Perhaps he meant to text it and hit the wrong button?

I don't know how yFrog is integrated on different phones.

MayBee

Someone with yFrog and and iPhone can probably answer this better, but it looks like he could open his MMS as if he were sending a text, and then send it to his yFrog email instead of the intended receiver.

I don't know if he has an iPhone, but perhaps he does personal texting from something other than his government blackberry?

"Still on WeinerGate, with a twist"

Ouch!

Interesting article from Christianity Today (not my daily read): Public Enemy: Iran's Persecution Backfires: Regime's antagonism is increasing Christianity's appeal.

The government is concerned, observers say, because more and more Iranian Muslims are converting to Christianity. The house church movement is booming, with converts estimated in the hundreds of thousands. Evangelists are distributing large numbers of New Testaments, and satellite television continually beams Christian programs into the country.

"The government always used to deny that Iranians become Christians," said Elam's David Yeghnazar, but now the church has become too strong to ignore. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei declared the house church network "enemies of Iran" in an October speech, which analysts labeled a rare public acknowledgement of the movement.

Is this another good reason why not to nuke Iran?

Captain Hate

Iran's situation for the common people to rise up against the nutjobs would be a lot better if we didn't have a dithering jugeared Indonesian in the White House.

Carol.Herman

It's his tent pole. And, it's just like Gary Hart's invitation to the media "to be followed." Didn't end well.

Of course, Anthony Weiner "might be" a political nitwit. But then why was he used, and groomed, to be a democratic attack dog?

IF this man were hacked, we wouldn't be hearing the end of it!

Of course, you might have your sights set on "better evidence of a bigger dick."

From Powerline (Neocon): HOW CANADA DID IT.

What did Canada do, you ask? "Canada has left the U.S. in the dust when it comes to fiscal reform."

How did they do that, given that "while having socialized medicine hanging around its neck like an albatross?" Well, follow the link for some ideas. One explanation I can think of is to examine what Canada DIDN'T do:

1. Invade Afghanistan.

2. Invade Iraq.

3. Do whatever we're doing in or around Libya.

4. Maintain a military capable of doing those things.

I put a pic on your Twitter stream. It's from network TV, so you know it has to be clean, right?

Ace has a vid from YouTube showing Jane and Amy's tornado. I am on the iPad and can't bookmark it. The other thread has rocco, TC and Dave talking to her.

They just extended the tornado watch in eastern MA until 11 PM (it was previously until 8). Sturbridge was hit by another tornado, according to Boston TV. Hope Jane is OK.

I appreciate you posting the link JiB. I'm still following the BC story & general sketchiness of Obama's life narrative.

OK, someone placed a cool John Madden photo on my Yfrog account. It showed up in my Twitter feed, but was it broadcast? I don't know, yet. I now see a "Go, Bruins" Tweet as well.

Answer is yes.

How might one get someone's Yfrog address?

Firesheep? (If Wiener was using yfrog over an unsecured public network?)

Jane

Hi guys. I'm here for just a sec on a generator. No power in Sturbridge and lots of damage. Everyonr is safe. I don't have time to read but I'm sure there are good wished.

MayBee

Ralph- how did you get TM's yfrog address?

Jane

Oh and thanks to Rocco and T C for watching out for us. I think Rocco saved some lives.

MayBee

xoxoxoxoxo to you and Amy, Jane.

This birth issue is truly maddening

And even with careful handling

OT for Narciso on the Palin e-mails. Can you say "Hutzpa?)

As a result of Media and other requests the State of Alaska is going to release some 24,000 pages of e-mails concerning Palin's time as Alaska's Governor. Requesters are the usual suspects; The ADN, the Associated Press, MSNBC.com, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post and CNN. That feeding frenzy should start any day now.

But also requesting the e-mails is Anchorage activist and devoted Palin hater, Andree McLeod.

Due to cost, the State is requiring that each of those who requested the documents be required to pay "$725.97 in copying fees. They'll also have to pay hundreds of dollars more for the state to ship them what's expected to be about five boxes of copied emails, the boxes weighing about 55 pounds apiece."

McLeod cost Sarah Palin thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars in Legal expenses trying to protect herself from frivolous Ethic's Charges brought by McLeod.

Yet now poor, poor, McLeod, who requested the documents, is moaning that "she's not sure how she's going to pay for her copies of the records, and is calling for the state to make them available in Anchorage so she doesn't have to pay to have her copies of the emails shipped from Juneau."

So the Taxpayers of Alaska (me) should have to pay for them.

Sara, can I borrow your Blunderbuss?

MayBee

Oh, I see, TM gave it out.

But having that email address seems just as likely as having someone's password.

Stay safe Jane and others in the area...

MayBee

TM- do you have an iPhone? How does yFrog interface with the mms feature?

Jane

Amy's house is a total loss, and it will be months before they get back in. I had no damage. The entire town is a mess.

