New Secretary of State John Kerry has a plan: When he writes a Tweet on the State Department Twitter page, he will write “JK”.. Really, this is the official plan.
It will be nice to know when Kerry himself is writing to the masses, and it may seem simple just to use his initials. It makes sense.. until you realize that, in the Internet and Twitterverse, ‘JK’ means just kidding. I assume the State Department will not be just kidding much, but some who don’t know who John Kerry is may think they are.. I would hope there are no international incidents.. Imagine this future possible Tweet: “The US mourns for your nation during this time, JK” …. Yikes.
What about SK for Secretary Kerry? What about just … “KER” ??
I’d love to be a fly on the wall at the meeting that came up with this. But if I was a fly I guess I’d be swirling around President Obama’s face.
This is a strange world.
