Daily Rant

What passes for breaking news here in the United States definitely….isn’t. Take Oprah’s big announcement. Woohoo, Oprah has a long lost sister. wow. But, no matter, the twitter account @breakingnews felt it was important. I had to let them know I felt different. Cause I’m helpful like that.

I didn’t really expect anything to come of it, the twitter account is an automatic feed and not one that interacts with people.

However….

It wasn’t long before a new ‘breaking news’ event came up. I had to help the guys at @breakingnews out. ‘Cause I’m a giver.

Nonetheless, I expected them to tweet out this ‘news bulletin’ so we could breathlessly await word of which whore had called the ambulance for Charlie Sheen’s drug induced emergency.

I was outsmarted.

Clearly, I am not dealing with amateurs here. They didn’t technically ’tweet’ it. But they did retweet it… Hmmmmmmmm. Methinks they get a pass for this one.  Also, I like using the word methinks.

    I think the fail is CNN’s on this one.

    Isn’t it fun to think that they didn’t actually tweet it because of your tweet? (There was no way to say that without writing tweet twice).
