If you’re doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide from the giant surveillance apparatus the U.S. government’s been hiding. - Stephen Colbert

I also enjoyed, from John Oliver standing in on the Daily Show (paraphrasing):
"We're not saying you did anything illegal, Mr. President. We're just saying, it's a little weird that you didn't have to."

The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it. - Francis Bacon
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers
A world that can be explained even with bad reasons is a familiar world. But, on the other hand, in a universe suddenly divested of illusions and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land. This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity. — Albert Camus
"...the pious hope that by combining numerous little turds of variously tainted data, one can obtain a valuable result; but in fact, the outcome is merely a larger than average pile of shit." - Barash, David 1995...
"Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends." - Gandalf, J. R. R. Tolkien: The Lord Of the Rings

A travelling salesman stopped at a farm and as he was chatting with the farmer, a pig drove a tractor into the yard pulling a cultivator. As the salesman watched, the pig unhitched the cultivator and drove the tractor into the shed, then came out and went into the house.
"That's quite a pig," the salesman commented.
"Yep," the farmer agreed, "He does most of the field work, he repairs all of the equipment and he does the books too."
"Amazing." The salesman shook his head. "I couldn't help but notice that he has a wooden leg."
"Yep," the farmer nodded. "When you have a good pig like that, you don't want to eat him all at once."

Carpooling
A group of [insert ethnic stereotype here] decided to spend the evening celebrating, so they piled into the car and headed for town. As they approached civilization, they noticed a sign that said, "Maximum 30," so they pulled over and ten of them got out.

Re: Carpooling
More like how I felt when I got a call from a rugby buddy saying he and a few friends were in town.

Yes, it is. But since it's not masturbating then it's OK.

Overheard in the clinic
So, I was donating plasma today and one of the nurses is, I believe, Indian (the kind from India, no offense). Their wireless internet was not working and one of the other nurses came over and informed her that it would be turned back on soon. Her response? "It looks like the prayers to my elephant god worked". I was baffled. I don't know much about Hinduism, but it struck me as being very much like someone saying "looks like the prayers to my bearded sky daddy worked". I thought it was funny as hell because ALL of her co-workers are caucasian.
Racist? Religious intolerance? Take your pick. I'm sure on some level I am an ass for laughing or she is an ass for saying it. Either way, fuck that was funny.

"Science is interesting, and if you don't agree you can fuck off." -Dawkins
