Less humor in this comment, and apologies if it was posted before: But I really, really hate this.

The impoverished United States government hires people (graphic designers, copywriters) to build websites like that, to convince people to count on government for more and more stuff.

Here's a fun factoid for those of us who enjoy snarking about higher ed.

"I am an atheist" meme

Know this.

Crid,

Fuck you and fuck twitter.

If you have a link from twitter, just post the link directly.

My connection to the internet is via a slow ass Sprint aircard. It takes a full 45 seconds, if not longer, to load a fucking twitter page. Then if I follow on from there is really questionable.

Just post a comment with a link directly to a page that loads at normal speed.

A man who had been caught embezzling millions from his employer went to a lawyer seeking defense. He didn’t want to go to jail. But his lawyer told him, "Don’t worry. You’ll never have to go to jail with all that money.” And the lawyer was right. When the man was sent to prison, he didn’t have a dime.

A lawyer's dog, running around town unleashed, heads for a butcher shop and steals a roast. The butcher goes to the lawyer's office and asks, "if a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?" The lawyer answers, "Absolutely."

"Then you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today."

The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $8.50. The butcher, having a feeling of satisfaction, leaves.

Three days later, the butcher finds a bill from the lawyer: $100 due for a consultation.

Twitter and I represent two of America's most compelling innovations.

I don't love you enough to change my behavior.

Remember: The internet is like a series of tubes. And it's the whimsical, carefree, sometimes profligate use of hyperlinks which makes the internet such a wonderful place to work, play and raise a family.

Besides, I understand that with Twitter, as with any computer technology, there are sometimes risks...

But this shit is funny.
