http://twitter.com/#!/MissKellyO/status/321297039063388160

@MissKellyO I like that. And good for you tweeting regardless of the inevitable backlash!

— Emma Watson (@LadyEmmaWatson) April 8, 2013

How dare she?!

This morning, Kelly Osbourne tweeted a tribute to the late Margaret Thatcher, expressing sadness at the Iron Lady’s passing. If she were lamenting the death of Hugo Chavez, lefties would likely be cheering. As it happens, Osbourne is finding out the hard way what happens when a celebrity has kind words for a conservative warrior:

@MissKellyO sad? she was a scumbag who will rot in hell. you never lived in a town where no ones dad had a job for a decade apparently.

— Movie Enjoyer (@movie_enjoyer) April 8, 2013

@MissKellyO are you fucking joking she was a tri rant and destroyed peoples lives and you have the north of Britain celebrating here death

Tolerance at its best.

Osbourne fought back:

@lfcmad1306 that will always happen in politics but anyone that 'celebrates' the death of another negatively needs there head sorting out!

— Kelly Osbourne (@KellyOsbourne) April 8, 2013

@leaanddan If she was a man you would not be saying that!

— Kelly Osbourne (@KellyOsbourne) April 8, 2013

@victoriajones88 Anyone is a position of power will always cause pain no matter what! Its a dirt job but someones got to do it!

— Kelly Osbourne (@KellyOsbourne) April 8, 2013

Others agreed that Thatcher’s memory deserves to be honored:

@MissKellyO she was a woman of strength no matter if you agreed with her or not.:-).

— lD KIDD (@idkidd6) April 8, 2013

@MissKellyO nice to see a positive quote rather than all this hate we are seeing – at the end of the day she was a daughter/wife/mother

— Beckaweck (@beckaweck) April 8, 2013

@MissKellyO she may have made some harsh decisions but she turned this country around when we needed it. X

— Emily Mills (@NuttyDevil7) April 8, 2013

@MissKellyO Gr8 statement there from Margaret Thatcher, won't b another like her.

College Is The Best Time Of Your Life, Make It Even Better With These Awesome Gadgets.

It’s that time of the year when kids get that look in their eye: school is right around the corner. That may be unfortunate for some, but school supply shopping can actually be kind of fun. You should really start stocking up on the raddest back to school gear that you can. Technology has advanced a bit since the old days of pencil sharpeners and crayons, so upgrade your gear with some of these items on this list here and you’ll be the envy of all your peers. Can I go back to school?

1) Doberman Laptop Security – When activated, this device will sound an 100 decibel alarm if it senses any movement on your laptop.

2) AverTVHD Volar Max – Allows you to watch your favorite TV shows live on your laptop. Perfect for procrastinators.

3) Novatel Wireless’ GSM MiFi 2352 – Sets up a powerful WiFi hotspot wherever you are. Just in case you have an assignment due and are stranded somewhere without internet.

4) Aaxa Technologies P1 Jr. Pico Projector – Projects a 50″ screen onto any surface. Great for when the teacher’s projector clunks out and you need some brownie points.

5) Nescafe Dolce Gusto Melody 2 – Makes Coffee. Who doesn’t need coffee?

6) Avengers Flash Drives – Just in case you need memory on the go, prepare for the new Avengers movie with these 8GB flash drives.

7) TeraByte Hard Drives – In case you need a bit more power than the Avengers can muster, there are TeraByte hard drives sold everywhere now for around $100.

8) Leatherman Wingman Multi-Tool – Believe me, you’ll need this for repairs, quick fixes, and opening beers… I mean “study drinks.”

9) Harmon Kardon BT Headphones – These wireless headphones provide great sound and if the battery dies, you can plug them in with an adaptable cord.

10) Mophie Power Case – This does it all, protects your phone from damage and has the ability to charge it. This should come standard with all iPhones.

11) 3D Apple Notepad – No, it’s not the Apple you are thinking of. For those who prefer writing with a real pen, this notepad is a cool new take on note taking.

