Making good Mondays is like making coffee -


The week is before us - like the coffee pot - waiting to brew. Making it good is a matter of choice, luck, creativity, patience and acceptance of the outcome.

Little Gems From Some Of My Favorite Tweeters

Many of us love Twitter.  We have all those we follow and we have our favorites, too.  I've collected some to share:
Jane Hamsher - Exxon generates $10.3 billion in pretax income, owes no taxes & gets tax benefit of $1.1 billion http://bit.ly/afzGsW, posted on 4/6/10.

John Dickerson - When a method for passing legislation sounds like the funds transfer process outlined in an email by a Nigerian banker, that's tricky, posted on 3/16/10.  Also, Palin referred to a list on her palm during an interview. Big deal. Helps explain why she said "The country needs butter, eggs, milk & o.j.," posted on 2/8/10.

Chris Hayes - Operating on the theory that if I ingest enough calories it will stop snowing. We'll see!, posted on 2/10/10. Also, I've been remiss in updating my archives, but thanks to @northlauren, everything I've written can now be found here: http://bit.ly/7k2xa8, posted on 1/21/10.

Catherine Fintor - A computer is almost human - except that it does not blame its mistakes on another computer, posted on 1/19/10.

Ezra Klein - I've routinely found that the worst analytical mistake you can make in DC is assuming people have some sort of plan. http://bit.ly/7jrQKY, posted on 1/12/10.

Richard Engle - "on embed.. in remote frontline afghanistan.. few roads.. but internet seems to work.. very odd feeling," posted on 2/2/10.  Also, "un-stuck off base.. its good.. funny.. was on the road yesterday dexter describes in nytimes today..," posted on 2/8/10.
