Gchat, arguably the most legitimate of all instant messaging services, gets even more dynamic this week.  Huffington Post recently featured Penn professor Michelle Taransky’s Gchat poetry as part of their Reading Series.  Taransky’s “Sorry Was In The Woods” is an excerpt from her forthcoming book and subsequently makes us feel self-conscious for not even including vowels in our Gchats. Sry.

While we don’t have the attention span time to write our own full-fledged Gchat poem, we came up with a special haiku for the occasion:

Thank you, O Gchat

Have any Gchat gems?  Let us know in the comments.  It’s Friday, and we all need something to read.

Our boy Jon Huntsman was featured on Bloomberg TV yesterday to get interviewed by awesome Penn Professor Al Hunt.  Huntsman supported repealing Obamacare, called Mitt Romney a phony and talked *snore* taxes.

Meanwhile, Hunt asked hard-hitting questions, like whether Huntsman thinks he can win New Hampshire.  At first, Huntsman said he “can win New Hampshire.”  But after some poking and prodding, Hunt got Huntsman to say he “will win New Hampshire.” Hunt also wanted to know why New Hampshire voters get to see so much of Huntsman’s daughters.  Just your typical Penn elbow-rubbing.
