Some on Facebook displeased with being listed as Romney fans

WASHINGTON -- Visit Mitt Romney’s page on Facebook and you’ll see 11.6 million “likes.” Lee Wolf, a self-described liberal who likes nothing about Romney’s politics, was stunned to hear from friends on the online social network that his name had popped up as an apparent supporter of the Republican presidential candidate.

“I don’t believe in anything he says. He’s not somebody I’d be voting for,” said Wolf, who owns the Lobster Shanty, a restaurant in downtown Salem. “I’m still wondering how it happened.”

Candid shot of Willard conjuring up a new set of lies and flip-flops...Mitt, Mitt...your hair's on fire, smell that plastic burning?

Facebook is waaaay overrated.  This article says that 60% of Americans are connected.  Well, I'm connected simply because I use it every now and then and therefore have an account.  But, I hardly consider myself a user.  I suspect alot are like me.  Also, it seems like once you go to a Facebook "Page" (or whatever you call it), it becomes "liked" by you. But of course that is simply not the case.  Facebook software has big problems.  I consider myself to be computer savy (I've been using computers for maybe about 35 years now), and Facebook software is so unintuitive that I just give up and let it do what it does.  I don't care.  In the end, if I don't like it I'll just purge it from my compter.   If that doesn't work, I'll throw the da...n computer in the trash and buy a new one.
