The miracles of modernity

I don't know why, but for some reason it cracked me up to learn that Obama signed the Patriot Act reauthorization by remotely "direct[ing] the use of an autopen" from France.

i've heard that the franklin mint will be issuing a fully functional, silver-plated replica of the autopen to commemorate this historic event.

Fuck the pen, I want a silver-plated replica of the electrons. For my bedroom shelf.

Randal, what do you mean, "next"?

almostinfamous, I think the ACLU is too busy sending me "final renewal notice" letters every week about how the republican hordes are trying to take away my right to fart in public or something.

DNC, that's it! That's why it was so funny. Ahh, thanks.