MayBee

That's horrible horrible horrible, Jane.

My goodness. I should have refreshed. I hope everybody is doing ok.

I see URLs on everything. So I think that's a red herring.

If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. Glad everyone's safe!

In the basement in MA. No twisters here AFAIK but a heck of a TStorm!

Wow, Jane. Glad you guys are ok.

This is how it happens:

According to the House regulations, any Member “must immediately report any unauthorized access or unusual system activities to the House Information Resources Security Office (202-226-6448). HIR will investigate any breaches of the Internet security system.” This rule would apply to Rep. Anthony Weiner’s claim of a hacker gaining access to his official facebook and twitter accounts

Rocco

He may have sealed his fate when he announced his twitter was hacked. He should have thought it out more thoroughly before committing himself with that excuse. Pretty dumb for a US Representative if you ask me!

daddy

So sorry Jane,

Please seriously do a link on YouTooCongress or here and please let us know how we can help Amy and the girls etc.

Am glad she's got such a good friend as you. Please use us.

I'm sorry about Amy's house, but glad all of you are okay.

Great find MarkO at 08:24.

Let's get that info spread around the Blogosphere.

Jane, that is terrible about Amy's house. So grateful you're all safe. I echo the others - let us know what we can do.

Bill O'Reilly sez Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from the OBamaCare decision, and also Kagan.

Dennis Miller immediately responds to O'Reilly that they should all recuse themselves except for Scalia:)

If sarah hit 84 at 8 pm she was a mile from me. She may have seen damage. We are at the neighbor's house - the only generator in Sturbridge.

Amy won't need anything but labor I suspect.

Oh, how terrible about Amy's house. Glad you are all safe and sound and hope there is no more terrible weather events headed your way.

Ditto to what cc said, Jane. The accounts I saw on the news looked brutal.

Jane,

Saw the twister hitting Springfield, coming up the river. Not a pretty sight. Glad to know you're fine and Amy and kids safe. Himes can be replaced lives can't. Whatever Amy may need turn to your friends here first.

Strawman Cometh

Checked in to check Jane's status, glad she's ok, Yankee's ain't used to that...s..tuff.

and to see if anybody had reported the bear facts. First one shot on a US runway, evah. 4 miles (or less?) from Hit's house. Daddy any thoughts

But the Mrs is down at the beach with her BFF, I got hired, and I gotta get a derelict outta the garage so I can do the brakes and the boots on her nibs so I'm heading back down.

So hot today the 13 year cicadas shut up for the first time in 4 weeks.

If this "hack" immediately posts a photo in your twit stream, why was the controversial one apparently directed at an individual? Does the hack also pull that off?

Strawman Cometh

Flipping around earlier, noticed that Crissy thinks that Weiner isn't all that.

Jane

I'm telling you, i think Rocco and JOM saved Amy and the kids lives. He posted here, i called her and she went to the basement with the kids, which saved them. So JOM is still as wonderful as ever. Then both TC and Rocco called to advise me of all the new warnings as spposedly 2 more hit.

I cannot thank you enough. I love you all.

Strawman:

Wow,Strawman...from that article:

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services spokeswoman Caroll Bannerman said the bear was killed with a single gunshot at about 7:30 a.m. off Burgess Road.

I go right by the airport on my morning -- but at about 6:30,and on the opposite side from Burgess. Missed it by *that* much!

Oh,and it's closer to 12 miles from our house.

Jane

So what's going on with Weiner? Has he cracked yet?

God bless Rocco!

you'll see that MSNBC is also one of the Professionals who are reporting that Rep Weiner is a Rwpublican.

Does your local news source up thataway even know that the MBM approved after action footage of a tornado is to immediately find and interview trailer park residents - especially those with fewer teeth than toes? Do y'all even have trailer parks?

I'm home, with electricity and a shower, having just worked out prior to the tornado. Amy, Msry and kids are across the street from their home in the only house with a generator. Tomorrow we do an assessment and I grt on the insurers ass, which i am very goid at.

If you are inclined say a prayer for Amy's fa ily whixh will be just fine given the players, but it never hurts.

Maddow was by far the least combative of his interviewers, and the approach seemed to have paid off. This time, instead of “I don’t know,” the Congressman told Maddow that it is possible that the photo was of him and had been “taken out of context.”

He noted that “I do all of my own tweeting” and that the possibility of someone else having access to his account “doesn’t seem likely,” though he has hired a private investigation team. Of his behavior after the fact, he said he “quickly deleted it and move on with my life,” not expecting it to be a story and, to this day, still refuses to acknowledge it as important. “I don’t believe this is a big national emergency that requires international attention,” he joked.

So, today, Anthony Weiner has added that Jon Stewart complimented him on having a "large package." BS. But if you've got a left leaning tent pole picture out there ... maybe, it's time Weiner made the best of it?
