I know you all must have been wondering “who is this Colin Clark guy and what’s he doing here?”
“Catch the Buzz?” what the heck does that mean. And on and on…
Well, folks, the day has come. Colin is a crack defense business reporter and editor who’s been hired on by our parent site Military.com to lead a new online publication we’ve dubbed “DoD Buzz.” The goal of the online defense and acquisition journal is to provide timely, need-to-know business intelligence for defense industry decision makers and experts. Colin’s going to be tracking the defense industry, weapons contracts and the shifting sands of procurement policy to a degree seen only in the pricey “Insides” and “Defense News” broadsheet landscape.
But what Colin can bring to the space that the others can’t is an editorial independence and enthusiasm lost with print pubs. You’ve already probably noticed the wry wit he brings to the copy he’s posted on Defense Tech and Military.com. Well, now we’re unleashing him on DoD Buzz to take it to the next level.
Since many of you are industry players and need the kind of intel Colin can bring to the table to help make better decisions in your world, I hope you’ll make DoD Buzz a daily stop alongside Defense Tech. So put it in your favorites and “catch the buzz” of breaking news, cutting edge coverage and a good-hearted chuckle at this crazy world we call Pentagon procurement with Colin Clark and the kick-butt new site, “DoD Buzz.”

” wry whit and forked tongue ”
Well I know what ‘forked tongue’ means – it’s a synonym for dishonesty – http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/speak+with+forked+tongue
But what is ‘wry whit’?
I am thinking he means “wit”, not a person’s nickname “whit” or the store “whit’s end”.
Yes, “forked tongue” (or speaking with two tongues) means dishonest or hypocritical speech according to your URL, Wikipedia, Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, and Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate English Dictionary. However, from what I’ve read of Colin, he is certainly not a dishonest or hypocritical. Hence, the author did not mean dishonesty and means something like a sharp or shrewd/astute tongue rather than a forked tongue.
Wembley,
Is that REALLY all you can say about this?…Really?…
Sometimes I just shake my head and wonder…
actually, “whit” is not only a person’s nickname, but also means the smallest thing imaginable (ref. Merriam-Websters Dictionary, Websters Unabridged, &c.). However, that is beyond his point, which I believe is “wry wit”.
anyway, the English errors notwithstanding, I look forward to the DoD Buzz and am confident that Colin would do an excellent job.
(Give him a break, Christian. Perhaps he is not an American and has difficulty understanding American English despite the “whit” and “forked tongue” errors.)
