A reader prods:

Don't you owe Ashton Kutcher an apology for this post you made back in May. Now I'm no fan of that douche, but it seems like he may have been right what with the current situation in Iran and whatnot.


Goddamn it I do. Here's what I posted as a poseur alert:

"Years from now, when historians reflect on the time we are currently living in, the names Biz Stone and Evan Williams will be referenced side by side with the likes of Samuel Morse, Alexander Graham Bell, Guglielmo Marconi, Philo Farnsworth, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs because the creation of Twitter by Stone, 35, Williams, 37, and Jack Dorsey, 32, is as significant and paradigm-shifting as the invention of Morse code, the telephone, radio, television or the personal computer," - Ashton Kutcher, Time.


Suck it up, Sully. Suck it up.
