“drone strikes, NSA spying, or any of Obama’s other crimes.”-Drone strikes aren’t inherently illegal. If conducted in other countries, they ARE acts of war and Pakistan might decide to use a nuke on us, but not illegal as long as Congress authorizes and is done outside the USA.-NSA spying is forbidden unless a judge signs off on it. It turns out judges are available to sign off on anything. Again not a crime, since authorized by judge.-(C’mon NSA, I love you man, no drone strikes on me, please. HE was the one griping. Oh well, errors happen.)

“Never in the field of mass communication has so much been said by so many to so few.” This was supposed to refer to blogging but it might just as well apply to cyberspace in general, including tweeting.

Irrelevant tweeting is relevant in our society. That’s a pretty messed up thought!

Just shows how pointless Twitter is.
the old professor over 11 years ago
Twitter is pointless if people only use it to talk about themselves. If used as an information source, the way many adults use it, it’s great. I “follow” things like the Smithsonian, the National Archives, the Museum of Modern Art, DesignCo, Rupert Murdoch (just to keep an eye on the old rogue), the Guardian, etc. etc. I never use it to fill cyberspace with narcissistic ramblings, just to receive interesting links from interesting people and institutions. Give it a try – used intelligently it’s an excellent resource.

No, he couldn’t be Dan Rather in disguise, not even close.

In our wonderful free country, GT gets to choose his content so if you are looking for something different feel free to go hang out somewhere else.

Actually, one says “the media are” not “the media is” and factually, you would do better to read tthe news day bv day to know that the Republicans want to undo the law and are willing to bring the country to a halt to accomlish that.

Hey, Delaware is a small state; why ought it to have more than one VA hospital. If you—IDIOT—don’t live in Delaware perhaps you ought to make your “here” a tad more specific.
