I was so disappointed that Binface didn't win that one. I mean, I didn't honestly expect him to, but I really wanted him to. And the idea of anybody voting for Nigel fucking Farage makes my skin crawl.

I mean, a really good start would be to pump as much money as possible into education and anti-poverty initiatives. Of course, the people who would oppose that are the dumbest people on the planet, so we're kind of back to square 1.

Just finished "There Is No Anti-memetics Division" by QNTM, and heading to the library now to pick up the second book in the "Old Man's War" series by John Scalzi. Loved TINAMD, btw. Very creepy, lots of existential dread. Quick read, too - only like 270 pages.
