Why is this page taking so long to load? Bush Edition

Judged solely on the hilarity of his photos, Bush is the greatest president of all time. Considering other facets he doesn't fare quite as well, of course. But today I'd just like to take a moment to appreciate this man's long and storied romance with the camera.

A Photo Narrative:

DFW and Patton

Don't you love it when your favorite people are mentioned in a similar vein or -better yet- by one another? Finding out Dave Eggers likes Sufjan Stevens, that David Simon likes Chomsky, that Hume liked Rousseau (for awhile) etc. Well one of my favorite comedians, Patton Oswalt mentioned David Foster Wallace and how DFW changed him with his 2005 commencement speech (which Patton recently read.) Here's the original DFW commencement address (well worth reading) and here are Patton Oswalt's thoughts, along with his own differently awesome commencement speech.

A Gif post

GIF files (which are officially pronounced "jiff" but are pronounced by every normal person as having a hard "g" sound) are like perfect youtube clips for people with really short attention spans. In other words they're the way of the future.

This one is mindblowing.
