  • “Mint was a key leader of the next gen­er­a­tion of game chang­ers. And now it’s prop­erty of Intuit — the poster-child for the last gen­er­a­tion. What a loss. Is that the best the next gen­er­a­tion can do? Become part of the old gen­er­a­tion? How about kick­ing the shit out of the old guys? What ever hap­pened to that?”
  • “But of course, it’s really the hypocrisy here that is note­wor­thy. Just ear­lier today, Dar­rell Issa, a Repub­li­can from Cal­i­for­nia and one of the lead­ers in call­ing for an inves­ti­ga­tion into the Obama Administration’s use of “czars”, had to admit to Fox News that he had never raised any objec­tions to the Bush Administration’s use of “czars”. Many of these mem­bers who now decry the prac­tice have called on Pres­i­dents in the past to appoint “czars” to coor­di­nate activ­i­ties within the gov­ern­ment to address imme­di­ate chal­lenges. What is clear is that all of this energy going into these attacks could be used to have a con­struc­tive con­ver­sa­tion about bring­ing this coun­try together to address our chal­lenges mov­ing for­ward – and it doesn’t take a “czar” to bring that about! Just some folks will­ing to act in good faith.” The White House called out Glenn Beck and other con­ser­v­a­tive politi­cians and commentators.
