He is truly all things to all people. His fall will be monumental, IMO.

"One imagines a terrifying rally of 'Star Trek' people shouting, 'One of us!'"

I was thinking more like "You will be assimilated".

His fall will be monumental, IMO.

And it will be "Bush's fault."

President-elect Barack Obama ... can't part with his BlackBerry...

Note for future reference: Subpeona of Obama's blackberry

That the US will be branded as racist forever.

BHO has yet to take office and he is the subject of virtually everything that is newsworthy and most of which aren't.

His face is in every newspaper and magazine and MULTIPLE times in different sections of each.

He dominates the internet news sites, blogs and streaming content, and even though "WE" know very little about him prior to his being elected to the Senate, he has become the savior of mankind and the perfect darling of the MSM.

His coverage is maddening and his constant presence is sickening but this 24/7 BHO bull is clearly here to stay.

As a certified geek (female type, even, which is more rare) I will unequivocally state Obama is no geek.

You need a lot more than one or two geeky interests to be a geek. And Blackberries don’t count - they’re more a business thing than a geek thing anyway.

"Usafi said, noting that Occidental was a geeky school to start with, billing itself as the Yale of the West.

Yeah well Occidental can "bill" itself however it likes - doesn't mean anyone else gives a rat's a## what they pretend to be. Maybe they should call themselves "the Oxford of America" to really sound prestigious..... doesn't mean anyone believes it.

[Moose Burger]

Meh. I won’t believe it until I hear him sing the Lumberjack song.

This is America, give it 9 months and people will get sick of ANYthing.

“His fall will be monumental, IMO”

It will be as spectacular as the Hindenburg disaster and as costly as the sinking of the RMS Titanic.

Don’t know about that but I’ve heard rumours that he does know the Zero Wing “All Your Base Belong to Us” subtitles, so that right there is a wee bit geeky.

[edge10]

As a geek, I resent this.

Geeks don’t have the hubris this man represents.
Geeks don’t do coke (unless it’s a cola).
Geeks don’t flip off their rivals (they may virtually attack them with a +1 mace).

“President-elect Barack Obama ... can’t part with his BlackBerry...”

subpoena the blackberry for the Blagogate thingy
