““I would like to know why is Steve Jobs using a BlackBerry and not an iPhone?” My response: “Because I got the BlackBerry from Forbes, for free, and I couldn’t see buying an iPhone and carrying both of them. And, um, in case you hadn’t noticed, I’m not actually Steve Jobs, you dumb fuck.””

Single-issue voters

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:42:46 -0400

If you are a single-issue (or even a two-, three-, or four-issue) voter in any part of the political spectrum, and there are enough of you to make a difference in this and any future election, we’re already fucked and we just don’t fully realize it yet.

2nd Amendment

“There’s just more competition. I think that’s an exciting thing for consumers. I think it’s a wonderful thing for TV viewers. But I think it’s a very, very challenging thing for people who do what I do for a living and the people at Showtime and HBO and other basic cable networks. I think one of the things, though, that I really pride myself on - and we’ll see how it plays out over time - but I think one thing that FX has done very well is we really haven’t rested on our laurels. We’ve really continued to take risks.”

- Fox, FX, ABC execs tell it like it is

Reading this, I can’t help but think: the only place in America where the free market and open competition is alive and well are in scripted TV series.

“This is all a canard, orchestrated by the US airline industry’s lobbying group (the Air Transportation Association put together the joint letter). So you know it’s about positioning to get something from Congress.”
