Quote of the Day

Indiana governor Mitch Daniels:

In word and deed, the President and his allies tell us that we just cannot handle ourselves in this complex, perilous world without their benevolent protection. Left to ourselves, we might pick the wrong health insurance, the wrong mortgage, the wrong school for our kids; why, unless they stop us, we might pick the wrong light bulb!

From the GOP response to the State of the Union speech.

  • I wonder if there will be any questions about contraceptives at the debate tonight. Because it's such a burning issue, that's why. Shut up. #
  • Oh good. I've shaken my cold, just in time… to catch another cold. Huzzah. #
  • No, 3:30pm is NOT too late in the day to enjoy a good cup of coffee. (Nor, for that matter, is 11pm… if you work nights.) #
  • I swear, every single thing L Ron Paul says sounds like a bad parody written by the lamest TV writing teams. Like, say, SNL or Glee. #
  • No Wikipedia? Man, I feel sorry for all those kids who have papers due tomorrow. #suckitjunior #
  • In case you hadn't heard… SOPA and PIPA are the largest potential threat to the 1st Amendment since… well, maybe ever. #
  • SOPA and PIPA are the kinds of thing that happen when you have lawyers making laws about technology. They ignore actual technical experts. #
  • Here's a thought: until members of congress can explain how the internet works, they ought not to presume they know how to regulate it. #
  • Perry drops out – http://t.co/wkqIOmRT – class act. #
  • Is it really so nuts to have a contingency plan for if the cats figure out how to open doors and use can openers on their own? #
  • Yay, work is done for the night. Now I'll spend the rest of the night trying not to fall asleep in my comfy leather executive desk chair. :) #
  • I've picked Kismet up off the desk and moved him to the floor about 100 times today. He weighs 15lbs and squirms. Upper body workout: done. #
  • Fridays at work are always interesting, if "dread" might be considered interesting. Never know what kind of weirdness will land on my desk. #
  • First problem of the day: EIGRP neighbor failure. One command, goodbye. I was inclined to say "boom, headshot" on the conf call. #geek #
  • It seems somehow wrong to be eating kimchi & rice with a fork. #
  • Dang, I did it again. Dozed off in my comfy desk chair. This is gonna screw up the rest of my night. #
  • Having just watched an episode of a zombie series, I am thinking that the Anime Network could call itself the Fanservice Network. Egads. #
  • OK, which of you knuckleheads broke the network today? #
  • Apparently, my role at work today is to emulate The Amazing Kreskin. #
  • Has L Ron Paul tied an onion to his belt yet? #tcot #
  • I missed it… when L Ron Paul made his entrance, what was the background music? Crazy Train? #tcot #
  • It must seem like a miracle to a cat, to see a human extract food from a can. Sure, the novelty wears off quickly when they're hungry…. #
  • This new Kiefer Sutherland show "Touch" looks kind of interesting. So Fox will probably cancel it after four episodes. #
  • Species-ist! RT @AndrewBreitbart: http://t.co/6gHWEw96 #
