Love the subtle nod to the W "fool me once" clip. One of the greatest of all time!

There is little if anything that is still "right-wing" about Drudge today. If you doubt me, load it a few times every week and see what is featured. It's not the Drudge of 5 or 10 or 15 years ago.

It does nothing of a sort. Stop lying.

I read Daring Fireball basically everyday. Most of what John writes that is non-political I find insightful or amusing.

This post which is a defense of the battery case makes me sad because it just feels so disingenuous. I've been using Apple products since before it was cool and this is the ugliest product I can remember the company releasing. It's hideous and not even that great at what it is supposed to be because of the smallish battery capacity. I can't get over how the top and bottom aren't even symmetrical. It's so gross. It's definitely something Apple should have said no to.

Had this been released by Samsung, it would have been a link list item featuring an insulting joke. Instead we are treated to a nearly 2900 word justification of why this battery case isn't as bad as the other battery cases already on the market. Painful.
