Yeah. We tend to snicker about "patent reform", but the current system is so over-fucked that it must put at least a 20% brake on what should be the leading edge of the economy.

I thought it looked like he was getting an enema.

And we have a Veep that smiles, not one that grimaces and menaces.

And while I appreciate the $10.10 raise (IF Congress lets it trickle down to us non-Govmt peons) I'd appreciate some full-time jobs also.

Given that there was a mall-shooting just up the road JUST SATURDAY, I'd like to amen the Fuck-The-Guns line.

Well not all cats... my son's cat is a needy slut. God help you and the door handle if you even think about showering or peeing behind a closed door without her being there to supervise the entire process.

I'd give it to ya but my son would disown me. I already have a hard enough time competing with her for his love and devotion.

Damn, when he croons to me in that sexy baritone and says those sweet things, I just can't quit him.

Is it a more sober or less drunk discussion?

Ah, the Olympics: our chance to see some of the most beautiful athletes do the most beautiful things, periodically punctuated with bouts of jingoism, anthem-blatting and flag-waving.

Plus, curling! Please sportsplain me how slow-pitch softball was rejected as an Olympic sport, and that Canuckistani janitorial competition is still my teevee?

Having worked on support research for loads of patent litigation, I am 100% in agreement that the system is fucked up. And it is complicated, and boring to talk about, but the current system is a huge hindrance to innovation. So cudos to Bamz for taking on the initiative, even though it's not very sexy.
