Quick quiz:
What do Marcus Fenix, Bender, and Steve Ballmer from TNT’s 1999 TV Movie *Pirates of Silicon Valley* all have in common?
You may think to answer “*They are all fictional characters!*” – but you would be wrong. Steve Ballmer actually exists, despite popular belief that he is just a cartoon character.
Your answer might be “*They all have six letter names!*” – but you would not only be wrong, but also unable to count.
You may be so clever as to answer “*You put them all in the same image!*” This is very true. But this is only for illustrative purposes, and should not be taken as something they have in common. Still, two points for effort.

Andrew Sullivan on why he’s voting for Barack Obama:
But there is something about his rise that is also supremely American, a reminder of why so many of us love this country so passionately and are filled with such grief at what has been done to it and in its name. I endorse Barack Obama because I will not give up on America, because I believe in America, and in her constitution and decency and character and strength.
