Great post, Greg. Hope you don’t mind an extensive blockquote on my blog…

Oh, and the twitter remark is a terrible example. I’ve been blogging for years and am online for hours a day, and I have never used it, nor do I know anyone who does.

McBush would be another W in that his eyes would glaze over if you discussed any other subject other than sending our young soldiers into war.

Just another sign that McCain will be the perfect puppet for the corporate/goverment criminals who really run this national sheep farm.This brainwashed dupe,is a war profiteer’s wet dream,he will authenticate Bush’s phoney dumb dumb cowboy in a flightsuit role,while continuing a domestic policy designed to maintain corporate monopolies in energy,food,and healthcare markets(to name a few).His zeal for crushing labor,personel liberties,and political dessent,will benefit the militarized police,the greedy,corrupt,self-serving judiciary,the for profit prison system,and indeed,every upperlevel freeloading “public servant” in the country.Knowing that their fat salaries,pensions,and bribes,are safe from the citizens they rob,insures that the same overseerers who run Bush’s plantation,will gladly run McCains.Again I’am posting the link to the 1973 film “Hearts and Minds” . McCain has learned nothing,from history,or the vietnam war.

Okay, so how *does* Twitter apply to governing?

Just wondering.

That’s telegraph “key”, not telegraph “needle”. I agree with your post, but if you’re going to criticize others’ understanding of technology, it helps to avoid embarassing mistakes yourself.

See, when McCain doesn’t use the internet, it’s proof that he’s UNABLE TO GOVERN. When Obama has no military experience, it’s somehow NOT proof that he’s UNABLE TO BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF DURING A WAR.

I mean, jesus fuck dog, are things like social security, infrastructure, and energy policy just too boring for gossipy bloggers these days?

“John McCain is aware of the Internet,” says Soohoo. “This is a man who has a very long history of understanding on a range of issues.”

Your point that it’s not an issue is a good one. But all I could think after I read this was about McCain’s “understanding on the . . . issue” on which Lieberman had to set him straight in the middle of a public appearance–Sunnis, Shiites, al-Qaeda, whatever.

Where did I read about that? Oh, in one of your posts on This Modern World (http://thismodernworld.com/4238).
