			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It sometimes pays to read a website&#8217;s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots_exclusion_standard">robots.txt</a> file, as it may contain rather funny comments about particular bots.   Case in point, Twitter&#8217;s robots.txt:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/robots.txt">http://www.twitter.com/robots.txt</a></p>
<pre>#Google Search Engine Robot
User-agent: Googlebot
# Crawl-delay: 10 -- Googlebot ignores crawl-delay ftl
Allow: /*?*_escaped_fragment_
Disallow: /search
Disallow: /*?
Disallow: /*/with_friends</pre>
<pre>...</pre>
<pre>
<pre># Every bot that might possibly read and respect this file.</pre>
</pre>
<p>FTL may mean one of two things: &#8220;faster than light&#8221; or &#8220;for the lose.&#8221;  I am going to guess that since this likely has to do bandwidth usage, it is the latter.</p>
<p>Because here are at Kitsch-Posh we are all about TEH OPEN INTERWEBZ RDY 4 UR CRAWLING, here is our <a href="http://www.kitsch-posh.com/robots.txt" target="_blank">robots.txt file</a>:</p>
<pre>User-agent: *
Disallow:</pre>
<p>Ron Paul would be proud.</p>

<p>One of your editors flew out of SFO on Thursday and had a chance to visit the Yoga room.  How was the experience, you ask? Well, the pictures speak for themselves.  Please note that the lights for the <a href="http://www.chicoer.com/breakingnews/ci_19835090" target="_blank">$15,000-$20,000</a> room went on and off at random intervals:</p>

<p>P.S.:  No one bothered me as I was taking the pictures inside and outside of the room, even though I was next to the security checkpoints, looked young and somewhat middle-easternish, and only had a backpack on me.  AMERICA!</p>
<p>P.P.S.: The plane from SFO to LAX was over 20 minutes late thanks to <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.8b32ad461489ab05113fc900b5f26049.d91&amp;show_article=1" target="_blank">Obama Jam</a>.</p>
<p>P.P.P.S.: No Yogic Flying, sadly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My father told me that he believes the whole Hugo Chavez &#8220;cancer&#8221; thing is actually false and meant to bring him support for the upcoming elections. (Chavez is polling at about 50%, the opposition seems united and willing to present a single candidate, Chavez is currently ruling mostly by decree, and he recently said he doesn&#8217;t have a single cancerous cell in his body, among other things.).  Fidel Castro is &#8220;the ultimate mastermind&#8221; capable of fomenting this plan to save the billions Cuba gets from Venezuela in subsidies, cheap oil, direct &#8220;loans,&#8221; etc.  The only reason Chavez has lost weight is because of a liposuction.</p>
<p>When I asked my dad about the comments Chavez gave that he will probably begin to lose his hair as a result of the chemotherapy, my dad replied, &#8220;He&#8217;ll just shave it off.&#8221;</p>
<p>I am putting this out there so it will be time stamped.  If this is ever proven true, I am expecting my dad to get a column in the New York Times adjacent to Paul Krugman&#8217;s musings.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Thanksgiving Dinner conversation:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Me:  &#8221;So, do you still think Chavez&#8217;s cancer is fake?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Him: &#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Me: &#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Him: No.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Case closed.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CNN <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/12/14/chris.brown.twitter/index.html" target="_blank">writes</a> the obituary.  Let us remember the short but great life of Chris Brown&#8217;s Twitter, mechanicaldummy:</p>
<blockquote><p>Brown began using Twitter as a way to connect to his fans after he pleaded guilty and was sentenced for beating his then-girlfriend Rihanna.</p>
<p>Whether it was an attempt to garner favorable public relations in the wake of an image-shattering event or just a late adaptation to the microblogging craze, Brown had spent the months after the incident using his Twitter account to reach and connect with 172,366 followers.</p>
<p>He tweeted regularly thanking his fans for their continued support and sounding off after concerts.</p>
<p>It was unclear what specifically sparked Brown to delete his account, named &#8220;mechanicaldummy,&#8221; He had started the day with a normal &#8220;good morning&#8221; message to his fans.</p></blockquote>
<p>12/14/09.  NEVER FORGET.</p>
<p>Now they need to go back to more Tiger Woods coverage.</p>
