The current Weekend Wall Street Journal Sentiment Tracker (sorry, no graphic available) features this:
Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Engines
The online buzz about the possibility of driver Danica Patrick leaving IndyCar to do Nascar full time.
The numbers:
SHOULD GO TO NASCAR 29%
SHOULD STAY PUT 21%
JOKES 32%
COMMENTS ABOUT HER LOOKS 18%
That’s the Internet in a nutshell: 50% substance, 50% nonsense.
On a good day.
Since a maybe half of the “substance” on the internet is specially contrived to contain “interpretations” of manipulated facts, the percentages should be more like 25-75.
Pick pick pick, Mudge.
Accurate, too.
Sir, thank you for keeping me abreast of Danica’s goings-on.
(Sorry.)
Arafat – you gotta get out-of-doors more often.
