On "'We're the best thing happening in America,' said one tech entrepreneur"
"Everyone feels confident again." Hey, a sighting of the elusive Confidence Fairy! History suggests he/she won't stick around for long, however. Expect mass hysteria within a year.

On Mitt Romney: No Nixon
So Dubya was a high-functioning idiot, and Rmoney is a high-functioning psychopath. Such lovely people millions of our compatriots want to be president. They get the government they deserve, but unfortunately, the rest of us get that government too.

On President Endorses States' Rights
Better late than never.
Gee, do you suppose if we could keep him in office another two or three terms, he might decide stomping on whistle-blowers, spying on American citizens, and letting Dubya and his cronies off scot-free weren't great ideas either?

On Where To Live When You Want To Die Young
Oklahoma and Tennessee, eh? Who'd have guessed relentless hostility to modern civilization might be associated with shorter lives?
Your move, Alabama/Arizona/Florida/Georgia/Mississippi/South Carolina/Texas.

On I Think I Will Not Go To The GOP Convention In Tampa This Summer
"Here's a scenario: One of those who would flout the law pulls out a plastic toy gun in a crowd. Then, 200 law-abiding citizens pull out their real guns and start firing in a legal act of self-defense. But they all have bad aim, and again, it's in a big crowd." Not only that, it's a big crowd of people who think Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, or Newt Gingrich should be President of the United States. I look forward to the live coverage. (Just kidding! Sort of...)

Damn! Now I'm going to have to do actual inhuman, monstrous things if I want to keep up my inhuman monster cred.

On Nothing Doing
Well yes, of course. Actually thinking something through and building it or even starting to build it before pimping it to investors is so...plebeian. Besides, as any number of investors will tell you (and tell you and tell you and tell you), they're all about the "team," not the "idea."
It's downright hilarious how many "awesome" teams come up with crappy ideas.

On What Is The Real-Real Thing?
"Little kids do stuff like this just blindly." Actually, some people have more sense and/or less insecurity than to do stuff like this even at age 6. Then again, some people still don't even at age 60. And yes, an awful lot of the latter are employed in marketing or politics.

On Bird Jewish
Impressive! One doesn't often encounter Borat-grade antisemitic paranoia in real life.
