    1. Unless I decide to ’sort by Newest First’ (see above), in which case you are actually last, my friend. Sorry.

      However: the good news is that if I ’sort by Oldest first’ (see above), then that makes you the most aged i.e. the oldest, here, my friend. Sorry, again.

    Not a fan of todays video. Nothing unique about it. Just another boring video and maybe informative video.

    Does anyone besides me think that today’s video was a Linux Skype call? Anyways that’s what my Skype window looks like and with good video it could be! (I don’t have ‘good’ video.)

    I’m surprised news like this doesn’t make a bigger splash. This is ridiculous; these are votes we are talking about and no one seems to care that they are not being tabulated accurately! In this day and age of high tech where we can stream breaking news to the world from a handset and Photoshop GWB to look like Alfred E. Newman, we still can’t count the true number of REPS, DEMS, and OTHER on any given day. On top of that the company entrusted with doing this can threaten legal action when their accuracy is questioned?? Would be nice to see who owns shares in that company and who granted them the contracts. Somehow I don’t think the results would be too surprising.

      You’re supposed to comment on the audio and video quality, not the so-called “content.”

      (Because if you pay attention to this story, it will scare the bejeezus out of you.)

      Not the best use of streaming video, true, but is there a more important story?

        The fact is only 25% of Americans votes anyway, cause they’re too busy partying like me. I learned that at Harvard. Shots for everyone…

        Ohhhh sorry! I guess I missed the point completely. And according to Paris’ little factoid below; why bother counting since most people stayed home; right? OK, pass a couple of those shots up here.

        Real patriots can drink AND vote. In fact, it really helps take the edge off pulling the lever for the lesser of two morons.

      You didn’t mention the remarkable technology capable of manipulating sophisticated terrestrial robotic rovers on the surface of Mars!

        One of my boys received the movie Transformers as a gift recently and the military types in the movie reveal that there is in fact life on Mars which the gov’t hushed up. Seems like those Rovers were just the Transformers kid’s out playing with their toys.

        Hey, if it’s in a movie, on the Internet, or posted by Paris then it must be true.
