Thanks Daffynition. Coming soon, a socialist networking site.
Beijing approached a fund that buys stock from former Facebook employees to see if it could assemble a stake... Citibank is rumored to be trying to acquire as much as $1.2 billion of stock for two sovereign wealth funds, one from the Middle East and the other Chinese... a third source... confirms that Citi is representing China.

I'm happy Citi is handling this...after all their 300B good-old-boy bailout is doing some good.

The idiots include the department of defense, the Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and Air Force. They have been instructed by our corrupt government to use Facebook to communicate with their troops and civilians.

People who use facebook laugh and say, I’m not doing anything wrong I don’t care if facebook steals my privacy— well, if the chinese communists can own facebook then suddenly not being a communist can be a huge problem for you. They’ll know exactly how to get to you.
