Twitterenvy

So I went ahead and followed some of the cable news people on Twitter.

I believe this was a mistake.

In the last 12 hours, I learned that Mika Scarborough attended the White House holiday shindig and wore some kind of really expensive hoity-toity jewelry. And I learned that Chuck Todd is vacationing/eating in Hawaii.

I don’t care about the jewelry thing, but damn them both for the other crap.

    Ladies and Gentleman, our newsmedia representatives. Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite left a huge void which left these pampered yahoos to fill.

    Bob, this is an intervention.Don’t become a Twitter-head.I know have one friend that goes back and forth to one celeb’s Twitter page to see if he’ll respond to his comments after he gave a randomly generated “follow” request or whatvever it is when the celebrity follows YOUR, uh, tweets. She’s a fiend for this service. A fiend, I tell you.Now…here you are with these critical updates to media dorks’ tweets. That’s just how it starts, man.First, you’re clowning, discussing how dopey the celebs read in their little tweet thingies. Next, the tweeters hit you with something serious, say, a dog dying or a son not getting an “A” on some test. Then you’re…disturbing your friends, informing them that so & so woke up on Hump Day with a pain in his fingernail, so he did not come in for work. Your close friends won’t tell you this, but since I’m not one of your “close friends,” I will: Twitter is not designed for mentally healthy individuals. It is designed to penetrate the mental faculty that prevents you from obsessing on a subject too closely. There is a clinical term for what I’m referring to, but I’m being a bit facetious, so there’s no need to indulge that. It’s very real, though, so be careful.(Next thing you know, all your blog updates will be centered around getting some dude from an obscure 8os pop band to drop your name at some talk show appearance)Again, DO NOT BECOME A TWITTER-HEAD!

    And no, I have not informed my friend that she’s doing something mentally unhealthy. Since we’re both in the same profession, I assumed she already knows, but…Oh no, now I’m going to have to pay someone to talk to my friend about her Twitter-habit.

    It’s really repulsive that Jethro and his Star Search Spokes Model go on air every with their concern trolling while sliding up to the Whitehouse to kiss ass and be seen with many of the people in the administration who they trash on a daily basis. I loved reading a few weeks ago that Morning Joe finishes dead last in the cable morning show ratings.And I know it’s because after the election we Liberals stopped watching. We know this because wingnuts and teabaggers watch fox. They were never watching his show. His ratings last year were much better than they are now thanks to us. I even emailed the show telling them this.By the way, It really annoys me that the pres follows the president on vacation. It’s really pathetic because they usually end up telling us what the president ate or where he went for ice cream. It’s seems invasive.Oh, and I skipped lunch and ate spare ribs for dinner.

    Bob, MSM people are not as bad as anyone af Faux Noise. I follow Glenn Beck (so you don’t have to) and his tweets are the most random, senseless garbage I’ve ever seen.

    Mika just wrote a poor me post over at HuffPo a little while back about how she couldn’t find a job before she landed her gig on Morning Joe.She really pissed me off.Whining about being unemployed for a short time. Her jewels are probably worth more than a lot of us will make in our lifetimes.She is such a bitch.
