    Sometimes you have a thought or idea that you think is 100% unique and original and then you do five seconds of Googling to discover that not only have a lot of other people thought of it before, but they thought of it long before you ever did and may already be a thing you never knew about. You have a Today I Learned moment and life goes on.

    …and then there’s whatever the fuck this idea is that should have never even left his mouth to begin with. It’s one thing to drop this granule of insight down on the bar while you’re sharing a beer with your pals after you’ve had one too many already. It’s another to hear it come from someone that once led the country and some people think is smart. Holy Jesus.
