The Sidewalk to Nowhere

This is unbelievable. I am speechless. Who are these people? I cannot relate to a single one of them! Are these the Christians with upstanding moral values that I’ve heard our great country is based on? Or are they purely and truly ignorant? Or just plain stupid? I haven’t been this worked up in a long time….

Word of the Week (Oct 5, 2008)

I’m starting a new game (let’s see if I can keep this up)!

Every week I will use Mechanical Turk to ask 100 people for their “word of the week”—whatever seems to capture their experiences for the week—and then create a tag cloud. It would be interesting if themes emerged from week to week that distinguish themselves from each other. For example, this last week we’ve had a financial crisis and (near) economic meltdown. The tag cloud does express this to an extent, although some words could be generic enough to apply to any week (depending on your experience.) My favorite word in this batch is: holycrapadicious.
