A financial instrument that derives its value from something else.

You may not need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, but sometimes it is helpful to have a reporter to tell us what's news.

In this case, we have a reporter who needs a reporter - apparently she can't find out the news on her own. I must be confused, because up to know I pretty much figured that was her job.

Does nobody use an acid-tipped spiked dick anymore? (Ezra Klein's got one, if anyone's looking)

I continue to think it is interesting that people who are vocally against drugs - particularly weed - don't consider alcohol to be a drug. The drug of choice for the wealthy doesn't register on the scale. Years ago, a recovering alcoholic told me "There are more drunks on Montgomery Street than on Mission Street."

Somehow, the dry white wine she sips each evening isn't a drug. But if a few folks decide it's a good time to twist a fatty, Western civilization is suddenly in peril.

Meanwhile, why did this news network hire someone who can't tell the difference between the Occupy Wall Street Protest and Burning Man?

One hundred forty characters? I've watched several Shakespeare plays, and he got along fine with a couple of dozen. Is this Ben Hur?

Unfortunately, if any political point of view needs more than 140 characters to be explained it will fall on the garbage heap of history.

The idiotcracy is here.
