"The Koch brothers gave the money that founded it. It's like they put the seeds in the ground. Then the rainstorm comes, and the frogs come out of the mud--and they're our candidates!"...
That's quite possibly the worst simile I've ever read.
I use Greasemonkey with the Youtube Title Adder script. It appends the title of any youtube video to any link to youtube, thereby alerting you to the content of said link.
Granted, I use this more as a method to see what people are linking to as I can't reach youtube through the corporate firewall, but it works as a rickroll defense, too.
That's quite a delicacy to us level 5 dwar{f,ve}s, especially with ketchup. That'll sustain you through a whole night of supporting Linux users or mining.
You'd think that would work, but after every migration, the bird's got to run around and hunt for another p-wing before it can do another long distance flight.
The word you want is "lobbyist". Its root is the verb "to lobby", which lobbyists are known for doing, or the noun "lobby", where lobbyists are traditionally found. (It may also mean an adherent of Lobbyism, but only with the initial capital.)
The word "lobbiest", is the superlative form of the adjective "lobby", meaning "having qualities similar to a lob"; "lobbiest" would thus mean "most similar to a lob". It is thus an adjective, which modifies a noun, and thus should not be used as the object of a preposition or the definite article.
To sum up for you tl;dr kids with the attention span of a gnat, it's spelled lobbyist.
On an unrelated note, do any other Grammar Nazis have tips for invading Comma Splice Russia? I've been having a bit of trouble there.

Even better, they're a Beatles cover band made up of Muppets.
You are Freeman Dyson and I claim my five pounds.
No, I really think you have that wrong. Carl Sagan had the 7 words you can't say on TV.
I remember that act!
Billions, Billions, Billions, Billions, Billions, Billions, and Billions!
Hilarious.

Aussie leaders need to wake up and realize they are creating a police state.
They have, they do, and they like it just fine.
I think the direction you're looking for is either cheeseward or chalkward. I forget which is which, though.
Hence: I for one welcome our new Anti-Strange Hypernucleic cheesierlords/chalkierlords.

To be fair, they do have wonderful food reviews for the under-1 crowd on page 3.

Mmmmmm... breaded rats.

No, no. Harvard.
Purdue's got nothing to do with this project.
(nor does Pimento University, Alma Mater to those paragons of scholarly manhood, the Dover Boys.)

Where do the Vermicious Knids fit into this metaphor?
I thought the Internet was simultaneously the Information Superhighway and a truck;
a truck which drove on that same Information Superhighway.
We could do that, but then all our technology becomes wind-up. Especially the radios.
It's most assuredly better than arguing with a writing-desk. All mine wants to do is whine about people comparing it to a raven.
Curses! It's Captain Delicious!
