A Crooked Tweet Sampler

If you’re not following me on twitter, here are some crooked tweets you may have missed:

It is easy to make something sound true. The hard part is making it true. Most of us stop half way.

We can get others to do almost anything if we treat them like mindless robots. But, in the end, mindless robots make for poor company.

I suspect most people are too damn sure of themselves. In fact, I’d bet my life on it.

How to tell if a policy works: if it exists, it works. Maybe not like we think it does, but it is getting someone rich, re-elected, or both.

What if we all really did get along? Who or what would we hate then? There’s got to be a devil out there somewhere. Don’t kid yourself.

Public concern for any issue has a half-life of about a week. This used to bother me. But today? Not so much.

P.S. I’m even doing a little political commentary on twitter. Here’s one:

In 20 years Obama never figured out his own pastor but in just 3 years as a US Senator he’s figured out how to run a country? I’m convinced.

Aren’t you?
