I was gonna do this, but someone beat me to it:
Honestly, this is the kind of dork I am: When Something Happens, the first thing I think is, What domain name could I register to take advantage of this? I was watching Keith Olbermann rag on Sarah Palin the other night, and it suddenly occurred to me to wonder whether someone had registered ThanksButNoThanks.com.
Of course, they had.
I know. I am a parasite and a leech. But so far I haven't actually done it -- that is, registering a domain name to take advantage of the Something that Happened -- so I maybe I'm only potentially a parasite and a leech.
Actually, I'm not a parasite and a leech. It's just my GenX cynicism coming to fore as a defense mechanism whenever my sanity is threatened by the unbelievable inanity of the world.
(What, is this site gone already? I'm getting a "thanks but no thanks" from Firefox, which "could not find the host server" for this domain.)
