All Pundits are Morons! Ignore Them!

[MineralMan]

Except those, of course, who agree with me. So, listen closely to those. They are the only pundits you need. The other pundits are not the pundits you are looking for. You are getting very sleepy. Watch my eyes. Don't look away. You are growing weary....

Listen closely to what I say...

[Joey Joe Joe]

1. Who does the pundits work for? The corporate citzen or the natural citizen?

I'll leave that for you to decide...

[MineralMan]

2. Look deeply into my eyes, I tell you...

You are growing weary...your eyelids are getting heavy...listen closely to my words...pundits is the plural form of pundit...they doesn't work for whom you think they works for...

Ignore all pundits but those on the list I give you. All others are wrong...

[whatchamacallit]

3. I'm curious

which pundits got the debate right in your opinion?

[MineralMan]

5. Curiosity will keep you from enlightenment...

You have only to listen closely to what I say and watch my eyes...

[whatchamacallit]

7. Putting your "comedy" aside for a moment

Do you believe any pundits called it right?

[MineralMan]

8. Be your own pundit, grasshopper.

Be your own pundit.

He who hijacks the thread spoils the omelet.

10. You're too easy MM

Every time you post it's like you're taping a kick me sign to your own back.

[MineralMan]

11. As my father told me,

"Son, you should always be ready to laugh at yourself. If you're not, others will do it for you."

[whatchamacallit]

12. He was wise n/t

[MineralMan]

14. Indeed.

At 91 years of age, he still is, too. I try hard to follow his advice, hard as it is sometimes.

[whatchamacallit]

21. Wow!

Sorry about my assumption. The second I posted I thought hmm...what if he's still kickin?

[MineralMan]

28. I don't think he does much kicking, but he's still up

on his tractor sometimes. I worry about it, but what can you do?

4. The irony is that "pundit" is Sanskrit for something like "wise person."

पण्डित (paṇḍitá) - "owner of knowledge"; scholar.

[MineralMan]

6. Irony is a funny thing.

My mother practiced irony every Tuesday. Monday was laundry day.

[Xyzse]

17. Yep, it is the Priest/Cleric class.

[iamthe99]

9. Who pays them . I'll leaveyou with that to ponder

[MineralMan]

13. Many of the most quoted in the world of punditry

are not paid at all by anyone. Isn't that interesting? They're so eager to tell you something that they'll do it for free.

[iamthe99]

15. Name One

[MineralMan]

16. I will leave you to do your own research.

[iamthe99]

24. I thought so

not so easy is it.......

[MineralMan]

25. Thinking is good. Keep practicing

and you will become expert at it.

[iamthe99]

27. My post stopped you in your tracks

no big deal ,maybe next time.

[MineralMan]

29. Oh, dear. No.

Stopping me in my tracks is a lot harder than that.

[hrmjustin]

18. Conspiracy damn it!

[MineralMan]

20. Conspiracies are all in your mind.

The truth is out there, I understand, however. Seek it out and who knows what you will discover.

[hrmjustin]

23. But my tin hat says conspiracy!

[cprise]

19. Nothing hypocritical pointing out institutional bias. eom

[MineralMan]

22. Ah, you are indeed wise.

Bias of all kinds is deceptively attractive to the inattentive mind. Eschew hypocritical bias, along with obfuscation, and you will live well and long.

[think]

26. It's hard to take pundits seriously if they completely dismiss their own focus groups & polls

Why bother even having online polls & focus groups if they don't even consider them relevant?

[mcar]

30. Until they agree with me

Or my candidate. Then they are insightful and speak nothing but the truth...until they don't again.

[MineralMan]

31. You speak truth.

[mcar]

32. Until I don't

And who decides what is truth? I'll start a poll on the question.

[MineralMan]

33. LOL!
