  • A Classic Piece of Comic Understatement

    This article contains a truly priceless piece of comic undertstatement, i.e., the following by Stanford technology professor Lawrence Lessig:

    "Technology for the Bush administration is a total non-issue, even though that was the thing that drove most growth in 1992 to 2003. And the reason I think he'd be led to that is because [he's] a guy who doesn't understand anything about technology in the first place"

    (emphasis added).

    Expecting George Bush to operate a computer is like putting a pink tutu on a baboon and inviting it to high tea at Windsor Castle with the Marx Brothers.
