I’ve set my twitter account up to the point where it now functions as my primary source of news, and so it’s now worth sharing with you.  Check out all of the articles linked to – I promise they’re worth your wasted time.   If you’re on twitter, be sure you’re following at least some of the people mentioned below (and, better yet, follow me, so we can chat and trade notes!).

The tweet I sent to Nicholas Kristoff was in response to a tweet he sent out about the FBI bungling the Times Square investigation.  I was prompted to write it because of the excellent Atlantic Monthly article I linked to which details how, a few years ago, Kristoff used his Op-Ed space in the New York times to falsely accuse a man of being the Anthrax Letter terrorist.

Consider this my easy answer to writing a column today.
