The tweet used as the source is a troll. That guy uses the "I just got off the phone with..." template all the time to joke/troll about things going on in markets.


Ah, what a world.


This tutorial was my first exposure to Ruby and Rails. It is amazingly comprehensive and comprehendible for newbies. I'm so glad to see it being regularly updated.

Thanks Michael for you contribution!


I changed my registration to vote for Paul. I have yet to be disappointed with my decision.


Just to help clarify, this article about Rand Paul, the son of Presidential Candidate (and House Member) Ron Paul.

If you changed your registration, you presumably did it so you could vote in a Primary; That's where Ron is running for president. Rand won the general election in Kentucky.

If you did, in fact mean, that you live in Kentucky, and changed your registration to Republican, to vote for Rand in the Kentucky Republican Senate Primary, back in May 2010, I apologize; People tend to get confused between the Father/Son Duo sometimes.


I did, in fact, change my registration to vote in the KY Senate primary. But you are not off in pointing out the confusion often seen in discussing Rand and Ron.


Cool. I figured that was possible, but I've seen a number of people get confused, so I wanted to make sure.

It's also easy to mis-read while skimming. ;)


I thought Ron was also against SOPA/PIPA ...


Ron is also against SOPA, which is the house bill, which he is able to vote on.

Rand is able to filibuster PIPA, the senate bill, where he is a member.
