We control the horizontal. We control the vertical.

Last night I watched a re-run of Thursday, Oct 23's "The Daily Show With John Stewart", on which the guest was Walter Isaacson discussing his book, Benjamin Franklin: An American Life.

I already think "The Daily Show" is one of the best shows on television. The quality of the actual news reportage is incredibly high, as is the quality of the interviews. What other show do you know whose recent guests include Michael Moore, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Rowan Atkinson?

Anyway, last night I had an epiphany. We, the geeks, are in charge and "The Daily Show" is our salon. It's not the Jews. It's not the Illuminati. It's not even Clear Channel. It's the geeks. Last night, for a brief second the mask slipped aside and we revealed our utter hegemony to the world. Last night, while discussing Benjamin Franklin on a basic-cableshow known for fake comedy news stories, Walter Isaacson without fanfare or explanation uttered the word "antinomian."

Damn, it feels good to be in charge.

I am raising my son to be part of the new elite. My goal is for his first word to be "Antidisestablishmentarianism." From there, it will be smooth sailing to total world domination.

The illuminati still have a finger hold on the diagonal (their masonic roots, you know) and the Jews have a sold lock on the color contrast knob. I don't think we'll ever shake them loose.
