Rumsfeld resignation captioned well by Mac OS X

We DID just have an election... I think it's a perfectly valid story to post at this time... and its Mac related.

I wouldn't worry too much about this blog becoming political folks... no one enjoys the bullying and complaining (mostly from the right) that happens whenever politics is brought up on tech websites.

To my fellow GOP out there, lighten up. It was meant for fun. You gotta laugh at yourself every now then.

After Tuesday, the only thing I have left is my humor.

Yep, Slashdot's slide into left-wing nuttiness is exactly the reason I stopped going there. There are a million political websites out there. We don't need a million and one.

This is the same argument I've been making about John Gruber's Daring Fireball - now that he's the darling star of the Mac Web he's chosen to start making political statements every couple of days. Each day this week he has changed his byline from "D Pennsylvania" to "Sweet Virginia" from the usual "Mac Nerdery etc" He also regularly takes witty potshots at Republicans as if to say all those that are Republican are sub par thinkers.

This was a big reason there was a mass exodus from Slashdot ... if TUAW, Engadget, and Gruber aren't careful they will start to slide in readership as well.

Slashdot has gone from "News for nerds" to "Forums for Osama" in my opinion. I hope that doesn't happen here.

Nice, however it's incredibly inaccurate.

Rummy has offered his resignation a total of 4 times and King George has refused it each time. This was more of a "Force Accept". But hey, lets not let messy things like Facts get in the way. ;-)

I love how these idiots are complaining that it's a political post, when it was made very clear that it is not. Chill out douchebags, it's just a funny picture that ties in well with Macs. Lighten the hell up.

By the way, I'm not a Republican. I'm a Libertarian, and I'm complaining about the direction of TUAW, not a Apple-related article I don't like. Of course I don't have to come here and read what's written, but I like to read a good Apple blog. That's exactly what TUAW is, and I'd wish it stayed like that.

Conversely, someone can use any argument similar to "If you don't like it, don't read it" to retort my comment above. Follow your own advice if you think it's so great.

Again, I can't be clearer, I don't think anyone wants TUAW to become the next Moveon.org. We already have one of those.

Well done!

What a bunch of whiny mother@#%&!s you people are. You brought it on yourself by clicking the link David Chartier provided. He didn't post the picture for a reason.

If you don't want to see something that might provoke a response and upset your perceived higher-minded values, don't click!

And get a life!

Who the hell cares what you come here for? The blog is set up so that you can *skip* what you don't want to read. Whiners.
