Just Because It Annoyed You, That Does Not Make It Criminal [View all]
We have seen one candidate reviled because she annoyed a staffer by demanding a fork for her salad. We have seen another reviled because he annoyed a politician by touching her shoulders and hair. What's next? A candidate knee-capped because he cut off someone in traffic (we all know how annoying that is)?
Thanks to twitter, every one of us can now be the center of the universe. All the (mostly imagined) slings and arrows that we have endured can be transformed into sweet, sweet revenge. But at what cost?
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
