Can't Handle Netflix
Ezra Klein, the President's economy-apologist-in-chief at the WaPO, cannot quite handle the complexities of movies by mail:
My Horrible Relationship With NetflixMatt Yglesias has a quick post on the Netflix movies he rented this weekend. I don't. Because I've had the same three sitting in my drawer for almost two years now. That's literally hundreds of dollars I've donated to Netflix to help subsidize the fees of people who actually use the service. Meanwhile, one of the movies is cracked and I can't find the envelopes for the other two. So I continue my philanthropic donations to the Netflix Fund for the Needy. And every month, I loathe myself just a little bit more.
All pretty handleable at the website, Mister K. I've got my things I put off, too. But you could have fixed this faster than blogging it.

Dang. Whaddaya think will be next? A car czar who knows nothing about cars? A treasurer who doesn't pay his taxes? An attorney general who doesn't understand the law? A Supreme Court Justice who doesn't feel constrained to pay attention to the law?
Oh, wait. Nevermind.
Posted by: Keith at June 23, 2009 6:27 PMThere are insufficient profanities to preface "idiot" when describing this waste of DNA. Just when you thought Ezra Klein was only one of the stupidest people alive, he had to do this in an attempt to lock the top spot.
Keith, you forgot: a CIA head who's just a PR spokesman, not someone actually capable of directing intelligence.

Can we all agree that the words "Czar" and "Idiot" have become synonyms?
