I think "knowledge" might be too strong a word.

I was gonna. He's a stupid fucker.

I guess what's baffling to me is that news outlets everywhere aren't just saying, "This is WRONG. This guy is dangerously ignorant." Maybe that's not a news outlet's job, but they certainly give opinions on everything else these days.

Don't worry, I'm sure The Newsroom will get to it in a couple of years.

by then, he'll be some committee chair or something(God forbid)

I'm sad that it's true.

I don't think that is true.

Yes.

What's the quote about everyone being entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts?

oh no, you all must be wrong. The liberal media machine is surely calling him a wrongheaded fool. Liberal Socialists (whatever they are) run the media, so it must be happening.

I have a student who is the product of incest. Which was rape, let me be entirely clear here. I would love to introduce King to her and let her talk to him about the difficulty of her life. Or better yet, talk to her mother.

That fucker needs to shut up.

However, I am also glad she was not aborted, because she is a lovely and talented young woman who I am proud to know.

As soon as Soledad O'Brien finishes taking on the Ryan Medicare plan, trying to get Christine O'Donnell to give the correct definition of Marxism and getting GOP reps to quit splitting hairs on the term "voucher" versus "federally funded private health insurance premium offset" she can get right onto this.

Um, how do you expect us to trust Soledad O'Brien? She's definitely a woman, and I'm pretty sure she's not even white!!

I'm wondering if this is standard industry practice, and how productive it is:

I took a call yesterday where someone said, basically: "Bear with me, ita [lastname] of [The Company You Work For}. I got your name and I'm wondering if you're the right person to talk to. I represent a very sharp .NET developer with excellent C# skills and....are you interested in hiring him?"

I blanked out a bit and said "No, I'm not the right person."

"Well, could you tell me who is?"

"No."

"Can you tell me if these are the right skills for your organisation?"

"No."

"Well..."

And then I hung up on her without feeling much guilt, because that's an incredibly pushy cold call, and totally wrongly targeted.

For you guys in IT--is this normal? Has anyone ever done this to or for you? Has it worked? Do you think it would? Is it worth it?

I was just nothing but pissed, but maybe if I were hiring it would be useful? I can't even tell.

I worked too hard this morning. I've sent out more emails today than I have maybe in a slow week. And some of them were the same email more than once, to my management, and then I sent someone to go find them (they're at the office in the midwest) and ask them to read it and come back and tell me the answer. I'll close your freaking loop.
