“And it’s only now, as we’re waking up from that collective bender, that we’re starting to see the cognitive surplus as an asset rather than as a crisis. We’re seeing things being designed to take advantage of that surplus, to deploy it in ways more engaging than just having a TV in everybody’s basement.” I highly recommend reading this commentary by Clay...

“Obama IS a Muslim and he IS a racist and this is a fulfillment of the 911 threat” This is too funny not to post. I can’t believe there is actually people who believe this crap.

This is scary. I can’t believe his wife didn’t know. He kept his daughter in a dungeon since 1984 when she was 18 and fathered seven of her children.
