So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or be lost... All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.","author":"H.L.

To convert all of our movies, home videos, theaters, photographs and television to digital would be like telling a painter to throw away his brushes and canvas for an I-Pad. Celluloid isn't just nostalgic, it's an art form and, like it or not, it's superior to digital. It lasts much longer, it provides grain and brighter colors, and it takes more effort so that it produces something wonderful. With the inferior binary codes, pixels and untested shelf-life of digital files, plus the fact that these days anyone with a digital camera, even a two-year-old, can make a video and pollute the world with self-photography and cat pictures, film has a lot more integrity and worth than digital.","author":"Rebecca McNutt","tags":["art","artist","camera","canon","canvas","depressing","digital","film","filmmaking","future","hd","history","home-movies","idiot","ipad","justice","kodak","kodak-moment","lazy","memories","moron","movie","nikon","nostalgia","paint","photo","photography","scary","super-8","truth"],"id":105570,"author_id":"Rebecca+McNutt"},{"text":"Let us proceed under the assumption that the fairy folk do exist, and that I am not a gibbering moron.","author":"Eoin Colfer","tags":["existence","fairy","moron"],"id":110240,"author_id":"Eoin+Colfer"},{"text":"When you cut pieces out of the truth to avoid looking like a fool, you end up sounding like a moron instead.","author":"Robin Hobb","tags":["appear","dissemble","fool","hide","lie","moron","reveal","truth"],"id":118393,"author_id":"Robin+Hobb"},{"text":"I think anyone who is famous is a moron if they're on Twitter.
