    Are you talking about Bebbe or Barry?

    Iran is on the verge of getting the bomb, putting Israel up against the wall and Obama won’t talk to the Israeli prime minister because Netanyahu is an alpha male? Give me a break. Meanwhile, Obama has time to meet with great minds like ‘The Pimp with a Limp’.

    The world has truly gone insane.

    yes that must be it. the leader of the free world is clearly intimidated by the leader of a country the size of Rhode Island. maybe Obama is afraid Netanyahu will beat him up with his big stick. that's why he's avoiding him.

    These are serious times and the is a serious crisis. Why wouldn't Obama meet with the Prime Minister? He's got time for Letterman.

    Do tell more (you or Brummie).

    Though NC Soccer United is right - failure to time travel is still failure. Since we apparently voted for him since he is Jesus Christ with a speech impediment, we need to hold him up to a higher, nay, impossible standard.

    Am I the only one who'd rather that the President be on David Letterman, rather than being at Benjamin Netanyahu's beck and call?

    Crew politics wouldn't interest anyone here. Let's just say I find his tenor a little beneath the couth and intellect of a soccer blog.

    To be honest, I'd be happy if he could field a few questions from an adoring press during times of crisis, but apparently that is too big a risk so it is up to Dave to ask the "tough questions".

    BARF.

    No, but you just did. (I just love that we have the power to summon people with our posts.)

    I know. It is truly a wonderful new feature. Though I fully expect that it will be used in retaliation to summon me to some truly odious discussion in the USMNT forums.

    MAD only works when both parties are reasonably sane. By the way, Iran's rulers think that Israel is ********ing with their weather.

    It's been my experience that sites devoted to a certain subject attract people who are complete, utter idiots about that subject. I mean, it's impossible to talk about the real world merits of iOS vs Android on a tech site.

    What are the merits of each, btw? I'm up for my two-year upgrade soon.

    The new iPhone sounds awesome, provided you don't mind that the connector is different from all previous iPhone & iPod connectors. So if you're upgrading your iPhone you either need to buy all new stuff or a $29 adaptor for each device you already have. Good times.

    Apparently they couldn't just switch to the ubiquitous little USB connector because that would allow people to connect things that weren't approved by Apple. *

    And that right there is why I went with Android. (And I have to say I freaking love my phone. If I had an iPhone, I wouldn't have been able to install the Shit Obama Says app.)



    *Assuming this is actually true. My source is Farhad Manjoo so I can't swear to its veracity.

    I'll just say that don't listen to the people at your local Verizon/AT&T/Sprint stores - they've been trained to really, really, really push Android devices and actually lie about iPhone, since the carrier subsidy on iPhones is much higher. It's cliché, but neither platform is for everyone, but I prefer Apple's ecosystem, closed garden and all. I say borrow someone's device and spend an hour with it.

    I've got an iPhone. The wife and stepson have Android. I prefer mine. They prefer theirs.

    Most of the people who say that one R00LZ and the other DR00LZ are dopes.

    "Veracity" and "Farhad Manjoo" in the same sentence. There's something you don't see every day on the internet.

    LOL! Reminds me of this joke.

    A panel of international economists was asked the following question: "What is your opinion about the lack of nourishment in the rest of the world?"

    The Arab panelist said: I don't understand what you mean by "opinion".
    The European panelist said: I don't understand what you mean by "lack".
    The African panelist said: I don't understand what you mean by "nourishment".
    The American panelist said: I don't understand what you mean by "the rest of the world".
