Slashdot Jumps the Shark (Politically)

If you ever had any doubt that Slashdot readers were totally clueless about anything not related to technology, check out their answers to the question: "What would you do if you were elected President of the United States?"

Slashdot - What Would You Do As President?

I thought that I had read some silly, extremist, malformed political opinions before (from both sides of the political spectrum), but I was wrong (until now). It almost made me feel better about the sorry crop of candidates running for president this time - at their worst, they are all smarter and more capable than most of these guys. Unfortunately, people like this vote...

Although, "Two interns at the same time" was pretty funny (a nod to Office Space).

UPDATE: Maybe I jumped the gun on the jumped the shark comment. Once people who actually spent a few minutes thinking started posting and Slashdot's moderation system kicked in, the discourse became a bit more sane...
