I just accidentally discovered Nick Coleman's Twitter account. Hard as it is to believe, the dour fuddy duddy can indeed infuse his rare brand of ignorant moping into Tweets of 140 characters or less. As an added bonus, he mentions David Hanners in somewhat glowing terms.
I'm holding out the possibility that it may be a fake Twitter account, but it seems legit.
UPDATE: Upon further thinking, I'm on the side of the fence that says this is a fantastic fake. The Obama-like avatar, plus the Web-text speak, is just a bit too much. If it is real, Coleman deserves props for being a literary caricature of himself.

Posted by: LearnedFoot at April 23, 2009 07:14 AMThe larger question remains: do you think it's legit?
Odin Soli can be credited with forever making me suspicious of the Web, which I was even before "Plain Layne."
Posted by: Ryan at April 23, 2009 10:02 AMI think it's legit. I've seen Dave Brauer (who I think knows NonMonkey personally) refer to the feed as if it were really Nick.
