The 9 types of Facebook friends
which the Chron ran last Sunday, today they ran
Other classic, and annoying, Facebook types
e.g.
Probably the two most annoying types of FB friends I’d add to the list: “The Infected” – seems to exist on Facebook to propagate memes (make lists and tag others) and share their quiz results. “The Activist” – almost every day they invite you to join a new cause, sign a petition, or send you a “lil green patch” request. They occasionally inspire the urge to explain why you don’t believe in a cause or how you feel their demands are a bit unrealistic, which you refrain from indulging.

We have, for the first time in just about forever, an enormously ambitious, confident, risk-taking president so full of grand and even borderline radical ideas they barely fit into a single generation, much less a single speech, and we have him at a time when we need, well, someone exactly like that.
That he just so happens to be tremendously intelligent, progressive, serene as an oak tree and utterly magnetizing? I guess you just call that a bonus.
