Politi-Score: Crackpots, *Cheese* and WhINE (Updated)

Tip o’ the hat to you-know-who for sparking this idea. He called my *useless* Politi-Score a “GPA”—grade point average. In an email he asked if I knew the GPA of the grades he had been giving in the Grading PolitiFact section of his blog (I'd say I do for 2010, or at least for the summer!)  He said I was good at “generalizing.” Well, GPA, GPA….how about Generalized PolitiFact Average? Yes! So with my handy dandy photo editor, I made up another cheesy PolitiFact meter to reflect the new GPA. Of course it will always be stuck on “yellow” —“caution, neutral” since it is a very general indicator. The yellow “light” reminds me of one of those big round cheeses, too. Perfect. Isn’t it apropos that dairy land Wisconsin just came on board with PolitiFact.

From one crackpot to another! And how ‘bout a nice White whine in lieu of Chianti?


Postscript:  Corrections have been made to first paragraph and the cartoon because someone wanted more wHine.
