Eric Holder...
 
...is supposedly resigning from his position as U.S. Attorney General later today.

Comments?

They didn't say what he will be doing. Also this has been in the works for a while.

NPR cites Solicitor General Don Verrilli as a potential Holder successor.
I didn't know the government hookers had a general. :cool:

Yeah, ol' Ernie ain't a big fan.

xoxoxoBruce 09-26-2014 10:02 PM

Ernie is also an asshole.

Who designed Ernie's website...1998?

Clodfobble 09-27-2014 06:43 AM

In 1998 I stood in the ramshackle office space of a friend who had just started a webpage design business. It was called WWWebservers, which we mockingly pronounced with all the Ws. He excitedly showed off two of his favorite new tools, Google ("you can literally search for 'shit,' and a thousand pages about shit will come up," ) and Photoshop ("like Paint, but on steroids." )

A thousand pages, indeed. 1998 was a good year.

Clodfobble 09-27-2014 06:46 AM

Actually, shit, that might have been 1997. I can't remember when my friend broke up with the guy who connected us to those friends. Now I feel old.

The beginning of the web was an exciting time. In 97 we took a trip to NZ and on all previous trips we would get a copy of Let's Go to do the planning, but for this trip I was actually able to make reservations for a highly restricted multi-day hike on the other side of the planet simply by clicking the mouse a few times and hitting some keys.

classicman 09-27-2014 08:11 AM

Glad he is gone. Not hopeful for a competent replacement.

DanaC 09-27-2014 08:14 AM

So - wuold someone explain to the non-merkin what the deal was with this bloke?

I've heardhisname, but I don't know much about him :P

classicman 09-27-2014 08:35 AM

Srriuosly partisan issue and person. Hes the one that should have led the investigations into things like fast and furious etc. To some it seems he simply stonewalled and covered for this administration instead of searching for truth. To others, he was great. Flip a coin.

DanaC 09-27-2014 08:37 AM

Ahhh. Gotcha, thanks :)

He can be. He admits as much.

Heh, iirc, that was the result of an informal fan survey. He had redesigned a few times, and was about to again, and asked what his readers preferred out of 2-3 versions, one being the original-ish style. There used to be two stick figure guys double-teaming a stick figure ladaay at the top of the page. So...:right:

xoxoxoBruce 09-28-2014 11:03 AM

It's changed a lot since he was in MA. After moving to FL he got more assholy, must be the water.

What was the third choice that his fanbase rejected? Pictures of steaming piles of poo?

It looks so myspacey. It hurts my eyes. It's really awful. Yes, I know the solution and no, I won't be revisiting Ernie's House of MegaLinks any time soon. ;)


Also, admitting to being an asshole doesn't automatically absolve someone for being an asshole...so :right:

Gravdigr 09-28-2014 02:52 PM

JFC.

Gravdigr 09-28-2014 02:53 PM

Maybe he'll see this and change the site for Infi, and his way of living for Bruce.

Me, I'll laugh at the funny shit, and then go about my day.

infinite monkey 09-28-2014 03:57 PM

omg...it's just a joke! You have a great sense of humor.

Don't be sensitive on behalf of people you don't know. Whatever you do, don't dis Johnny Depp or I'll drive to KY and kick your ass.

C'mon man, you know i luvz ya! :)

Pamela 09-28-2014 04:37 PM

I don't know enough about British politics to try to find an analog.

Read this article to get an idea.
