Lazy blogging ‘cuz no links.
Some professor studied news pundits. Seems they are less accurate in their forecasts than chance. That is, they are almost never right.
That took an academic study?
Saw the word meretricious used yesterday describing CNBC (discussing Stewart’s classic takedown). It’s an awesome word and totally apt. It means (I had to look it up to be sure) “apparently attractive but having in reality no value or integrity.”
We live in a meretricious-filled society.
So far, among the few Twittering celebrities that I follow, John Mayer is the most interesting. Shaq likes to eat. Penn Jillette was 54 yesterday, but you knew that. Oh, and John McCain is meretricious.
Ken — I think you’ll be an awesome Twitterer. You’re good with the one liners, and, since you’re posts are usually a wealth of good information, you have a content-rich enviroment for for your tweets. For example, the above post could be broken into 3 or 4 tweets, and you could space them out during the day.
I know, too much effort required. . . .
Thanks Hugh. Tough way to do the birthdays, though.
Still, I’m very much thinking 15,000 posts is one too many (or maybe just enough).
