I'm trying, not very hard and not very successfully, to figure out what prompted the Rosie/Donald feud.

You mean beyond her mocking the idea of Trump being a "moral authority" re: the whole giving Miss USA Tara Conner a second chance, and Trump firing back that Rosie's ugly and disgusting and rude?

'Cause if they have a history of bitchcakes before that, I got nothing.

Cool.

Take the iPod features, for example. As on any iPod, scrolling through lists of songs and albums is a blast — but there’s no scroll wheel. Instead, you flick your finger on the glass to send the list scrolling freely, according to the speed of your flick. The scrolling spins slowly to a stop, as though by its own inertia. The effect is both spectacular and practical, because as the scrolling slows, you can see where you are before flicking again if necessary.

The real magic, however, awaits when you browse the Web. You get to see the entire Web page on the iPhone’s screen, although with tiny type. To enlarge it, you can double-tap any spot; then you drag your finger to scroll in any direction.

Alternatively, you can use a brand-new feature that Apple calls multitouch: you slide your thumb and forefinger together (like pinching) or apart on the glass. As you do so, the Web page before you grows or shrinks in real time, as though it’s printed on a sheet of latex. It works with photos, too, and it’s wicked cool.

Trump said he was a moral authority?

Kat & lori! THis is on right now, and I thought of y'all (scroll down to the 2nd hour). [link] It mentioned the 3d sonogram thing too!

cool!

Slut?

Score!!

hey DJ! thanks! That's a special we're trying to get taped for us on this sunday!

WRT to Rosie/Donald, do people actually care?

Trump said something to the effect that people deserve second chances. This sent Rosie into a fury for some reason that I'm at a loss to comprehend. Trump, being Trump, picked up that flung shit and commenced to throwing it right back, and Baba Wawa may have gotten involved on one of both sides when Trump announced that she supported him in email.

Miss USA Agrees to Rehab to Preserve Reign: [link]

He characterized her choices as “very, very bad.” But in the end Donald J. Trump magnanimously announced today that he would give a second chance to Miss USA, Tara Conner, the beauty pageant winner who has been the subject of numerous published reports of alcohol and drug use and wild partying.

...

Ms. Conner and Mr. Trump refused to answer any questions from reporters about reports alleging drug use or drug testing. Mr. Trump said that he went into a meeting with Ms. Conner this morning expecting to terminate her reign as Miss USA. But he said the meeting showed him someone with “a good heart” who had “left a small town in Kentucky,” only to be caught up in a “whirlwind” in New York.

“It’s a story that has happened many times before, to many women and to many men that came to the Big Apple,” Mr. Trump said.

The president of the Miss Universe Organization, Paula M. Shugart, responding to recent reports about Ms. Conner’s behavior, said in a statement last week that the organization and Mr. Trump were evaluating her “behavior and personal issues” to see what they could do to work with her.

Mr. Trump noted today that in 2002, he deposed Oxana Federova as Miss Universe and replaced her with a runner-up after Ms. Federova did what he called a “terrible” job.

“In the case of Tara, she made some very, very bad choices, some foolish choices,” said Mr. Trump.

But he said that Ms. Conner, who was crowned Miss USA in April, had admitted to her mistakes. He said that many of the reports circulating about her public behavior were false, although he did not say which ones.

“I’ve always been a believer in second chances,” Mr. Trump told reporters, adding that he thought Ms. Conner could serve as an example for young people.

“She has agreed to go into rehab; she knows that if she makes even the slightest mistake from here on, she will be immediately replaced,” he said.

I think O'Donnell's problem was that Trump basically set himself up as a moral authority, or she believed he did, when his own personal life doesn't really bear any kind of scrutiny.

And then the name-calling started.
