Who cares about tweeting anyhow? It's the name inanity as the updates on Facebook.

I am also not naive. Michelle goes to Target (hmmm...middle-class White demographic), Michelle tweets (maybe Black or all younger voters?), Barack brings Bo to PetCo...(White male age 25-50).

Derision from the posters in this forum and then the ban hammer from the admins.

The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Do try not to be crazy.

don't hate just because you don't.

it's a communication platform, just like smoke and blankets.

with the inanity that makes one want to bang his head against the wall:

"Wow, I just had a bowl of ice cream. That was so good!"

"Now I am scratching my crotch."

So what in bloody hell good is tweeting? To kill time? What purpose does it serve?

all of my favorite progressive bloggers/writers have published as soon as they publish.

If all you've got are friends who talk about that on facebook, then you need some new, more exciting friends.
