http://twitter.com/#!/sarabenwell/status/321253919772794881 Repugnant. That tweet was made after former U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s death was announced. As we reported, twisted sickos immediately took to Twitter with foul celebratory tweets about popping open champagne and dancing. That employee shamefully joined in. As TheDrinksBusiness.com reported, that tweet was deleted and the cretinous employee has been suspended. Here […]
http://twitter.com/#!/NoahCRothman/status/334363538355277824 Heh. Jay Carney’s press briefing today (when he finally showed up) turned into mockery gold. In addition to shamefully diminishing the lives lost in Benghazi by calling it a “political circus,” blaming Fox News for the AP scandal and a bout of denial, he uttered some words that became fodder for snark. First, he […]
http://twitter.com/#!/eshap/status/223237826236518400 Boy, that conniving Mitt Romney sure knew what he was doing when he deliberately baited the NAACP audience into booing him. You see, he didn’t really want to bring his message to black voters. It was all part of his clever “Southern Strategy” to up his racist street cred with old white bigots and gin up […]
http://twitter.com/#!/Brie_MONEYBags/status/244982488093556737 Apparently the Occupy Movement’s pledge of solidarity wasn’t enough for some Chicago public school teachers. They’ve got their eyes on younger, more impressionable supporters — their students. Chicago Teachers Union members are urging kids to support their cause by joining strikers on the picket line, according to some students on Twitter. But the students appear […]
http://twitter.com/#!/marionbarryjr/status/220590864198668288 D.C. Councilmember Marion Barry is a longtime advocate of freeing the nation’s capital from “political slavery.” Tweet if YOU believe in FREEDOM & ONE MAN/WOMAN ONE VOTE! How long are we gonna celebrate other people's freedom and not our own? #FREEDC! — Marion S. Barry, Jr. (@marionbarryjr) July 4, 2012 So on Independence Day, instead […]
Step aside Mr. Architect, there’s a new champ in town. (I’m sorry, it’s not you.) There are some animals in the world that are natural, self-taught architects. They are able to build the most unique and functional structures in the world. They could probably do it blind-folded. Animal instincts can be amazingly strong. Some instincts […]
http://twitter.com/#!/markknoller/status/224938396143980545 Whew! The most pressing debate of our time has finally bubbled to the surface. BREAKING: Obama says he is "partial" to thin mints. — Mike Memoli (@mikememoli) July 16, 2012 That’s right; President Obama is on Team Thin Mints. We are only surprised that he didn’t tell Girl Scouts that they didn’t hoof it […]
http://twitter.com/#!/whitehouse/status/324582719550025728 It’s the lie that just won’t die. @whitehouse not a fact — Rich Schneider (@rschneider631) April 17, 2013 @whitehouse stop using the 40% of gun sales aren’t governed by a background check. It simply is not true! — Dustin Weiss (@WeissRX) April 17, 2013 RT @whitehouse: FACT: Nearly 40% of gun sales still don’t […]
One of the first, and last, great bloggers pulled the plug today. View this image › John Gara/BuzzFeed I first really understood the secret power of the early 2000s political blogosphere in February 2005, when Josh Marshall was hot in pursuit of then-Majority Leader Tom DeLay. I was a local politics reporter in New York, […]
http://twitter.com/#!/Slublog/status/213477088030756865 Yep. Inspired by tonight’s Twitter pwnage of Andy Borowitz, the #BorowitzJokes hashtag blew up in the most wonderful way. See, unlike Mr. Borowitz, who has embarked on a massive blocking spree, conservatives on Twitter actually have a sense of humor. And tonight, it was on display for all the world to see: Why did […]
