Pierre Omidyar, Again

There's probably something to occasion this teeth-gnashing about Pierre Omidyar. I'd say Richard Smart had a lot more charm and personality.

Basically Omidyar is the Vinod Khosla asshole of Hawaii http://t.co/YubDlOgQg8

Bland Leading the Blind

Discussion of the Washington Post expose of Mitt Romney's thuggish ways at Cranbrook has centered on his forcible haircutting of a younger student. But leading a nearly blind teacher to walk into a closed door was another of his so-called pranks. We can disregard his apology as well. He was sorry. Sorry he was caught out there. There's more I could say about this, for example, the culture of boarding schools, but I have to think about it and gather some information. == 11 May update: Like most people, I first heard about Cranbrook in the movie 8 Mile. Rapper B-Rabbit (Eminem), a working-class white man, reveals in the climactic battle-rap scene that his bitterest rival, Papa Doc (Anthony Mackie), happens to be an upper-middle-class student at the academy, thereby annihilating his street cred.

A$$hole

As I said at Hattie's Web, it's not that Mitt Romney is a Mormon, it's that he's an a$$hole. (It's never a good idea to put your money where your mouth is.)



16 January update: More proof of Mitt's a$$holiness.
