Old people Facebook disasters
"[E]vents... point to a dubious trend. For years, college students have been opting out of future employment via boobie-flashing, obscene status updates and the pictorial remembrances of keg stands past on their social-networking pages....
"But now, the voices of reason, the beacons in the online wilderness, the adults who once clucked their tongues over the follies of youth, are lining up to humiliate themselves on Facebook."
On the one hand, it is nightmarish to see what Salon.com--itself part of one of the internet's oldest and earliest online communities and services!--names as "internet-old" or "old, for Facebook" (if you're over 30, shield your eyes). On the other hand, the opening story--about a young professional in the film industry accidentally forwarding a scat video to every contact she has--made me LOL, literally. "[E]vents... point to a dubious trend. For years, college students have been opting out of future employment via boobie-flashing,... more -

Rip tide! Is the Obama campaign shooting out to sea like a paper boat?
It's heavy weather for Obama fans, as momentum has suddenly shifted to John McCain -- that hoary, barnacle-encrusted tub that many Democrats like me had thought was full of holes and swirling to its doom in the inky depths of Republican incoherence and fratricide. Gee whilikers, the McCain vampire just won't die! Hit him with a hammer, and he explodes like a jellyfish into a hundred hungry pieces...
... Pow! Wham! The Republicans unleashed a doozy -- one of the most stunning surprises that I have ever witnessed in my adult life. By lunchtime, Obama's triumph of the night before had been wiped right off the national radar screen. In a bold move I would never have thought him capable of, McCain introduced Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his pick for vice president. Rip tide! Is the Obama campaign shooting out to sea like a paper boat? ... more -
