DC808: Lingle Ad Uses Palin Event Photo :

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee doesn’t want voters to forget former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle’s connection to former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin — and a pro-Lingle ad is helping.

“You can’t make this up,” the DSCC’s Matt Canter wrote in an email. “The Linda…

This actually happened. By the time I realized the gaffe, the guy was pretty pissed off, so I kept going with my speculation about a liquidity event without milk, which annoyed him even more.

“There’s no denying that Pinterest is fun, looks great, and a lot of people love playing with it. That is also true of kittens but no one’s rushing to include them in their 2012 marketing plans.”

Urban Geek Pau Hana

We’re three Code for America fellows – Sheba, Mick, and Diana – and we’re partnering with the City of Honolulu to take on challenging problems using technology, as well as to increase civic engagement on the island. The 3 of us are very interested in how cities and citizens can work better together, as well as in code, design, and user experience. We’ll be working with Honolulu to create applications and other solutions to help solve issues for citizens.

We’re here in Honolulu for 5 weeks, and we’d love to meet with and talk to as many people as we can – so we can better understand both the needs of the residents, as well as what’s already being worked on. After our 5 week stay we’ll be returning to San Francisco, where Code for America is based, to spend the rest of the year working on implementing the ideas that come from our experiences in Honolulu.

We’d love to see you at a casual pau hana. Come mingle with Code for America and many other new friends, and enjoy discounted drink prices this Thursday at Manifest!

Thursday, Feb 9
5-8pm

"I hate the franchise. I think it is bad for America and little girls. You basically got this stalker..."

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:14:54 -0600

“I hate the franchise. I think it is bad for America and little girls. You basically got this stalker vampire who’s basically abusing this low self-esteem child, and that is hailed as a great image of love and respect. Because I have read the books and suffered through them, I wanted to prevent others from falling into that same fate. So on opening weekend, I go to the theater, I sit in the back to not disturb people, and I live hate-tweet the film. And that just means I tweet in real-time with hate. I absolutely disdain this franchise. So I’m describing the storyline through my eyes and what the story really means, and it’s proved very popular. And most importantly, I’ve prevented people from spending their hard-earned money.”
