Certainly some of the comments expand on that by attributing all manner of atrocities to me,

Like W after 2004, and fully intend to use this new capital accumulated by my just-annointed bully-mandate to tell him (and the interviewees) off as being sore losers who can’t [...]
As promised, as the election is over, I will get back to blogging non-political things.
And hey, I haven’t posted a continuation of my web frameworks presentation yet!

It’s weird how worlds intersect. Here is some lobbycon dialog:
“I don’t know, but if you plot the points, there aren’t many intersections. I’ve noticed it on my Facebook: The Open Source world has different geeks, and then the Web 2.0 world is mixed up. Priorities are f’d—people like X, who are big in the Web [...]
In condensed matter physics, there is an area called turbulence that has wide practical application: weather, golfing, navigation, bridges, building subs, boats, and planes.
