? One hour and he will do most of the talking no doubt….
Actually he will be texting …. or is it him?
Perhaps he’s going to get another bird brain to twitter for him.
Twitter is for the birds.

Nice.. use social media as an out not to speak in person!
“social media”
So tell me, what media is not a social media?
And …… what is so social about the social media?
I mean, what is the difference between letters being written among two or more friends and the social media. Or how about telephones …. cell phones …. graffiti … a party ….
I mean are those anti-social media?
Who was it that said “the medium is the message?” …… (a rhetorical question meant to ellicit thinking about exactly what “media” is)
texting is talking quietly with your fingers……..The point is one hour for the thousands of people this issue effects.
Gus – Actually he will be texting …. or is it him?
I thought you did not believe in conspiracies…..;)
Twitter? How utterly tacky (and foolish). Ya got something to say say it on The boob tube.
Twitter? Only for t-w-i-t-s.
Not sure how someone doing the texting for you as a ghost writer relates to a conspiracy.
Think about it. When someone gives a speech, the higher up one goes in the hierarchy, the most likely it is that the person has one or more speech writers. That is perfectly acceptable.
It is also perfectly acceptable to have pieces of paper handed to you when sitting in the legislative assembly, or even have someone whisper in your ear.
So why would it not be acceptable for someone to stand by to help you tweet, to be a tweeter yourself to load the conversation, to do the same on facebook, etc.
I am waiting for the day that will come out with someone and see what sort of commotion there will be about that.
I mean, I have a whole army of ghostwriters for my posts on here …… ;-)
Time to get a bit “streetwise” about these things …..
funny
“Perhaps he’s going to get another bird brain to twitter for him.”
Maybe a falcon?

Abbot’s just a twit
