking of water, not only did she display poor judgment -- she is reckless to the point of insanity. Yet one more of dozens of reasons why I couldn't possibly vote for her and McCain. - Sean McBride
How the heck does this give any credible information to the issues surrounding the election? Give me a break! I'm sick of this "because she's a Republican we can't like her" stuff - whatever happened to looking at the issues she supports and doesn't support, her reasoning behind them, and then criticizing in true analytical fashion if she's wrong. These guys are politicians - they can't afford to change their opinion. We can. - Jesse Stay
My wife says that from what it looks like (photos, etc) author is right about who had delivered baby. Also she said *too many* factors which should make her visibly pregnant were not, and hence IF she were pregnant at the time any _average_ woman with 2-3 deliveries experience near her (she is governor) would notice. That said, I think she will get share of female voters who gone trough similar or supportive for "mom covering daughter" scenario. - silpol
@Jesse: This is soap opera stuff. And I don't like Palin because of her politics, and her use of power as governor. However, politicians do change their opinion. Both candidates have done that. 'Flip-flopping' isn't necessarily bad. I'm okay if they stand up and say, I got it wrong before, I've learned. Has 8 years of 'admit no fault' inured us to this learning concept? I hope not. - AJ Kohn
AJ, that's an excellent response - I'm tired of the soap opera stuff. As an independant I'm trying to learn the facts - this stuff just makes the side that's promoting it look bad. (I would say the same thing if it were the Republicans attacking Biden in a similar manner) - Jesse Stay via twhirl
In another article on a related topic, her stance on abortion was pressed and apparently she believes that even someone who is raped, must have the child. This is a very extreme view for most people who are pro-life. Usually they feel there are certain situations that would make it morally okay to have an abortion. http://www.dailykos.com/storyo... - Andrew Baron
@Jesse: Well, each party has these nasty elements unfortunately. I personally feel the right is more vicious, but then again, I lean left so I could be biased. And because I'm pro-choice (particularly for rape and incest) and anti-gun Palin doesn't mesh with me right off the bat. The use of her power for the dairy plant and in the firing of Monegan and severance for Kopp all worry me. These things, coupled with her inexperience and McCain's age make me far too nervous. - AJ Kohn
The Amazing thing is Rush Limbaugh predicted exactly this kind of attack the day Palin was announced. Is he smarter than he gets credit for, or is the Left that predictable? - Robert Hafer
AJ, Andrew, those were both great responses - now we're getting down to the raw positions and where we can have an opinion on the subject. AJ, personally, I'm with you - I put it in just the opposite way though. I'm pro-life, except in the case of rape or abuse or extreme circumstance. - Jesse Stay via twhirl
Robert - I understand what you're saying, but his "predictions" were the same type of thing I'm critiquing these guys on. Let's stick to the raw issues, and stop the attacks and rumors. - Jesse Stay via twhirl
Wow, here daughter does look pregnant in those photos. - Mike Reynolds
Lefties are so damn predictable. Big tent my ass. - David Risley
@Sean - you keep walking right into the brick wall that is the "experience / qualification" issue, seemingly impervious to the damage it will do the Democrats. If McCain is a fool for selecting a running mate light on qualifications and experience, what does it say about the Presidential candidate with inarguably LESS experience and arguably FEWER qualifications for the highest office in the land. - Forrest Cox
And if I'm a Democrat, I find myself in a bit of a quandry if I choose to pay close attention to stories such as these about the opposition's VP candidate while ignoring the equally outlandish-but-seem's-to-bear-some-truth-type character assassination stories about my own Presidential pick (Wright, Ayers, etc., etc.). Remember how far the "murder lists" and similar Clinton-related urban legends got the Republicans? There ain't no gold in them thar hills m'friend. Only pain, for everyone involved. - Forrest Cox
Better to win on the battlefield of ideas - that goes for both sides. - Forrest Cox
My favorite part of this thread is the right winger who said "HIDE" as if that will make this all go away. The republicans would have had million dollar graphics spinning up on Faux News about this if it were a Democrat and all the facts they'd need to justify the decision would be third hand at best. I'm not saying this stuff should matter, but it ALWAYS matters when it's Democrats that are the "evil-doers." Republicans always want to shift to talk of "issues" when they prove the moral majority is neither! - ScottBourne
I read this yesterday, as much as it sounds far fetched, look at the pics of her at 7mths and 8 mths. Look at the flight she took from Texas to Alaska while allegedly leaking embryonic fluid. If this story isn't true, then she's borderline negligent in the actions she took while pregnant. - Duncan Riley
@Jesse: I would likely make a 'pro-life' decision myself but still think folks should have the right to choose. It does make me a little nutty when a pro-life proponent is against contraception eduction and gay adoption. Seems a bit cake-and-eat-it-too to me. - AJ Kohn
@Forrest: McCain has seniority and length of service. Experience is subjective. As Senator Obama sits on more committees then McCain, they have similar absent voting records if you factor in campaigning, and Obama has been quite active in sponsoring bills. - AJ Kohn
AJ, I agree - the whole "Pro-Life/Pro-Choice" issue isn't exactly cut and dry. I hate the terms, myself because it's as if there are only 2 positions to choose from. - Jesse Stay via twhirl
@AJ - Philosophically speaking this may not be the case, but in practice the notion that "experience" is purely subjective is patently absurd. If interpretation isn't ultimately subject to right & wrong, why all the fuss? The only time you try to interpret experience in purely subjective fashion is when you dislike associated objective evidence that would otherwise color your decision. To then try to present such a judgment in an objective manner gives us ridiculous statements like your comparison above. - Forrest Cox
It also explains a great deal about the left's infatuation with Obama. - Forrest Cox
so far, who knows? post-labor day papers will be interesting to read - Gregory Lent
@Forrest: Sorry. But it's not philosophical. There are plenty of folks who have more time on the job who clearly don't have more experience. Let's be clear, I'm giving McCain the tenure and seniority. For time served, he wins. But I believe many of us have personally had experiences where we've accumulated a wealth of experience in a short time. Perhaps you have not been so lucky. - AJ Kohn
@Jesse: Yes, it's a sticky issue. Folks like me who support the right to choose are often painted as anti-life. I struggle with the issue and, as I've said, likely wouldn't choose it myself. - AJ Kohn
@Forrest: BTW - I'll even give you that McCain has more 'experience'. I simply believe Obama has enough experience to be President and that his platform is the best one for this country. - AJ Kohn
What a biased load of BULLSHIT! If it was Obama's daughter or Biden's daughter, would you even THINK of posting such a wacko load of CRAP? I'm guessing not! I don't know who I'm voting for yet but it sure as hell ISN'T a child of the VP nominees - leave the girl alone! - Jeff Garlick
The Daily Kos case is looking more and more solid -- see the latest updates. I'm waiting now for the Palin camp to respond with evidence to shoot down the story -- this should be a very easy matter to clear up. A failure to respond will be interpreted by most people as confirmation of the truth of DK's charges. - Sean McBride
The Daily Kos story is probably true -- if it is not true, it should be easy for Sarah Palin to refute. - Sean McBride
Can I "hide" individual entries in beta.FriendFeed? - Jesse Stay
