Don't get your hopes up...

PLAN TO STRENGTHEN THE ECONOMY

“I believe that America’s free market has been the engine of America’s great progress. It’s created a prosperity that is the envy of the world. It’s led to a standard of living unmatched in history. And it has provided great rewards to the innovators and risk-takers who have made America a beacon for science, and technology, and discovery…We are all in this together. From CEOs to shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each other’s success because the more Americans prosper, the more America prospers.”

Barack Obama, New York, NY, September 17, 2007

Be interesting to see if he changes this - I’m not sure that conflating CEO/financier and shareholder/worker aspirations is really going to work over the next few months.

I Go Chop Your Dollar Trying to follow O’Reilly’s take on the US election and ended up on some nutty right wing forum where they *really* didn’t like this song :)

It’s a song about 419 scams - oyinbo is me.

I then started a topic on /b/, peeps asked for pics or gtfo and I obliged, then it started to get big

Earlier it was just some prank to me, I really wanted to get something incriminating which I was sure there would be, just like all of you anon out there that you think there was some missed opportunity of glory, well there WAS NOTHING, I read everything, every little blackberry confirmation… all the pictures, and there was nothing, and it finally set in, THIS internet was serious business, yes I was behind a proxy, only one, if this shit ever got to the FBI I was fucked, I panicked, i still wanted the stuff out there but I didn’t know how to rapidshit all that stuff, so I posted the pass on /b/, and then promptly deleted everything, and unplugged my internet and just sat there in a comatose state

Then the white knight fucker came along, and did it in for everyone, I trusted /b/ with that email password, I had gotten done what I could do well, then passed the torch , all to be let down by the douchebaggery, good job /b/, this is why we cant have nice things.

“So, you’re sitting around the house with your buddies, playing World of Warcraft.  One of you wonders: “How can we get paid for doing this?”  Another says: “I know; let’s pretend we’re fighting terrorism, and then get a government grant.”

Why we can’t stop making hyper acute animated graphics (aka Why We Drink).

Don’t agree about the virgins, but quite like the puppy/goldfish/hamster/death nexus.  It’s odd though that it sounds (surely it’s not just me) like it’s being narrated by Werner Herzog?
