Yay! I made the list!
“Im starting to see what you mean. I like to say that on the internet the truth percolates to the surface. It appears that Twitter is the truths high speed elevator. And when lies try to use the elevator they get splatted on the floor when it takes off.”
I really like that image.
More postings from me... just can’t help myself...
Was losing argument with #teaparty neighbor, so I called her a racist. Forgot she was black. Awkward. #attackwatch
#ifyouloveme and #passthisbill — you know, this is starting to look mentally unstable. Should invoke 25th, but, jeez, Biden. #attackwatch
@AttackWatch fact request: Will Obama’s next Nobel Prize be for bombing Lybia or arming Mexican drug lords? #attackwatch #fastandfurious
@AttackWatch fact request: what are the window dimensions in the Oval Office. @SarahPalinUSA is shopping for drapes. #attackwatch
Last set for now...
@AttackWatch fact request: I forget, on Fridays do we blame Bush, @SarahPalinUSA, #TeaParty, or House #GOP? #attackwatch
@AttackWatch fact request: how do I map “tax and spend” to “hope and change”? Is it a 1-to-1 mapping, or more subtle? #attackwatch
#attackwatch Some idiot Senator said if Obama didn’t fix economy in 3 years he didn’t deserve re-election. Should Hoffa “take him out”?
These are good. I’m adding them to my blog. http://tigercaponehundred.blogspot.com/2011/09/attackwatch-fun.html
What is your twitter name?
Silly me, I used my real name: KevinKrom
I’m zeelandcap. I just sent you a follow request on twitter.
