  • “an understanding that nerds — Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs et al. — get things done”

    Is the Sweaty Marshmallow trying to claim Romney is a nerd? To be listed anywhere near the three nerds above, you have to develop some kind of popular technology (and it doesn’t hurt to give billions of dollars to charity).

    Not only has Romney not created any product ever in his career, but he’s the very definition of an anti-nerd. Romney is the guy who, at the end of a nerd movie, gets his comeuppance by having manure dumped on his head before being pushed in the swimming pool by his now ex-girlfriend.

    According to Wikipedia, it took place from May 14 to September 17, 1787 — Spring AND Summer.

    So, they’re both wrong. Hah!

    Syracuse fan here, awaiting the inevitable ugly tournament loss. Has there been a more depressing 30+ win team in the history of college basketball?

    For those here who are defending Krzyzewski’s behavior because Duke ended up in the Final Four that year — you are totally, totally, totally missing the point.

    I should mention that’s not a necklace around Callista’s neck. It’s a zipper.

    Another shorter McMegan:

    I love to cook! Except for the whole “cooking” part…yuck.

    Another another shorter McMegan:

    “Bourgeois”? Didn’t I make that sauce the other day, with my $1500 food processor?

    Learn to video conference, Mr. Epstein.

    Does a legitimate business activity even exist anymore which requires a corporate jet, that can’t be done 1000x faster and 1000000x cheaper via the internet?

    Because the only practical use I can think of is to use it fly to some tropical island with a cargo full of cocaine and hookers.

    Megan, you have 105 days to do your taxes. You don’t actually have to wait until April 15th.

    But I guess that fits with how Libertarians never mature past college. Still slacking all semester, then cramming at the last minute.

    Whenever I see the name “Dagny Taggart” it makes me think of Dabney Coleman. Stop making me have sexy fantasies about Dabney Coleman.

    The producers released that clip on purpose?

    An insufferable prick comes home to his insufferable prick of a wife and a bunch of insufferable pricks they call friends. Everybody apparently hates each other. His friend asks for a donation in the most insufferably prickish way imaginable.

    If Henry Reardon kept his eyes closed and giggled at inappropriate times, this could be a big-budget remake of The Room.

    I’m sure this goes without saying, but by the end of the 2008 election every single person in the media, including those employed by Fox News, had said bad things about Palin. It was so obvious she was a joke, that it was next to impossible to find anything nice to say about her. And it’s not like they could have just ignored her — she was a friggin VP candidate.

    So yeah, Ziegler lists some who were fired, quit, changed jobs, retired, or (I think in Larry King’s case) died over the past two years. And, holy shit, they all said bad things about Palin during the election.
