Related in assholness, it's funny how famous sockpuppeter Lee Siegel is the only person who thinks Lee Siegel is brilliant.
And while I don't know if Megan McArdle is an asshole, she certainly is mind-numbingly stupid.
And anyone that could so glibly dismiss Matt Taibbi -- that's you Tucker Carlson and Ana Marie Cox -- are definitely assholes.
So anyway, we're raving about the app when a dude sits down at the table. We ask him what he does for a living, and it turns out he was the guy who wrote ... Shazam. It was that kind of place.
One of my biggest thrill over the weekend was meeting This is Indexed's Jessica Hagy, who is just as hilarious in person as she is on her blog.
Update: Thers has more.
I had to rush you this Air-Gram today to set the record straight on my firm and unwavering opposition to government-run health care. And ask your immediate support in helping me defeat “Obama-care.” I’m sure you’ve been following this issue closely. If the legislation sponsored by Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the House of Representatives and Chairman Ted Kennedy in the Senate is passed it would be a pathway to a government takeover of the health care svstem. lt would turn over control of your health care decisions to a federal bureaucrat … and take it away from you and your personal physician.

Note, in addition, how he is still using Ted Kennedy to help raise money.
Cheney thinks it was a sterling success when it came to national security and counter-terrorism. Perhaps there's something to this. After all, except for the catastrophic events of 9/11, and the anthrax attacks against Americans, and terrorist attacks against U.S. allies, and the terrorist attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Bush's inability to capture those responsible for 9/11, and waging an unnecessary war that inspired more terrorists, and the success terrorists had in exploiting Bush's international unpopularity, the Bush/Cheney record on counter-terrorism was awesome.
