    This is the squirrel of internet road-kill. Not as big as a deer, or weird as a possum, and practically everywhere. You can expect to zip past them from regularly, and it's really not worth getting off your bicycle to stop and take a closer look.

    Even though it's curiously tempting. #racism

    Twitter is the fountain pen of the ignorant, biased and bored.

    I am very unhappy that this bill passed in the House. If something like this bill passes both the House and Senate, my only hope is that in four years a new Congress or President rescinds this bill and uses the tremendous taxes collected to pay down our country's debt.

    BTW, I am one of the conservatives that is FOR health care reform. This bill just sucks. #racism

    Does Playgirl do flaccid, erect, or both? I'm sure there are folks out there who prefer the former, but I'm not sure if they're a niche fetish group or more of a mainstream minority.

    If they want him hard, the "grower, not a shower" excuse is dead in the water. #levijohnston

    I'm glad that at least some people here (i.e. Brian, for one) are intuitive enough to know that the Twitter account is a fake.

    There was a post on it about a month ago that reported it as authentic -- an assertion that I refuted in the comments -- and I was (irrationally) peeved that a correction was never issued.

    He totally could have gone on Conan, read the tweets, and played it off as a joke. Just read them with a hunky smile, then as they're fading to commercial, mouth "I didn't write those." Then point to his crotch and say "December, bitches." This is what I would like from Levi Johnston. #levijohnston

    When I was about this kid's age, I attended a Mac User Group meeting in my local area. The local MUG leadership was a lot of guys who looked and acted like Dave Winer, Mike Arrington, Robert Scoble, etc. -- self-important shitbrains who weren't even legitimate nerds.

    The only thing worse than knowing about their pathetic corner of the Universe back then is having it covered by mainstream outlets today. #danielbrusilovsky

    People like this always seem so fucking insufferable, don't they? Every day is a resume contest, every day an opportunity to network. I mean, he calls himself an "evangelist" and he's got the shit-eating grin of a shit-eater twice his age.

    God, I think there are only people like this in the tech world, where you can literally float anywhere, with no real talent, on a cloud of snake oil. #danielbrusilovsky

    @Pope John Peeps II: With all due respect to the kid, Twitter really wants to support this soulless zombie evangelizer? This is what gets your endorsement, twitter? huh?We creatives really need to bum-rush this fuck. You know things are really getting retarded when this is rewarded and the talented and the edgy are tossed aside lightly. Sorry, kid; I know it's not you, per se, it's the whole fucking evangelical, snakeoil era of hustle. #danielbrusilovsky

    Dude, the kid is 16! For those who are 32 and still "evangelizing", yes rip on them. They should have picked up other skills by that age. This kid hasn't even finished high school.

    Hope you at least feel better about yourself. #danielbrusilovsky

    @mew: What the fuck should his age have anything to do with it? If anything, that makes it worse! Who is teaching him this garbage? Who's listening to him? It's the ultimate condemnation of a cycle of idiocy when a 16 year old CHILD is its lynchpin. You should spend your teen years DOING things and learning things. He's basically learning how to do and be nothing at all, and produce an imaginary value, and everyone is just encouraging him. #danielbrusilovsky

    2009: "hey, you know what would be great? I'm going to purchase this other person's software and create a website to link people of one tiny niche with each other, and then i'm going to "advise" other companies on how to get people to meet other people! It's a complex skill!"
