“I failed in a very important way in my personal life.” via CNN.com.

Eliot, baby.  Sweetcakes. This is not an apology. This is not making amends. After all, we have it willingly or no, imbedded in our brains, fuckhead, that you had sex with a hooker with your socks on. Stylish, silk business socks? Little clocks up the side? Were they the kind that stay up by themselves (no pun intended) or did you wear little garters, Eliot. Cookie-baby.

Not that I want to know. I think that’s the point.

“I think one of the largest, most difficult tasks that he has is to control the outrage that is brewing in the public, sympathize with it and garner it, but use it to get good policy, not policy based upon anger …”

scienceblogs: It simply should not be acceptable for people who are ignorant of math and science to consider themselves Intellectuals.

Hello. I was wondering if we might have a word or two. Or three. (Numeracy!)

Oh thank you. It won’t hurt a bit.

Well, not much.

Yours,

p.s. And how is that wonderful novel of yours coming along.

Just saying.

The Bastardly [cute. real cute]: Remember Allison Stokke? I bet you do! Now she’s a freshman at Cal Berkeley and doing well for their women’s track team … Here’s her official Cal profile. Well, all we have is this one recent picture but no one will ever forget the first Allison picture that lit up inboxes …

I don’t know how to break it to you, guys … but that thing in your pants? The one that leads you around like a pig with a ring in its nose?

Try and grasp this: it is of no interest. That’s right! Zip! Nada!

In addition, there is nothing clever or funny about being assholes. Hard to believe, I know.

Mostly, besides being disgusted, we feel sorry for you. Horny guys, guys without women (clue) are thick on the ground. Plus of course what you are doing is harassment of another human being. Yes! Another person, like you! Only better!

Now, if you were to become men …

But I say, Take care of your arteries, man, and they will take care of you. Yes I do think you burned off a at least a few potential TIA’s with this magnificent title:

Yet Another in the Ongoing Series Wherein I Examine a Piece of Supposedly Serious Apple Analysis From a Major Media Outlet and Dissect Its Inaccuracies, Fabrications, and Exaggerations Point-by-Point, Despite the Fact That No Matter How Egregious the Inaccuracies / Fabrications / Exaggerations, Such Pieces Inevitably Lead to Accusations That I’m Some Sort of Knee-Jerk Shill Who Rails Against Anything ‘Anti-Apple’ Simply for the Sake of Defending Apple, and if I Love Apple So Much Why Don’t I Just Marry Them?

But brace yourself. Adam L. Penenberg (give the guy a break, he’s probably fourteen years old. No? Oh. Well in that case, his stupid-ass ass? Kick it again. The crime? A level of witlessness that makes Enderle Industries spokesperson, R. Endlerle, look good. Okay, not good … But why do you read these assholes anyway?)

I do love it when you get all wound up in your Daring-Fireball-the-guy-who-never-gets-wound-up way. Restraint is a such pleasure to read.

However, I feel strangely compelled point out, You missed one:

“But none of that will stop a growing number of adversaries from doing all they can to pare Apple down.”

Now promise me you won’t get upset.
