"I think this misses the point. This cover is part of the Justin Pieber redemption PR campaign. It's not wiitten for Belieberss. It's for people who hae written him off. Justin's people (and maybe Justin himself) want the artical to slam him mercilessly so that he can promise to do better. The magazine is on the stands at the same time as the Comedy Central raost. The whole point is for Justin to allow people to accuse him of all the worst things his detractors believe as a way of expiation. It's silly fo take offense. This is exactly the kind of article The lad wanted to see." - Michael Markman

"Of course, Giuliani isn't worth a full-court Internet shaming. He's interesting because of the challenge he poses to other GOP candidates. They will be asked to comment. Scott Walker, for example, is not willing to commit to whether or not Obama loves his country. http://www.politicususa.com/20..." - Michael Markman

"That's not from the Washington Post. That's from the Washington Times, a right-wing propaganda organ that makes FoxNews look responsible" - Michael Markman

"The Daily Currant is a satire site. They don't need a disclaimer. They are a competitor of The Onion and Borowitz." - Michael Markman

"Glad you are frank enough to identify yourself as a political enemy of the Obamas. We can discount your dismissal of them accordingly." - Michael Markman

"It's unclear to me what the "Hide" function actually does.It might well be a primitive version of what Dave is talking about. But it's a pretty blunt instrument, isn't it? You can hide "posts like this" But what does that mean? With advertising, you get some choices to tell them why you don't like about the advertisement, but with posts from friends what is it about the post you don't like? No way that I've found to signal that. You can hide posts from specific individuals and you can hide links to specific websites, but as far as I know, you don't get the functionality that Dave is asking for." - Michael Markman
