McCain/ Palin - Genious or Risky?

John McCain has picked Alaska Senator Sarah Palin for his VP running mate. What does this mean for the GOP ticket? Message boards are already showing the polarization of opinions:

"This (decision) is an insult to women"

"Go Palin!! She has been an awesome governor and will be a great VP."

"Sarah Palin is not Hillary Clinton. "

"American politics hasn't seen integrity like Sarah Palin before..."

Will McCain's choice prove wise or will it backfire? I personally have mixed feelings. I can see how she may be a good choice based on her past signs of bold commitment to her beliefs, but her lack of long term experience will be pointed out by Obama's campaign. While this move probably won't capture all of the Hillary supporters, it is a strong move with the intention of creating buzz for McCain.

Facebook A Movie?

According to BBC News, Aaron Sorkin, writer of the first four seasons of West Wing and several movies, is working on writing a movie about Facebook. In the interview he was quoted saying, "I honestly don't know how it works" and goes on to say that the first step was to open a Facebook account of his own. Aaron (actually his research assistant) also started a Facebook group where Facebookers can go and leave feedback and comments for him to aid in the research efforts.

This is quite possibly the worst idea I have heard in a while. You better believe I joined his Facebook group and left my comment. He admitted it himself - he doesn't understand Facebook. If he did, Sorkin would understand that it cannot be made into a good movie. As far as I can tell, there is nothing about Facebook that would make a compelling storyline that could sustain a movie.
