In a disaster of any scale or severity, it is of utmost importance that everyone remotely involved with coordinating response be fluent in morse code- as this unavoidably will be the only method of communication available.

I recently edited a cartoon I found online relating to high gas prices. At the time, it was still under 4 dollars. Those were the days huh? I fixed the captions to better reflect what I think the problems might be.

Ron Paul did not win in the real world, but he owned the digital world. The Distant Runner up was Barak Obama. John McCain tapped in just above Tommy Thompson (who is Jabba the Hutt’s cousin by the way), but just below Rick Astley.

So, if you were to hire someone for your staff to wow the online world, and you’re a Republican- you probably want to hire someone related to the Paul campaign. Well, they didn’t. They hired Michael Goldfarb, who said the following about Ron Paul supporters in March. “Let me just say to Ron Paul supporters everywhere, and on behalf of the New Right…get lost.” For those of you who missed it, that was John McCain’s Deputy Communications director telling the most digitally influential people in political history to get lost. This from a campaign who, by the Candidate’s Decree, will not attack the nominee of the Democrat Ticket.
