14. John Hodgman is KILLING me......

.... talking about a nerd revolution ... citing the fact that the revolution in Iran is driven by the sleep cycles of the nerds on twitter. ha ha ha!!!

(Phone rang, I'm a bit behind)

[jefferson_dem]

15. I love it.

Very unorthodox but tasty still...in a cerebral deadpan sort of way.

[Clio the Leo]

19. "This is the beginning of a long journey......"

that it is John .... that it is..... it's unfortunate that not everyone at DU got to see that. Very sound advice.

Live Long and Prosper to you too....





Actually, I think I'm gonna transcribe this into an OP.

[jenmito]

16. I love how Hodgman did the whole play on the birther thing but questioning

whether or not he's a geek. :D

[FrenchieCat]

18. Yep...the whole thing was a take on "He's not one of us".....

hope some of the RWers that I saw (not laughing) in the audience got the joke!

Most likely.....not.

[Clio the Leo]

20. and "this is not the time for purity tests...."

... that last part sounded like it was written with DU in mind.

[jenmito]

22. Yup...

lots of stuff some people probably didn't "get."

[jenmito]

21. Exactly...

hopefully someone later explained it to them.

[FrenchieCat]

24. They still won't get it.

They are not the sort.
Life is serious for them.....
in particular, keeping their lies straight!

[jenmito]

25. Good point...

It's no joking matter to them.

[Raine]

17. Obama was TERRIFIC!!

He's make a great comedian, his delivery is perfect ... I laughed till was sick. :rofl:
