Are we the only ones who think that using Twitter to communicate between the public and the present Administration is an absolutely perfect metaphor for the last month and a half?

How many footnotes do you think the first Twitter generated policy document will have?

Ask your 15 yo granddaughter to teach you how to get off AOL and your dialup account so you can start Twittering. Heh. :-)
