Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) on e-voting:
Now don’t get me wrong – there’s a 100% chance that the voting machines will get hacked and all future elections will be rigged. But that doesn’t mean we’ll get a worse government. It probably means that the choice of the next American president will be taken out of the hands of deep-pocket, autofellating, corporate shitbags and put it into the hands of some teenager in Finland. How is that not an improvement?Statistically speaking, any hacker who is skilled enough to rig the elections will also be smart enough to select politicians that believe in . . . oh, let’s say for example, science. Compare that to the current method where big money interests buy political ads that confuse snake-dancing simpletons until they vote for the guy who scares them the least. Then during the period between the election and the impending Rapture, that traditionally elected President will get busy protecting the lives of stem cells while finding creative ways to blow the living crap out on anything that has the audacity to grow up and turn brownish.

haha. that's hilarious. i always hear people making fun of Scott Adams, but i always liked his comics. and the Dilbert show was fun too. I've never worked in an office, but I hear his office humour is dead-on. But really, Dogbert is a good enough reason to like it. He reminds me of Brian from Family Guy, except a little cuter, not an alcoholic, and with a megolomania complex.
Adams is a damn smart guy, though. Another comics writer/artist that has some pretty awesome quotes is Art Spiegelman. Brilliant dude.
