Or so Wikipedia tells me. It defines ?pundit? as ?someone who offers mass-media opinion, analysis or commentary on a particular subject area (most typically political analysis, the social sciences or sport), on which they are presumed to be "knowledgeable.?

So yesterday I became a pundit. Check out my views (as reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer) on how to fix the financial crisis.

Now I have to admit these quotes attributed to me, while taken from a conversation I had with the reporter last Friday, certainly sound more interesting here than I remember being when I sort of made them. But who cares, I?m a pundit now!

So readers of the GLOM, here it comes. Straight from the horse?s laptop. Unadulterated Okamoto punditry.  At least until Gordon yanks my typepad account.
