Heed my warning! From the pits of Hades, from the depths of Poseiden’s blue oceans, and from the mail room where Zeus created an unnecessary middle-management position for his nephew – wrath! Wrath of the gods, I tell you! The ruler of our great lands has insulted the great beings of Mount Olympus, and of the stained glass of Vatican City.
President Obama devoted his weekly radio address to thanking U.S. service members and volunteers at shelters and soup kitchens. But it’s whom he didn’t thank that caused a stir on Twitter: God. (la times)
I totally agree, the president should start off every televised address by kissing a diamond cross necklace, pointing straight up and saying, “First off, I need to thank my god (kisses fingers, holds up peace sign) My fellow Americans…”
What is wrong with people, the president isn’t a priest, he’s not saying grace before dinner – he’s addressing the nation on a holiday. Give the man a friggin’ break.
Does everyone get a porn star? It seems like everyone who wants one, gets one, from TMZ:
Weiner and former porn star Ginger Lee exchanged scores of sexual emails over a long period of time. When the underwear scandal broke on May 28, Lee began receiving calls from the media, and Weiner was more than happy to help her control the situation … by lying.
Here’s a tip for politicians, you don’t have to use your professional twitter; you can actually make as many as you want. It’s easy. Create a fake email account, use that to sign up for twitter, and there you go… or, did Rep. Anthony Weiner realize that he has absolutely no game without being a Congressman. He’s probably not getting a porn star as Tony W.
And he may be in real trouble for offering her help in lying for him.
Weiner put on a full court press, urging Lee to lie about their relationship. On June 1, he emailed her: “The key is to have a short, thought out statement that tackles the top line questions and then refer people back to it. Have a couple of iterations of: ‘This is silly. Like so many others, I follow Rep. Weiner on Twitter. I don’t know him and have never met him. He briefly followed me and sent me a dm saying thank you for the follow. That’s it.’”
But wait, there’s more…
40-year-old Lisa Weiss — a Nevada blackjack dealer who went back and forth with Weiner on Facebook for more than a year — tells TMZ she first began messaging him in August, 2010, after hearing an impassioned, microphone-slamming speech he gave on health care.
Weiss, who says she wants to apologize to Weiner’s wife, does admit the conversations got raunchy. One notable mention: In February, after watching Weiner on Bill Maher’s show, Weiss wrote, “Didn’t think I could love you more until I saw you on Bill Maher tonight.”
Weiner responded: “Maybe Maher will let me do you on his desk. Since u like me there.
I think the worst part about all of this for Anthony Weiner is that he doesn’t seem to have gotten to have sex with anyone besides maybe his wife. If you’re going to risk ruining your life, just go full throttle. At least then you can look back with better memories then It was so hot when she sent me that message on Twitter.
Some Congressman from New York – named Anthony Weiner, who is friends from a while back with Jon Stewart – is in the news about a “lewd” photo being sent from his Twitter account to some college chick in Seattle. The photo is of a penis in underwear. Jon Stewart knows that this isn’t his friend Weiner’s penis because they used to swim together. Of course, there’s a solid chance that Jon Stewart was just joking, but that’s highly unlikely, because he’s not funny.
The chick in Seattle – named Gennette Cordova – said this, full statement here:
There have never been any inappropriate exchanges between Anthony Weiner and myself, including the tweet/picture in question, which had apparently been deleted before it reached me. I cannot answer the questions that I do not have the answers to. I am not sure whether or not this letter will alleviate any future harassment. I also do not have a clear understanding as to how or why exactly I am involved in this fiasco. I do know that my life has been seriously impacted by speculation and faulty allegations. My reputation has been called into question by those who lack the character to report the facts.
Some football player – named Reshard Mendenhall – is taking some guff for a couple of tweets he posted after the news that Osama bin Laden was finally found and killed by the US. It seems he thought it was mean of people to celebrate bin Laden’s death, because they never gave the man a chance to speak his mind, give his side of things.
If only there was a way for Osama bin Laden to have gotten his message out, some way to record his voice, then we would all know what he…. What!? There is such a device! That’s fantastic. Wait… bin Laden knew of this magical device, AND used it? Well, what did he say, did our government know, maybe if they would have just heard his side…
“Only one strong way to bring the return of Al-Aqsa and Palestine, and that is jihad in the path of God,” Bin Laden said. “The duty is to urge people to jihad and to enlist the youth into jihad brigades.”
Does jihad mean the same thing in the Middle East that it means here? Huh. So, his side of the story is that we should all be killed by suicide bombers. Okay, I’ve listened to his side of things, taken it into consideration, and my now-informed opinion is that he deserved to get shot in the face by two bullets.
Oh, and Rashard Mendenhall also tweeted about the 9/11 attacks, “We’ll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style.” He’s right, physics really is full of subjective beliefs, and you really can’t prove or disprove a belief. So, we’ll never know how a plane full of one of the most explosive substances in the world could weaken a building to the point that the weight of one-third of the building would cause a collapse and a subsequent falling-sledgehammer effect as the weight of each floor was added just by flying into it.
People are idiots. Kenneth Cole, a clothing company, posted this tweet and now the twitterers are all up-in-arms over the inappropriateness. It’s funny, get over it. After all the outrage, they tweeted:
Re Egypt tweet: we weren’t intending to make light of a serious situation. We understand the sensitivity of this historic moment -KC
Which I guess they need to do because they’re a company. Whatever, I’m off to take a walk in my Kenneth Cole shoes while listening to “Walk Like An Egyptian.”
This just in: Kenneth Cole has issued an apology via Facebook. Social media has made “screwing up” and apologizing so much easier.
