So I hear another oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico blew up. The report I saw did not mention who it belonged to, though.

To be fair, America has been building Ground Zeroes next to mosques in the Muslim world for a decade now...

That Fox News comments page that Dracko posted really made me depressed. I want it all to be fiction, to be one massive troll, but I know it's not. I've been around those people long enough to know it's not.

When are the "lamestream" media (Copyright Sarah Palin) going to report in-depth about these sorts of ties?

someone should tell bill that "regular folk" and "my audience" aren't synonymous

EDIT: Oh wow, he actually revealed his true colours and showed how little respect he has for the supposed working class he's committed to and still they'll eat every meaningless platitude he spouts.

Whose bright idea was democracy again?

oh ya white people's

Bill O'Reilly is Roger Ailes' Bert Muppet.

Found this an amusing read on geek entitlement and neo-liberal orthodoxy.

Laurie Penny wrote:
The narrative whereby the nerdy loner makes a sack of cash and gets all the hot pussy he can handle is becoming a fundamental part of free-market folklore. It crops up in films from Transformers to Scott Pilgrim; it's the story of Bill Gates, of Steve Jobs, and now of Mark Zuckerberg. It's a story about power, and about how alienation and obsessive persistence are rewarded with social, sexual and financial power.

The protagonist is invariably white and rich and always male - Hollywood cannot countenance female nerds, other than as minor characters who transform into pliant sexbots as soon as they remove their glasses - but these privileges are as naught compared to the injustice life has served him by making him shy, spotty and interested in Star Trek. He has been wronged, and he has every right to use his l33t skills to bend the engine of humanity to his purpose.

This logic is painful to me, as an out-and-proud nerd. For a person with a comics collection, an in-depth knowledge of the niceties of online fanfiction and a tendency to social awkwardness, it is distressing to see geekdom being annexed by the mythology of neoliberal self-actualisation.

Check out those comments, they're a riot.

"Socialism" construed as a nasty word is still pretty damn funny after so many years, at least looking in on the outside.

"Secular" I don't seem to hear that often. Doesn't surprise me that it's commonly thrown around as an insult, though.

Makes me think more people would be better off reading some Orwell:

Quote:
It would seem that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox hunting, bullfighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

And in something more or less comical depending on where you stand when it comes to eugenics...

It's like Aktion T4 for the neo-liberal age.

Gotta love the gall.
