"During an interview with the paper she stumbled badly, fuelling comparisons to Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, whose bid for the vice-presidency was blighted by a series of disastrous interview with Katie Couric of CBS News. Perhaps most damaging of all was her repeated use of the phrase "you know", which she uttered 142 times and was left in the transcript when it appeared in print. " - Anthony K.

"It was the vision of these astute men that enabled them in the school year 1910 - 11, more specifically the night of January 5, 1911, on the campus of Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana, to sow the seed of a fraternal tree whose fruit is available to, and now enjoyed by, college men everywhere, regardless of their color, religion or national origin. It is a fact of which KAPPA ALPHA PSI is justly proud that the Constitution has never contained any clause which either excluded or suggested the exclusion of a man from membership merely because of his color, creed, or national origin. The Constitution of KAPPA ALPHA PSI is predicated upon, and dedicated to, the principles of achievement through a truly democratic Fraternity." - Anthony K. Valley © via Bookmarklet

Darn AKA's had me chasing them all over the campus @ Howard Univ. I will never forgive them. - Amani

A number of high-profile Twitter accounts were compromised this morning, and fake/spam updates were sent on their behalf. We have identified the cause and blocked it. We are working to restore compromised accounts. - Anthony K. Valley © via Bookmarklet

This would be a good day for folks to migrate to FriendFeed in my opinion. - Anthony K. Valley ©

Makes me wonder if there is a bigger hole... - Jared Smith

Jared: You are correct apparently Twitter's support tools where compromised and 33 accounts were hacked from that breach. http://blog.twitter.com/2009/0... - Anthony K. Valley ©

"Etsy seller YOUgNeek is selling custom-made Star Wars clocks for $90 a pop. I've got the feeling it's a trap, but I can't prove it. Just to be safe, I paid for mine with marked Monopoly money. " - Anthony K. Valley © via Bookmarklet

Very sad but I'm going to be an ass and squint my eyes and say 'seizure and fell in the tub'? Yeah, it's probably insensitive but something about the Scientology brethren makes me suspicious. - AJ Kohn

Wow... tragic... but I have the same nagging suspicion as AJ. - FFundercats' Lin-ZAY

No name on the marquee was more pleasing to theater owners in 2008 than Will Smith, according to a survey of movie exhibitors.

"A 50% increase in gasoline and diesel fuel taxes is being urged by the commission to finance highway construction and repair until the government devises another way for motorists to pay for using public roads." - Anthony K. Valley © via Bookmarklet

In my opinion, additional taxes should be the last option considered to generate funding. It makes me wonder how inefficiency exists in the highway department. And if a tax increase is the only viable solution, will the increase only last long enough to manage the shortfall plus a reseasonalbe surplus. Or will it eventually get consumed with existing financial inefficiencies in the highway system bringing us back to this point later? - Anthony K. Valley ©

I like a use tax based on vehicle weight. There's no way my Kia tears up roads like a Tahoe. And it probably takes a hundred of us to do the damage of 1 Tractor/Trailer. - Brian Norwood
