1. I apologize in advance, but I think this quote makes him look elitist. |

I understand that he needs his personal aide. He is not the average person and has way too many things to do. That part is obvious. It is just that, for some reason, this sentence does not feel right (though I would expect there was a before and an after this quote and it probably did not sound that bad).

3. It's funny because it's also a double sided quip |
|
He's saying he has a personal aid all the time, but he's also saying he isn't allowed as the most powerful man in the world to have an iPad. There's humor in the irony of it.

4. The crass lexicon of those who gained position late in life |
|
speaking of 'the help' as if they were owned objects is really, really uncool. Chattle based hijinx!

10. Anyone who needs an example for why the left can't be taken seriously these days |
|
Need only read Bluenorthwest's post here.
To reach this interpretation from this story requires astounding feats of numbskullery.

8. Well, since my project for the month has been organizing my music |
|
including archiving lossless versions and downloading ipod versions, all I can say is I WANT A REGGIE! I can not even count the hours, but I know that I have spent several days working nearly all night since I get sort of obsessed! Then work is hell the next day. I have a feeling when I finish (for now) I am going to need a psychiatrist to deal with my OCD. ;)

17. In olden times, a man's P.A. was called a 'valet'. |
|
And taking the way back machine to the Renaissance, a squire.
