Quote of the Day

When I was young there were beatniks. Hippies. Punks. Gangsters. Now you're a hacktivist. Which I would probably be if I was 20. Shuttin' down MasterCard. But there's no look to that lifestyle! Besides just wearing a bad outfit with bad posture. Has WikiLeaks caused a look? No! I'm mad about that. If your kid comes out of the bedroom and says he just shut down the government, it seems to me he should at least have an outfit for that. Get a look! I'm not judging what they do; I hope they don't shut me down.
—John Waters in the Wall Street Journal in 2012

Baltimore has given us Old Bay Seasoning and John Waters, which makes it the greatest city in history.

BTW, this is the most epic example of an older guy extolling the virtues of young activists while criticizing their fashion sense that I have ever seen.
