Someone needs to brush up on their Photoshop skills.
Other than that, I like it.
TJ would’ve fuckin’ LOVED the internet…
TJ would have been one of those crotchety old neocons that were posting on the PI whining about Seattle, actually.
And pretending he wasn’t sleeping with his slaves.
Where’s the original?
You’d think for a newspaper that’s about to go online-only, you’d be able to find the A1 photo on their Web site…
Am I the only one that finds the original Jefferson quote nonsensical on top of being pretty annoying? Granted, there doesn’t seem to be a complete context, but it seems really dumb. If I were given the choice between bacon without the Internet and the Internet without bacon, I would choose bacon. Dumb.
@ 5 – That’s the point. Without bacon, you’d starve. Without SOMEBODY trying to keep us informed, we’d fall into tyranny very quickly.
I’m pretty tired of this revisionist history of Jefferson (and IMO the whole “he owned slaves, so he was a bad man” thing is utterly ridiculous). No, the guy wasn’t a saint. But would you REALLY prefer to see government power concentrated more in Washington, like Hamilton favored?
The de-centralized government that Jefferson preferred is much more in line with the make-your-voice-heard spirit of the internet.
I would choose bacon too.
And then go on the Net.
