A woman on the plane rolled her eyes at me and called me a “phone nazi” when I asked her to turn off her iPhone.
Because asking you to turn off your phone is totally comparable to invading several countries and murdering a few million people.

Reporter: I have a question to Robert and to Scarlett. Firstly to Robert, throughout Iron Man 1 and 2, Tony Stark started off as a very egotistical character but learns how to fight as a team. And so how did you approach this role, bearing in mind that kind of maturity as a human being when it comes to the Tony Stark character, and did you learn anything throughout the three movies that you made?
And to Scarlett, to get into shape for Black Widow did you have anything special to do in terms of the diet, like did you have to eat any specific food, or that sort of thing?
Scarlett: How come you get the really interesting existential question, and I get the like, “rabbit food” question?
The respect given to you if you’re a man in the entertainment business, and the respect given to you if you’re a woman in the entertainment business: all perfectly summed up in one idiotically thought out line of questioning.Kill All Reporters

Seriously, if our last president hadn’t been George W. Bush, and if the only electorally viable alternative to another term of the Obama administration weren’t whatever candidate emerges from the shit show going on in the Republican party right now, I think people would be a lot less impressed. Yes, President Obama managed to get some moderate healthcare reforms passed despite a very hostile Congressional climate and successfully pushed for the repeal of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, but he approved a four-year extension on Patriot Act measures, and the Guantánamo Bay detention center is still open. He also authorized the extrajudicial killing of an American-born fugitive in the Middle East and similarly had Osama bin Laden assassinated in his home. These people are scary folks for sure, but hunting down and killing people this way is pretty scary too. President Obama has failed to reverse the erosion of habeas corpus and due process in the US. And despite initially expressing support for a reform of the failed War on Drugs policies in regards to cannabis, he allowed federal raids on state-licensed medical cannabis dispensaries.
But, you know, at least he’s not Romney. And it looks like those are the only choices we have right now. Mitt Romney, who has lately promised to oppose same-sex marriage and reproductive health rights, who recently said on the campaign trail, “Corporations /are/ people, my friends,” and President Obama, who might have been able to pass himself off as a moderate Republican in the not-too-distant past.
President Obama is an improvement on recent administrations, but he is not going to singlehandedly ensure justice for disenfranchised Americans or anybody else.
