11. Twitter doesn't really mean much.

Oh, it does to the talking heads who solemnly make points about what the 'twitterverse' is saying, but you know what? Not that many people really care. It's sort of like All-Star Wrestling. Fun, good to get in the ring and get rough, but in the end, life goes on and we forget about what was said there.

What was it Shakespeare said? Something about people strutting around on the stage of life, all sound and fury, signifying nothing? That's twitter. The Hill, too, to a degree. Lots of trolls on The Hill. But these people are all in their own bubbles.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
