So his passing was submerged under the double media blitzes of ISIS and Ferguson... but Robin Williams was a great American and did a ton to contribute to the USO... entertaining a generation of folks overseas. But this is from 1982... he was still doing Mork and Mindy... when he recorded this.

Brilliant and touching. A guy who, in my opinion, we all lost too soon.

In great respect,

F#ckin idiots

Yes, they are fucking idiots. Making matters even worse is they are lazy fucking idiots. Not one additional ounce of eloquence is required to describe the cross-eyed, drooling, mouth breathing, troglodyte masses hunched over the editorial desks at the Huffington Post. But let's go a bit further and see what sort off effect such lazy fucking idiots can have. The following is from Ryan J. Reilly's LinkedIn resume:

Congressional Intern
U.S. House of Representatives
August 2006 – December 2006 (5 months)
Managed constituent correspondence, drafted responses to inquires on legislative issues.

Handled office communications including phone calls, visitors, and mail.

Aided with congressional research, attended meetings regarding current government issues.


I can only imagine the rigor with which this dolt approached his congressional "research". It's bad enough that John Q public might call his representative and have to endure the hollow squirting sounds of Mr. Reilly on the other end of the phone, but this guys work (and hundreds just like him) can affect public policy. Lest Ryan be dismissed offhandedly as a moronic outlyer amongst moronic journalists, I say nay. He is one of the cream molecules at the pinnacle of American media blather spewing. Also from his LinkedIn resume:

And should you doubt for one nanosecond the unfortunate weight an intern might throw in the wrong direction:

NTSB blames the intern, a time-honored tradition - In the Loop - The Washington Post

His research via tweeting is but a hint of the journalistic doldrums we find in the world of pop media.
