Twitter is AWESOME

So Lolo Jones shot herself in the foot again with her twitter gun, and upset some fans of Rhianna and Drake.

Some of the tweets back at her:

So, what exactly did Lolo Jones' fail-magnet ass do now?

At least Rihanna gets some use outta that jerk chicken smellin' jizz box and doesn't let it collect lint like yours, @lolojones.

I heard people saying Lolo Jones was tripping again, but I assumed they just meant over a hurdle. Again.

 

OK, that last one is pretty funny.

 

Twitter brings out the idiot in both young and old.

Twitter costs another job.

But Franz kept his job.

 

Seems to me stupid just cost another job.

 

Absolutely.

But it used to be there was no readily available outlet for stupid.

 

Matt Drudge just wiped his Twitter account clean. Except for one that screams out I AM NUTS.

Several posters nod their heads in approval.

 

Matt Drudge is still around? Is his site still as state-of-the-art as Craigslist?

 

City clerk of Bay Area suburb Pleasant Hill has been accused of tweeting during council meetings instead of keeping the minutes. She is actually the subject of a recall effort for what others see as a complete dismissal of her job duties, but what she sees as fuddy-duddies not understanding the medium. She did not produce minutes of any meeting during her year in the job, and she used the city's official Twitter account to give play-by-play of meetings with her personal opinions mixed in.

And now she quits, gladly, because “This has been an atrocious, incredibly depressing and mind-numbingly inane experience I would not wish on anyone. I wish the city the best of luck in finding some schmuck eager to transcribe every last misogynistic joke, self-indulgent anecdote and pathetic pandering attempt by council, and every tinfoil hat conspiracy theory, racist aside, and NIMBY asshattery from the lovely council meeting frequent flyers, without which, surely our democracy could not flourish.”

City officials are obviously saddened:

"I'm paraphrasing our former President Gerald Ford in saying 'Our long municipal nightmare is now over.' Our city clerk has resigned," Pleasant Hill Mayor Tim Flaherty said.
