Basic misunderstanding of G+

If people are *following* you, they are not in your circles, you are in one of theirs. They aren' t friends either.

Spent too much time on facebook? :P

"Identity-farming network"

"identity-farming network"

This throw-away comment kind of encapsulates my feeling towards Google+. I just want to use Google for search and Facebook for keeping in touch in folks. As these companies rise and rise in their ambitions so too grows the effective cost of using their services, and like everyone else I am being slowly inched towards the line where I want off the ride

  Please patent process for inventing news (so that can be shut down)
  
  Sorry, don't know where you got that idea, it's wrong. Don't suppose you'll reconsider your sources of (mis)information, will you? Factoids: 25% (shrub) vs. 24% (tricky) vs. 22% (buck-stop) vs. 38% (guy with the hot seat).
  
  Unless you mean first-term approval rating? Yep, definitely having problems there, what with inheriting two wars and a financial crisis. Maybe he should _start_ some new wars? That got GWB lots of points. Not being able to finish wars does seem to catch up with you eventually though....

    A factoid is actually something that's not quite a fact, like a humanoid is not quite a human.

Denail has never changed reality

I doubt you'll need to worry abot Obama getting a second term. 20 years from now Bama will still be blaming GWB for Bama's failures. Apparently the U.S. just isn't ready for "Dope and Chains"? Who knew?

  There's no need to blame GWB for anyone else's failures as the list of his own is so long and all-inclusive that it's a full time job just blaming him for them.
