Brains & Brawn: Professor-turned-bestselling political writer; record-setting weightlifter

[Michael Gurnow @MichaelGurnow]

My sophomore effort, Nature's Housekeeper, has been in print for over a decade . . .

. . . a critically-acclaimed, international bestseller, it debuted at No. 1 in Germany.

@TheCatOnBallyTV @SothatsHarrison You posted about this four times in a day. Stop trolling me, Jim. Claiming my publisher is unaware of the sales record of one of his titles—really? Your scamper to discredit me is embarrassing. As clearly seen at the top of my feed since April 2:

Today marks the 10-year anniversary of my first book, The Edward Snowden Affair . . .

. . . a critically-acclaimed, international bestseller cataloged in the Library of Congress.

It has never been out-of-print.

Not bad for a debut.

[Michael Gurnow @MichaelGurnow]

@TheCatOnBallyTV @SothatsHarrison Given "Captain Obvious" is a proper name and should be capitalized . . .

. . . "your are" should be either "you're" or "you are" and . . .

. . . ironies of ironies, "too smart" (not "to smart"),

You're correct, The Shadow (and everyone else) is too intelligent for your feed.

[Michael Gurnow @MichaelGurnow]

@TheCatOnBallyTV For a baseball reporter, your analysis sure is inaccurate: Hard for Walker to have "a long and successful run" (in MLB) if he's in MiLB (again).

Jim, I provided an earnest assessment; you mocked it.

Don't take shots at other journalists unless you're sure you're dead center.

Votto's last series was in St. Louis. He took the time to remember the fans. And, yes, that is a signed Votto RC.

@JohnDenton555 One, I'd consider myself a "writer" given my work has appeared on bestseller lists worldwide.

Two, check your ego at the door: I don't follow you; the algorithm inserts you into my wall.

Three, we—as professional journalists—are prone to criticism if our work isn't on point.

@JohnDenton555 Breaking News: Employee Speaks During Meeting

Granted, there isn't an overabundance of newsworthy events which take place during Spring Training, so journalists are forced to get creative by looking in areas that would otherwise go ignored . . .

. . . then there's overreaching.

[Michael Gurnow @MichaelGurnow]

@JohnDenton555 Jesus, John, you are a professional writer, no? How can this be labeled "As usual" when Spring Training started less than a week prior?

[Michael Gurnow @MichaelGurnow]

@JohnDenton555 As a record-setting weightlifter, I can attest for there to be a visual difference at his height, 15+ lbs. would need to be added. Basic physiology states that amount of mass in four months isn't possible naturally, so he had chemical help or Denton is wrong in his assessment.

[Michael Gurnow @MichaelGurnow]

@JohnDenton555 John,

James is not a Cape native: He was born in Cape, essentially a small metro hub for a series of small rural communities in southeast Missouri.

He grew up in Charleston, a subburb of Sikeston, itself 30 miles removed from Cape Girardeau.

I have recently been witness to a phenomenon wherein Business treats clients' time as expendable.

Time is non-fungible, so I step in with the aim of disincentivizing this type of behavior.

Moral of the story: Waste my time; I take your money.

Fun fact: In 2019, after being recommended by committee, a university president opened his interview with me by declaring, "I don't want to hire you." When I asked why, he cited this article.

Published 12 years ago and continues to be one of my most talked about pieces. Whodda thought?

And if you'd like a really wild (and extremely well done) interpretation of Predator, check out the editorial by @MichaelGurnow of @ClassicHorror, looking at the film as a metaphor of the AIDS epidemic of the early 80's. https://t.co/JwCA5KyaVD

She broke records in squat, bench press, deadlift and more. https://t.co/17Ginm98MF
