Hillary Does GeekSpeak
June 1st, 2007 at 10:26 am by CrankyHillary is in Silicon Valley addressing the gods of technology and lets loose with jargon like this:
Hillary Clinton: “The country that split the atom can and will end our dependence on foreign oil and launch an energy revolution, calling it energy 2.0.”
For this speech, I’m betting she chose a nasally Woody Allen accent to relate to the peeps.
I think, however, she would have done better by consulting with Microsoft’s marketing team. Consider these gems:
Energy.NET
Energy ME
Energy 2003 – Codename Modesto
The Energy eSuite
e-NRGY
Energy for Workgroups
MSNRG
Visual Energy
ActiveXergy
MEP 2.0 (Mad Electron Production)
Bob
and finally,
E-Sharp!

For a bunch of brainy tech geeks, they sure can’t spell.
Of course with Hillary’s plan for edumacation, does it matter?

Maybe Hillary! can come here to Oak Ridge, TN and let our scientists in on this idea. What a revelation!

You should apply for her speechwriter position: I think all of your ideas showed more creativity than whoever came up with Energy 2.0.

My theory, Nigel is that being Silicon Valley and all, they outsourced their presentation to India. When they noticed it and called for tech support, it was 3am in Bangalore and they were SOL.

That is so funny, Cranky. That is almost the exact same theory I posited on another site (well, yes I admit I do occasionally visit other sites)…

Change of subject: whaddya all think about the lawyer with TB who was supposedly told by health professionals not to travel on a plane, even though he says he wasn’t forbidden to travel.

Joules, I think dad-in-law saw the 12 Monkeys movie and used the idiot son-in-law for the experiment.

I want to be compassionate but it’s hard not to think that Dad asked questions designed to get a casual answer and got a tape of an answer that would provide a defense for his son if he didn’t get away with going to Europe for his wedding.
