Polentical is dipping its very small toe into the Twitterverse, for those who would prefer to be notified of new posts that way. Be the first to sign up! Or fifth. Four people started following in the three days between opening the account and writing this post. I have no idea how or why they found us on Twitter, but such are the mysteries of the interwebs. We’re @polentical, of course.
And here are four recent missives I found while exploring the Land of Twitter. There are some jewels lurking amongst the pebbles…
1. Melissa Harris-Perry reminds us of the political reality behind the Rush Limbaugh / Bill Maher brouhaha:
Difference bet. Limbaugh & Maher is *not* that one is sexist & the other isn't. The difference is that only would strip women's basic rights—

2. While Media Matters has more on Rush Limbaugh’s historical difficulties with the truth.

3. John Avarosis of AMERICABlog suggests that perhaps the New York Times would be on better financial footing if it focused on journalism:
How many reporters could that have supported? RT @Reuters: New York Times paid former CEO $24 million

4. And the Republican Fox News Network shows that they understand how chicks think.

About Matthew
Funny timing – I was also thinking about linking up a Twitter account with my blog. I’m not sure who’d notice it, but I’ll probably set one up anyway sometime soon. I’ll follow ya when I do!
It’s easy enough, right? Free, and once you set it to publish your posts, there’s no actual need to spend more time on it. I’m curious to see what it’s like and whether I wind up connecting with people over there as well. See you there someday!
