Where were you when I was trying to find a Bank of America ATM? Besides, you can’t draw conclusions from just one person.

> [@Sunspace](#): > > I wonder whether Barack Obama would make a good Doper. If he has time, that is… Oooh yeah, he would be a natural. The Dope is all about talking, and there is never a resolution to a single issue. He’s got the experience for it. ---

> [@Oakminster](#): > > I think **Czarcasm** could outsnark Coulter without breaking a sweat…😃 Yeah, like she’d last three posts without getting warned or sent to The BBQ Pit. Give me an _intelligent_ conservative that knows the difference between snark and spittle, like Jerry Doyle. That dude could add a lot to this board, as much as I disagree with a lot of his views. ---

(and to watch the usual suspects’ heads explode). Bah. Try _Kissinger_—don’t settle for a Piccolo Pete when you can get a Grand Slam. Anyways…webcomic writer and artist [Shaenon Garrity](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaenon_K._Garrity) would be a blast to have around, and a real boon to the CS community. Gerald Bull might be kinda neat, but he’s really probably not much of a conversationalist. And he’s dead. ---
