...The One-Minute Pundit

The catch-phrase maker of the con-SER-va-tive movement coins a few words that won't make SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGERS happy:

TAS: What do you think of the Internet?

Tom Wolfe: The Internet is the modern form of knitting. In the old days women who had nothing to do would knit, but at least you got something out of it -- a pair of socks, maybe a scarf, occasionally a little bedspread. That's mostly what the Internet is, just passing the time. But unfortunately you are dealing with words that can have meaning.

See that? The genius is calling you idle gossips! And we must take it as definitive from a man who's devised a few convoluted bedspreads in his time.
