William Gibson said that after he heard that Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis Presley, married the current iteration of Michael Jackson, he realized that the more our culture develops, the more difficult it is for him to do his job as a science fiction author because the we are going to start exponentially surpassing the imagination of even visionaries like him.

And well, Neal Stephenson is my generation's Gibson, so I used him instead.

I mean, this is a scenario out Snow Crash, isn't it?

True, plus the insurance lobby is going to throw their weight behind him 100%.

Still, Obama is a dick. Nowhere near far enough on the side of the poor and middle class.

Two-party system's a bitch, ain't it?

It's worth remembering that Obama is not an emperor, and before Scott Brown showed up, Obama could get passed only those things that 100% of Senate Democrats plus Liebermann agreed with. Since then, Obama can get even less passed. A vast amount of legislation got stalled in the Senate thanks to Republicans; Obama couldn't even get routine appointments approved because of Senate Republicans.

The answer to this isn't to call Obama a dick; the solution is to push harder to oust Republicans. Remember, the Republicans' stated objective is to impede Obama so much that public opinion turns against him; are you going to be one of those people who falls for it?
