Condolences for Coretta Scott King
I turned off the TV and went to the grocery last night during President Bush's State of the Union speech, and apparently I wasn't the only person who didn't put the annual event at the top of my agenda. The President himself fell to No. 3 among today's most-discussed people in the blogosphere, while news of Coretta Scott King's death on Monday captured far more buzz. Mrs. King was the most-discussed and the burstiest person in the blogosphere, with condolences ranging from simple thanks to poet Aria Nicole's heartfelt observation that "the King legacy has forever changed."
Random observations
Newly sworn-in Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is today's fourth-most-discussed person, and despite all the D.C. wrangling, A Snitch in Haste offers some tempered reality-checking. But if you can't stop your liberal-conservative, red-blue bashing, blame your genes, the subject of today's most-cited news story, in which scientists examine genetic underpinnings for political biases.
Couldn't help but wonder which senatorial persona will be the target of today's No. 2 most-cited blog post?
More Wikipedia "edits"
A piece in the Lowell (MA) Sun has remained highly visible this week for revealing that certain Congressional staffers are changing the Wikipedia biographies of their bosses...and their enemies. Seems we've heard this one before.
