American Politics – The Concise Primer

A unionized public employee, a member of the tea party, and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table is a plate with a dozen cookies. The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, turns to the Tea Partier and says ‘look out for that union guy, he wants a piece of your cookie!’

That’s as succinct as it gets. Maybe they can work in batter as a metaphor for taxation.

I don’t want to know who applies the oil

Not written by Kishi? So it’s actually slightly less stupid and infinitely funnier, tsk tsk.

I thought it was hilarious when they did the nonsensical calculation for Bruce Wayne’s nett worth, but no, Forbes’ not stopping there. When you’re dragging out the SRD for your calcs you know you’ve crossed the Geek Event Horizon.

Maybe the comic will evolve into BC down the road, eh?

Not content to take on the NuAtheists and skeptics (I can’t see how this surprises anyone, given his ravings in God’s Debris), now Scott Adams is thinking of riling up 50% of the human population. Well done, have a Citizen Kane slow clap!

But never fear! Here comes the apology…well sort of. What’s hilarious is that although he’s been writing about IT hijinks forever, the guy has no idea that “TROLOLOL JUZ A JOKE” is probably the first indication someone’s completely lost an argument on the Internet. The only thing lamer would be a “HATERS GONNA HATE” gif. I’m not sure what Flame Warrior category that falls into, but passive-aggressiveness has to be one of the traits.

Thunderbird 3.0

Looks great, performs better. Best feature: super-powered search. Next best feature: global inbox.

Lightning doesn’t yet work on it though, so I can’t move my main work machine to it. At least Enigmail’s OK. Can’t wait…

Update: broke down and installed TBird 3.0 with the Lightning nightlies. Working OK so far.
