I’d love to see SNL update this for 2013.

Holder: Mr. President, won’t tracking reporters’ communications look a little… I dunno, bold?

Obama: I didn’t hear you complain when we were sending guns to Mexico, Eric. Just fucking do it.

Social Surveillance

Social Surveillance:

A bit out of practice. One of the first since leaving the safety of the dull cubicle.

But that’s all volunteered data. If I post a photo of myself naked and hanging upside down from a fire escape (by the way this never happened, I swear) that’s my own damned fault. I owned the photo, I consented (presumably) to the photo, and hell, maybe I even tagged myself. Ultimately I consented with full knowledge to posting it publicly.

Are your friends and family documenting your life?

“At Northern Virginia’s acclaimed Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, which both Mr. Jaska and Mr. Berman attend, there are five computer science teachers, but none focused on security.”

- Security is indeed an important topic, but to imply that a high school computer science teacher should be “focused on security” seems blazingly silly to me.

Am I wrong?

“Sometimes I feel like I’m just babysitting for somebody and they’re going to arrive any minute to take him home, but then you see that their face is your face and figure maybe once they can talk you’ll be able to do some pretty cool things.”

“you have a lot of young, hopeful, unrich people, and a lot of older, less hopeful, but orders-of-magnitude wealthier people who want to invest in the young, hopeful people, often in the same way an older man with a videocamera wants to invest in a porn starlet.”

“Rob may not have been a stereotypically great student. But he was outstanding from the viewpoint of the U.S. News and World Report college rankings, the most important arbiter of status in higher education. He went to a top-rated school, and he didn’t hurt its score because the U.S. News rankings don’t measure how much students learn; they don’t measure whether students spend their evenings talking about Jonathan Swift or playing beer pong; and they don’t measure whether students, like Rob, are just there to get through.”