12) Google Chromecast – Plug this bad boy into your TV and get to stream Netflix, Youtube, HBO Go, and a plethora of other streaming sites. You’ll maybe/totally use this for studying.

Well, I feel ready for school. Wait, what? I graduated years ago? Well, maybe I’ll go back to get another degree in AWESOMENESS. Share this is you need some new gear for school or know someone who does.

Stick a fork in him: Booker busted for lying about imaginary thug friend T-Bone

http://twitter.com/#!/SHannitysHair/status/373108280325062656

An imaginary friend, that is.

Booker’s gone and gotten himself busted on a longtime lie, thanks to some intrepid reporting by NRO’s Eliana Johnson:

http://twitter.com/#!/michellemalkin/status/373099811613843456

Rut-roh:

Booker’s tales of his trials and travails on the streets of Newark, the city that twice elected him mayor, are familiar, and they have helped to breed an almost mythological aura around the Stanford, Oxford, and Yale graduate. He did, after all, rescue a woman from a burning building last year, sustaining burns in the process. But sources tell National Review Online that the central character in one of Booker’s oft-repeated stories — T-Bone, the drug pusher who the mayor has said threatened his life at one turn and sobbed on his shoulder the next — is a figment of his imagination, even though Booker has talked about him in highly emotional terms and in great detail.

http://twitter.com/#!/CoryBooker/status/373099004633948162

So in order to make stuff change, you have to make stuff up.

http://twitter.com/#!/RBPundit/status/373113659506974721 http://twitter.com/#!/redsteeze/status/373112957406019584

Well done, Cory Booker! (See what we did there?)

http://twitter.com/#!/RBPundit/status/373111166857273346

It’s a perfect plan!

http://twitter.com/#!/Cameron_Gray/status/373111605694717952

Hot stuff.

http://twitter.com/#!/CodyLee_IL/status/373114491950481408

Teehee!

http://twitter.com/#!/IMAO_/status/373104316111790080

Uh, yes please.

http://twitter.com/#!/LisaDeP/status/373114067399213056

Snort.

http://twitter.com/#!/JayCaruso/status/373114689343209472 http://twitter.com/#!/redsteeze/status/373109629200642048

Good question. Here’s another one:

http://twitter.com/#!/redsteeze/status/373110889425420288

What are Gregory and the media gonna do now?

http://twitter.com/#!/RBPundit/status/373102204028088320 http://twitter.com/#!/RBPundit/status/373106345425125377

Guess it’s just a “local story”.

http://twitter.com/#!/Cameron_Gray/status/373118414543278080

Funny, that.

http://twitter.com/#!/EEElverhoy/status/373111013056327680

Update:

http://twitter.com/#!/michellemalkin/status/373123734397145089

Oh. Yeah. And it’s — as T-Bone himself might say — the shizz:

http://twitter.com/#!/TBoneBooker/status/373129095925620736 http://twitter.com/#!/TBoneBooker/status/373130953209561088 http://twitter.com/#!/TBoneBooker/status/373131548515504128 http://twitter.com/#!/TBoneBooker/status/373133746808954881

Check out the rest of T-Bone’s tweets, playas.

McGruff the Crime Dog actor busted for possessing 1,000 pot plants

http://twitter.com/#!/inthefade/status/431935818467246081

Those who grew up with McGruff the Crime Dog are reexamining the crime-fighting mascot Friday as the actor who once portrayed him is sentenced to 16 years in prison. NBC News reports:

John Russell Morales, 41, an actor who once played the crime-fighting cartoon bloodhound, has been sentenced to nearly two decades behind bars after pleading guilty to possessing 1,000 marijuana plants and a cache of nearly 30 weapons — including a grenade launcher and thousands of ammunition rounds.

 Morales was arrested in 2011 after Galveston, Texas, police and drug-sniffing dogs — real dogs, that is — stopped him for speeding, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Kusin, who later prosecuted the case.

Morales reportedly had a cache of 27 weapons and 9,000 rounds of ammo.

Editor’s note: The headline of the post has been changed to clarify that the actor was busted for pot possession, not ammo possession.
