    In reply to Sarah Palin Mocked On LinkedIn
    Sarah Palin knows jack shit about online social networking because Sarah Palin knows jack shit about anything. She is used to ignorant people respecting her because she has managed to approximate the appearance of expertise and intelligence just enough to trick uninformed paranoiacs from small towns. Last year she was all about energy policy. Earlier this year, she did the whole health insurance thing.

    Like with all good attention whores, if you want to know what she'll do next, just follow the media buzzwords and you'll find her. Right now, 'online presence' and 'social networking' are big. Next year, if Gawker gets big enough for marketers in podunk towns to talk up to their clients, Palin will sign up to become a commenter. #sarahpalin

    Sometimes I trick myself into thinking for a moment that she's an Andy Kaufman-style performance artist, then I sober up and realize she's real, and worse than that, she has a posse of lipsticked pitbulls behind her. #sarahpalin

    That profile doesn't exist. Are you sure that is was official? If there is already one fake profile, why couldn't there be two. Even if it was, who really gives a fuck.

    It's one thing to report on balloon boy, which involved a real balloon flying over Colorado. It's another to report on stupid internet bullshit. #sarahpalin

    The LinkedIn snub is a definite need for every social network. Dodgeball used to have it; they called it the ex-girlfriend feature. Foursquare has half of the same capability: you can add a friend but not get their updates.

    LinkedIN: Don't link unless you trust them to see your network. I just archive requests, and let them fester in the ether-dark.

    So, is the kid's full name Georgica Sawn Pond Rose Petal Qi Xin Popcorn? Because that one last name is just the final insult.


    Also, is Faith Popcorn more of a country singer name, a clown name or a hobo name? I can't decide.

    And are you willing to do all of this demeaning, soul-sucking crap for a mere $16.60 an hour*? If so, put on your hairshirt and come on down!


    *This is the high end, based on 3,000 hours a year at $50,000. You'll probably start at the low end.

    I knew of a "futurist" once. Jeanne Dixon. She retrospectively reported grand and astonishing predictions. However, when she tried her hand in real time, not so much. She drastically missed 'em all, and ended up writing one of those silly astrology columns. There's probably some term for a has-been futurist.

    @Tremonius:

    I'm so happy that someone else remembers that!

    I remember when she went on Phil Donahue's show in Chicago back in the early 70s & past posted a prediction as to who Nixon was going to appoint to run the then Dept. of HEW.

    Except it had been printed in newspapers the day before!

    @Greasy Thumb Guzik: It was a simpler time, back then, with trust risen up above the gullibility line. All of her predictions were like, her waking up, anxious, calling a butler or friend; "Tell Roosevelt we should guard the ships in Hawaii!"


    She would tell us this in the seventies, about 1941. So it went. She was the most famous hindsight prognosticator of her era.
