re: #1135 Jimmah
The coming together of the ‘minds’ of Palin and Beck really does seem like an ominous indicator of this awful event.
And what a meeting of ‘minds’ that would be. Hard not to picture it as a horrible kind of slow motion braincrash, with the mangled corpse of reason inextricably embedded in the twisted wreckage left behind.
“braincrash”. Love it. ;) And all Chris Morris references, as you know.
The comments on the Balloon Juice article are hilarious. I love this one, by ‘Warren Terra’:
I think I’ve seen it proposed that the Singularity will come when humans create, then merge with, thinking machines.
Clearly the path to the Wingularity is precisely the opposite: a political machine must create, then merge with, unthinking humans.
Also, love the nic!
