Tweet of the Day, …Oh, *Cynthia* edition.

I almost miss the insane frothing-mad lunatic; watching her get booted out of office twice was a high point of my earlier days.

The problem is, of course, that Cynthia McKinney had to be in office in order to be unceremoniously booted from it; and Congress is not actually a live-action roleplaying game. Certain Members of Congress’s private opinions to the contrary. So, better this way.

I guess.

Tweet of the Day, This Doesn’t Actually Help @BarackObama, Time Magazine edition.

People notice stuff, after all.

And sparing the tender feelings of the President when he messes up is no way to get him to stop messing up. This is, like, Parenting 120 at best…

Tweet of the Day, Ain’t It The Truth, @charlescwooke edition.

This fascinates me, too:

I generally handle not caring by… not caring; it’s OK to tell people that, particularly when they’re interrupting you*, but the trick then is to walk away afterward. Nobody’s forcing you to talk to an idiot, after all: the First Amendment says nothing about letting people impose a power imbalance relationship on other people.

No, not even on the other side of the Bill of Rights, in invisible ink or something.

*I interrupt people all the time myself; I just don’t take it personally when they tell me to [expletive deleted] myself. That’s a perfectly reasonable attitude to take, in and of itself. Of course, they’d be better off listening to me, but what can you do?

Tweet of the Day, I Might Actually Move It Lower Edition.

The craft/gaming room is acquiring enough wall art and whatnot that I should start considering the overall aesthetic and not just throw up everything everywhere. Still, pretty cool, huh?

Tweet of the Day, There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Liberaltarian edition.

MSNBC just can’t help themselves, poor things.

The fascinating part is the way that a progressive network so casually went for the disemboweling stroke on libertarians, there. Which is unsurprising: the alternative is to face that Detroit is the way that it is because the most rabid ideological elements of [the] Democratic party had no opposition to its will and desires there for a half-century. And dear God, but it shows.

Tweet of the day, @iowahawk Wins Twitter And It Ain’t Even 9:30 AM Yet edition.

I got nothing, sorry.

And I feel no shame. It’s an honor to lose to this, really.
