I mean, Obama's admitted to doing coke. Ten years ago, we couldn't even get Clinton to admit he inhaled. (I forget whether Bush admitted to all the drugs he did while he was an alcoholic Yalie.) For instance. I'm less worried about dirt & more worried about the flood-of-data, especially as regards cultural production.

My Mom just joined Facebook, which made me think: how many photos of me will there be on Facebook when I am my Mom's age? How many friends will I have? Good thing our capability to squeeze capacitors onto a chip is growing faster than out population... Actually, Roman, Obama IS on Twitter, or at least his GhostTweeters are.
