Wael Ghonim Tweets Plea to 'Educated Egyptians'
By David Knowles - AOL NewsTime to come back home. That was the message Google manager and Facebook revolutionary Wael Ghonim had for the educated Egyptian diaspora following the breathtaking ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak. Taking to Twitter, another site that Ghonim used to help harness the masses in his homeland, Ghonim wrote the following: .bbpBox36122369219244030 {background:url(http://a1.twimg.com/profile_background_images/170023094/wae_clearl.jpg) #32cef9;padding:20px;} p.bbpTweet{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px 10px 12px;margin:0;min-height:48px;color:#000;font-size:18px ...
Wael Ghonim Credits Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg for Mubarak Ouster [VIDEO]
By David Knowles - AOL NewsIn the literal sense, it may well come to be known as the social media revolution. In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Google manager Wael Ghonim gave much of the credit for the Egyptian demonstrations and the eventual ouster of President Hosni Mubarak to Facebook. Ghonim, who used Facebook to organize the initial demonstrations, said the site's power to mobilize masses of people around a single idea is what made such dramatic change possible in his homeland. "First Tunisia, now Egypt, what's next?" Blitzer asked Ghonim. "Ask Facebook," Ghonim replied, adding, "I want to meet Mark ...

By Bethlehem Shoals and Tom Ziller - AOL NewsIn The Works today: Bill Walton returns to the airwaves and Wolf Blitzer comments on the Colin Cowherd-John Wall skirmish (sort of). But first, oh those crazy Utah Jazz! ... And the Jazz Played On (And On And On) The Utah Jazz had a marvelous little week, rattling off five straight wins during which they trailed by a combined 88 points, according to the calculations of the Salt Lake Tribune's excellent new beat writer Brian T. Smith. It's hard to believe all this began with the Jazz sitting at 2-3, losing by 18 in the second quarter at home to the L.A. Clippers. Five antacid-demanding games ...

There's Something About Sarah
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Nov. 17) -- Everyone is calling this Palin Week because Sarah Palin's talk show blitz has begun and her memoir, "Going Rogue," is hitting stores now. But last week also felt a lot like Palin Week. And at this rate, next week will, too. There's always another angle to the Sarah Palin story. The week began with a slew of polls that don't bode well for any White House ambitions Palin might have. Only 28 percent of people questioned by CNN said the ex-governor of Alaska is qualified to be president. In an ABC News/Washington Post poll, three out of every five deemed her unqualified. And her ...

Will Sarah Palin Run for Re-Election in Alaska?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWill she or won't she? Will Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin seek re-election in 2010, or does she have her eyes set on a bigger prize? According to Politico, several prospective candidates from both parties are betting that it's one term and out for Palin. If Palin were to try for a second term, the 2012 presidential election would pose something of an interesting hurdle for her, as a former Palin staffer points out, "If she runs for governor, though, she is going to have to answer the question: Are you going to get elected and then take off for Iowa?" Palin herself recently refused to commit to ...
Blagojevich Recites Poetry and Wolf Blitzer Dances
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUnfortunately, not at the same time.Here are a couple of video treats that seem to have slipped through the cracks here at The Political Machine. The first is Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, giving one of his Caligula-Meets-Fellini press conferences upon learning of his impeachment. Apparently, Blago thinks reciting poetry at press conferences is his "thing" now, kinda like how my co-workers make me perform "Baby Got Back" at every company party.Here's something you won't see anywhere else, a dissection of Blagojevich's Sunday-school lesson, courtesy of Lady of Light, my favorite ...
