One of my geek heroes and favorite political bloggers, Atrios yesterday invoked the spirit of Zork, etc., to smack down Senator Joe Lieberman and his bizarre theocrat-theories:
>>Ask voice "What happened?""What happened?"
The voice responds "I am sorry to inform you that you were raped and severely beaten. My name is Dr. Lieberman."
>> Ask Dr. Lieberman "Did I receive emergency contraception?"
Dr. Lieberman responds "This hospital does not provide that because of principled reasons. As long as you do something for what you call "principled reasons" you can do anything you want. Fortunately, you live in Connecticut so another hospital is probably a short ride away. I assume, anyway. Ta-ta.
It goes on and on. Funny stuff, and pointed, too. And as someone noted in the comments to that post:
Guess it separates the geeks from the, well, whatever other brands of folks there are, because it didn't even occur to me that anyone wouldn't get it.
The geek ethos continues to spread...
