I don't come to the comment page for this type of article to read this kind of comment. I read these comments to see flame bait and trolling.

Is he a Jehovah's Witness?
As an agent of the WPP I can't answer that, but let's just say Jehovah did some pretty nasty things and he may not have been as careful as he thinks.

Slow news day, and throwing some politics into the mix always generates some page hits. It's either that or the umpteenth "iPad defeats netbooks, AIDS, and communism" article.

Krogans in Supreme Court? (Score:5, Funny)
I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to put Krogans in the Supreme Court. After all, they were genetically engineered as a weapon and so it might not be safe for the other members of the court. On the other hand, it might give me and Obama Paragon points that might open interesting conversation options later. What do your think?

Wow, I knew Linux was platform-agnostic but had no idea the kernel was compatible with flesh and blood architecture. Or are they patching in the spleen and circulatory system drivers later?

All I've got to say is how Cmdr Taco found time to head over to Iraq and arrest Saddam Hussein is beyond me. What with all the attention paid to editing Slashdot submissions...
Wait a minute. I think I just figured it out.
Move along. Nothing to see here.

Unless...maybe this is a subtle way of saying Kagan is a robot! Is Obama poised to nominate the first female robot Supreme Court Justice? This could indeed be a historic moment! Not only that, it would finally balance the court in terms of robot justices. Finally the liberal side of the court will have its own robot justice to balance out Clarence Thomas.

Don't let the spin fool you. It would be impossible for Obama to find someone to the left of justice Stevens. Therefore, even replacing him with a fire breathing, man-hating lesbian liberal would be a move to the right.
