Default the OSCARS!

By misquoted I can only guess you are
trying to slip out by my use of the word "invented".


If it were only you, I'd have less of a knee-jerk reaction; but like
the energy bill issue; the intentionally misquoted "invented the
internet" meme was deliberately spread far and wide by right-leaning
news sources and talking heads to the point that it's still being
repeated, what, six years later? You'd think (well, not really) that
some semblance of integrity would have surfaced in that time. But
no, it's too good a lie; and far more easily spread than the facts.


The fact is that he said he created the Internet. What I *think* he meant
was that he helped legislate a clear path to assist in its growth as a tool
for commerce. What I think or what you think he meant doesn't change the
fact.

.. . . and quit playing with Evil Ken. He's tweaking you pretty well. ;-)
