Not as good. And I don't think anything is going to top John McCain is your Jalopy.

John McCain thinks that's a bunch of hooey.

What's with all the inside baseball references to people like Locke? The tech blogosphere pwns all when it comes to insular masturbatory "humor".

It's the television show "Lost," not the dead philosopher. Not exactly inside baseball.

Don’t get it. I never get this shit.

I think have a specialized learning disability that keeps me from understanding the internet running jokes.

On a related note I think my brain turns off for 5 seconds every time I read the word, “meta” on a blog.

In terms of time saved by not paying attention to that kind of stuff, it's probably a huge evolutionary advantage.

I know that it was a Lost reference. My point is that it's a nerd joke that's light on humor, and high on obscure references...which is par for the course for tech bloggers.

Glad to hear from some others. I didn't get it either.

Wait, "Lost" is now obscure? There's an easy way to score some nerd/snob points.

My favorite is "When Obama wins, fortune cookies fortune will literally end in 'in bed.'"

"When Obama wins, Petey's head will explode."

When Obama wins, Petey's head will just fall off, and then we can reattach it with duct tape and sell it to the blind kid for spending money.

...and shame on me for not knowing how to create a hyperlink tag...

(Still love your site, MY. If you ever run into Ambinder, tell him I stopped reading his because he decided he can't stand the heat of comments - even though his comments were one of the more polite, sane sections on these Interwebs.)

When Obama loses ...

... MY is going to have some 'splaining to do!

When Obama wins, it will take just a LITTLE longer for a new war to start.

WTF? It's tempting to attribute my reaction to my fossil-like state of being 55, but if I was 25 I wouldn't have found it any funnier.
