No no no...education is only important to get people a job.

We need to cut out all this liberals arts bullshiat and teach kids money-making skillz.

Don't trust anything that the Illusive Man says.

I'll wait to hear what Attorney General Jack McCoy says about this before I make any judgement.

RexTalionis: There's a Jed Bartlet twitter feed and he still tweets? And it's complete with twitter feeds of other West Wing characters? That's kind of unprecedented level of involvement considering the show's been over for at least 6 years now, right?

I've had them followed for better part of a year now. It's great.

Fictional characters are like straight women holding onto gay boyfriends. They serve the same purpose.

When fantasy starts telling reality "Your're doing it wrong"....you're doing it wrong.

First of all, Job Creator, isn't a title, it's a made up phrase. Now Mr. Romney, today you decry the federal bailouts, yet the United States paid $44 million to prop up the pension funds of a steel company in which you were a major shareholder. My question to you is, can we have the money back?

Is there a Lord John Marbury Twitter account? Because that would be awesome.

Just so you know, "food stamp president" is when I decided to kick your ass.

Apparently Sam and Toby were having a really off day.

The only even recurring character that seems to have problems is, oddly, Sam Seaborne. Whoever plays him keeps forgetting his password and making new Twitter accounts.

Here's my list (@ before all of them, obviously)

There is an active online community of x files fans.

The primary motive to getting myself educated was the thought of a job at the other end of the tunnel. Today's youth doesn't have that.

Good luck...

GAT_00: That wasn't a very convincing Bartlet. Come on now. Let Barlet be Bartlet.


Agrees.

Jed Bartlet says "programme"?

BRITISH-LIKE TYPING DETECTED

Unless you were going to a community or tech college, you were doing it wrong.

cgraves67: Don't trust anything that the Illusive Man says.

Awesome.

I can't be the only one that read it in Martin Sheen's voice, too. Man I miss the West Wing.

Well that was, uh...something.

So, the Guardian is now publishing fanfiction?

Fictional character?

Like President RON PAUL?

That's a truly accurate impression of what an Aaron Sorkin character might say, in that it was shrill and preachy and I lost interest before I got halfway through it.

poot_rootbeer: in that it was shrill and preachy and I lost interest before I got halfway through it.

*Walks down corridor*
"It was preachy?"
"It was preachy"
"And shrill?"
"And Shrill"
"So what you're saying is it was shrill and preachy?"
"Shrill and preachy, that's right. DONNA where's the thing?"

Illusive Man/Shepard 2012: Humans first.

Before I click the link: I really, really hope it's Cookie Monster.

I actually thought it was going to be article by Jesus.

Technoblake: No tweets from Marion Coatsworth Hay? Bah!

Too busy collecting her award.

Has someone bwiefed the Pwesident?

/I heard the entire article in my head in Martin Sheen's voice. It was pretty awesome.

They run to the bright lights of our nation's television studios and spend more time talking about how the other side prevents them from doing their job than they spend actually doing their jobs.

That's a pretty good summary of why we hate both parties in congress and even most Republicans are pretty cool with the President by comparison, I'd say.

//Not kidding. I have some friends of the "Obama's a seekrit muslin" variety. In a vacuum, sure, Obama's the worst thing ever for the country. Slip the GOP candidates or our Republican rep into the conversation, though, and it rapidly becomes clear that there are a number of things worse than "worst thing ever for the country". They aren't voting for Obama, but I suspect they aren't voting for anyone given the tone of general disgust.
