"Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few."

I love demotivators. This is from a new one that I can't help but think applies to us.

Sean Tevis, a follow up.

Last week I posted about Sean Tevis, the Kansas information architect and pseudo web celeb was again running for political office.

We at the BB+B are all originally from the ... ah sort of great ... I guess... state of Kansas and fully support what Sean Tevis is doing. He is a normal guy, trying to make government less douchetastic (Yes, I said douchetastic, if Colbert can make up cool words, so can I). Instead of relying on lobbyists and corporate funding to fuel his campaign, Tevis uses small donations he gets from the internet.

A friend over at Bloggasm recently interviewed Sean Tevis, check it out.
