Mr. Robot, it's my understanding that the President went golfing for the 24th time since he took office yesterday.  How did he fare?

  2. The Robot from Lost in Space will clearly be more ruthlessly efficient than Beaker–er, Gibbs. But, gee, those pincers look like they might hurt. Gibbsy, on the other hand, in his bumbling incompetence, always left the delightful impression that we could squish him like a big ol’ grape. Well, all things must pass…

  4. Robots wouldn’t stammer as much as Gibbs. They’d just shoot bolts of electricity at offending questioners.

    This post’s format is familiar; where have I seen that before? :-) The Glenn Greenwald sockpuppet one was a classic!

      • More than likely, they’d drive right off the podium and crash.

        It will be a real breakthrough in science when we can get a robot/computer-based unit to talk with a human in natural conversation. Of course, 10 minutes later someone will teach it to lie….

  5. Gibbs stammers like Jackie Gleason in the old “Honeymooners” TV show…

    You ask him a tough question and he start with the, “Hammanah, hammanah, hammanah…”
