Don’t tell anyone: Twitter confidentially files for its IPO

http://twitter.com/#!/kevinroose/status/378265535927959552

Twitter is moving ahead with its plans for an initial public offering, but don’t tell anyone you heard it from us. In a tweet, Twitter noted that it had filed its submission confidentially.

No, read the tweet.

Facebook went public last May, with high rollers like 2.3 percent owner Bono suddenly finding himself with $1.5 billion worth of Facebook stock. Twitter, on the other hand, is valued at around $10 billion total.

It’s the most exciting day in Twitter’s seven-year history — now get back to work. There are conservatives in Twitter Gulag who need their gruel.

Sen. John Cornyn has blunt response for proponents of Citizens United repeal

http://twitter.com/#!/Fishgot2swim/status/508706373677621248

The Senate is scheduled Monday to vote on a proposed constitutional amendment that would overturn the Citizens United decision. Texas Sen. John Cornyn didn’t leave his constituents wondering how he’ll vote on the issue.

We doubt that’s changed his mind.

Juan Williams defends Eric Holder on behalf of ‘real journalists’

Juan Williams repeatedly names Rosen as "REAL journalist" Left has def begun an attack on bloggers. #JustABlogger #tgdn #tcot #tlot #PJNET

— ıɹɐɹɹǝɟɯoʇ (@tomferrari) May 29, 2013

Who’ll survive the Obama administration’s scandal longer: Attorney General Eric Holder or Fox News contributor Juan Williams? News that the Justice Department has been tracking both AP reporters and Fox News’ James Rosen has led to some soul-searching by the administration’s usually reliable water carriers, but Williams seems prepared to defend Holder to the bitter end. But why is Fox News employing Williams to put all of the West Wing’s talking points in a blender when liberal blogs would do just as well?

It’s hard to be sure, but Williams seems to think Holder needs to investigate his underlings to make sure real journalists like Fox News’ James Rosen aren’t accidentally caught in the snare set for those rogue bloggers and tweeters Sen. Dick Durbin warned us about on Sunday.

Relax, real journalists: Eric Holder will investigate who’s been monitoring you and make sure it never happens again. What? He personally vetted the search warrant naming Rosen a co-conspirator under the Espionage Act? By Williams’ logic, maybe Holder should investigate the judge who believed that ridiculous claim.

How soon until MSNBC announces a new show co-hosted by Eric Holder and Juan Williams?
