You can actually program in this. Best programming language since OOK.
HAI CAN HAS STDIO? VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!" KTHXBYE
I thought I'd memed this a while back... yeah, it's actually sort of functional. Ridiculous, but functional. People have the craziest hobbies... "I think I'll write a parser for a language based on all this LOLCATS stuff!"

I'll be in this boat in a few weeks... Our flight leaves San Fran at like 11 am. I haven't really figured out what I'm gonna do with the sleeping. I might end up out in Osaka looking for Ramen or Takoyaki around our hotel at like 4 am.
Edwards focuses on electability argument - 2008 Presidential Campaign Blog - Boston Globe - Political Intelligence

"We need a leader who can compete anywhere in America, and win," former Georgia Governor Roy Barnes said in a statement provided by the Edwards campaign. "Some pundits say that a Democrat can't win in some places in the South, Midwest or West.
"Some pundits" huh? Jesus christ, this notion of "electability" is a dead end street. Even discussing it is an effective resignation of politics as a competition of ideas. "Electability" means "popularity contest" and as much as I recognize the reality of those elements, discussing them like this is cheap and harmful to the larger discourse. I like Edwards well enough, but I'm very tired of seeing this "electability" stuff. I've entertained the idea before, but ultimately it's just plain detrimental to democracy.

The Clinton campaign says it's unfortunate that Obama's camp is "abandoning the politics of hope and instead employing the same old attack"
This is annoying as shit. Pretty much anytime anyone says anything about Clinton's record or policy positions, they trot out this bullshit about "abandoning the politics of hope"...
It's fucking asinine. What the fuck does hope have to do with it? This is my least favorite thing about Clinton's campaign... it's a very stereotypical politician attitude she has about not defending herself on merit, but trying to undermine the other candidate's integrity by implying some sort of ad hominem.
