Oy, Mark (fill in the blank) Bailey, you forgot to check the GW Dictionary! This one's been treated here previously: http://www.alphadictionary.com/goodword/word/pundit.

Nice to see you're still out there and with us nonetheless. Come back more often.

Thanks
I sure am glad I don't think I'm smart. A pundit I would
be, and somehow that sounds like something out of
Star Wars.
