I might be wrong. – Radiohead

So this is the way America ends. Not with a bang, or a whimper, but with the inability to make a donation.

Last week, Brendan Eich resigned after two weeks as Mozilla’s CEO. Turns out, six years earlier he’d made a $1,000 donation to support the anti-gay marriage Prop 8 in California. An online dating company noticed, and organized a campaign for his ouster.

It worked.

Eich’s rise and quick fall is not unlike the tale of Phil Robertson who, back in December, said what he said to GQ magazine. Half of America gasped, which caused A&E Networks to suspend him until the other half of America gasped louder. A&E then put Robertson back on the show, where he remains today, camouflaged as ever.
