Responding to an article about a computer virus infecting ground-based control systems for Predator and Reaper drone aircraft: "The big problem is that the drones keep ordering refueling boom enlargement kits, and four of them tried to fly to Nigeria to collect on a half-million gallons of jet fuel that was left there by a former Minister of Aviation." -- cirby, 2011-10-07


"They said if I go back in there, I'll be arrested," McDaniel said. "I'm not a vagrant. My father wasn't a vagrant. If he was a vagrant, they wouldn't have named this park after him. He didn't raise no vagrants. He raised men. He raised me to stand up for what I believe, because he stood up for what he believed." -- Bo Diddley Jr. (Ellas Anthony McDaniel), after being arrested for protesting in Bo Diddley Park (and for bonus irony, though probably intentional, the protesters stood on a platform engraved with the words "Freedom of Speech" and "Freedom of Assembly", near a plaque engraved with the Bill of Rights) in Gainesville, Florida, 2011-10-13 (via Charlie Grapski at Daily Kos, in turn quoting from the Gainesville Sun)
