Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon, are boring.
Ron Conway's tweets about the CIA are not really interesting.
Ron Conway's actions to deliver funding, connect people, and general effect on the Silicon Valley startup atmosphere are very, very interesting.
Obligatory disclaimer: I strongly support the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and am shocked! Shocked I say! -- that Obama has not yet closed Guantanamo Bay after this many years in office.
"Interestingly, it was just several weeks ago that Feinstein was the one expressing her distaste for one of Conway’s projects. He’s a big backer of AirBnB, and Feinstein penned an opinion piece in The Chronicle urging Lee to veto the Board of Supervisors’ legislation allowing short-term rentals in private homes. Lee sided with Conway and AirBnB."
My post did "add to the conversation" --
it was the rest of the irony of the
statement I responded to and its
suggestion about the OP.
It's not a "random" reference, to
pop-culture or otherwise;
instead it's a famous statement
about public posturing and image and
now solidly part of US culture
and, thus, fully relevant to the OP.
If you want something that at first
glance looks more serious, read my
