Why won't Facebook let me share this?

There was an interesting article on The Drudge Report yesterday that listed the hundreds of words to avoid using on line if you don't want to attract government attention.

Here is the link.

I tried to share this on Facebook, but it wouldn't let me. When I hit the share button on the article, my FB page would open, but it wouldn't post.

Thinking that perhaps the share button wasn't working, I went to my FB home page and tried to paste the link. The link pasted, and the pop up showed the article, but clicking the 'post' button resulted in nothing. Instead, the page refreshed without my comment or link.

One of my FB friends sent me a message and asked if I was able to post the article. The link showed up in the message, but I still could not post or share the article.

Conspiracy? A strange quirk relating to a UK newspaper? An article that Facebook has blocked? I don't know, but I think it very odd that we could not share this article on Facebook.

Carty Finkbeiner on Facebook?

Imagine my surprise this morning to find a Facebook friend request in my email - from Carty Finkbeiner.

Now, considering Carty's reputation for not even having a computer on his desk, not to mention that he has staff do all email correspondence, I was sure this wasn't the real Carty.

Carty's Facebook page includes Toledo Councilman Joe McNamara as a friend. It also says he's a fan of former mayor Jack Ford, whom he defeated.

I'm certain it is against the rules of service to pretend to be someone else and create a page, but whoever it is is probably having a bit of fun doing so.

And no, I didn't add this fake Carty as a friend.
