Be honest, when was the last time you heard someone say "let me Bing that" or "let me Yahoo that" or "let me duckduckgo that"?

2009, 2006, and never because anti-government street nutjobs only screech, respectively.

We are mostly harmless, at least when it comes to being a hazard to otherworldly civilizations. To fear alien armadas is silly, humans are the real threat. There might be a human behind you right now!

I don't, funnily enough. I only saw some early ones (about 18 years ago).

It's amazing how we absorb references and forget where we get them.

Cartman is pretty much the fictional character that I use as a base model in order to make sense of a rather large section of the American population.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
