Allen West calls out Lady Gaga for ‘reprehensible’ version of National Anthem

http://twitter.com/#!/AllenWest/status/351812606140481537

Lady Gaga was ripped for changing the words to the National Anthem. Former Congressman Allen West didn’t appreciate it, and many people tweeted their agreement:

Oh, dear.

sad news…sudden death of owner of the restaurant where POTUS had breakfast this a.m. in Akron http://t.co/Al9gTOTd

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 6, 2012

More from ABC News:

Just an hour after hosting President Obama for breakfast the owner of an Akron, Ohio, restaurant is dead.

Reporters going to Ann’s Place in Akron to follow up on the President’s choice of breakfast were stunned to learn the restaurant’s owner — 70 year old Josephine “Ann” Harris — died after meeting with him over eggs, bacon and wheat toast, according to Ed Esposito of ABC’s Akron affiliate WAKR.

Some people deal with sad news with humor. Twitter users are no exception.

If that Ohio restaurant owner was feeling ill, he should have just touched the hem of Obama's garment.

I doubt Obama was directly responsible for that restaurant owner's death, but we should probably impeach him just in case.

Perhaps he needs a binder to keep the names of women straight. But, then, aren’t they all just called doll? As long as you can spell “lady parts,” you are all good.

His oopsie aside, Twitter users aren’t enamored with when Touré  met Steinem-y. They do not want what he is having.

Police Find Lupita Nyong’o’s Pearl-Studded Oscar Dress

Save the pearls. Update: Nyong’o’s dress was discovered Friday back in the hotel where it was originally stolen.

Update — Feb. 27, 7:35 p.m. ET: Lupita Nyong’o’s Oscar dress has been located in West Hollywood.


According to TMZ, the thief returned the dress to the hotel where it was stolen. The thief then allegedly called TMZ, revealing the location of the dress and claiming the pearls on it are fake.

TMZ reported that it called police, who found the dress back in the hotel where it was stolen.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed to NBC 4 that the dress has been found.

Original story:

The pearl-studded dress Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o wore to this year’s Oscars was stolen from her hotel room yesterday, TMZ reported.

‘Math is hard’: Behold @HealthCareTara’s Common Core-esque excuse for O-care signup drop

http://twitter.com/#!/cindybis/status/443486831577808896

White home Obamacare flack Tara McGuiness is having a rough time. Initially, she foolishly boasted that “Funny or Die” was “the #1 source of referrals to” medical.gov. Now, she’s attempting to take into account the drop-off in Obamacare signups between January and February.

Unfortuitously, she forgot to seek advice from her schedule initially:

No, ‘white people’s EBT’ isn’t working either; Xerox ‘glitch’ blamed

http://twitter.com/#!/kokomo0795/status/389157720894746624

Obviously no, there’s no feature of an EBT card that indicates race, but a few Twitter trolls quickly popped up to posit the idea during today’s blackout of the EBT processing system in 17 states.

http://twitter.com/#!/ITSHABEDDING/status/389172016441348096 http://twitter.com/#!/ModernLeftist/status/389149521327816704 http://twitter.com/#!/Real_change2012/status/389153005053820929

Yes on both counts.

http://twitter.com/#!/BigJebBos/status/389157086568783872 http://twitter.com/#!/kankokage/status/389181412873482240

Today’s very real shutdown of EBT processing can be traced to a “routine test of backup systems” by vendor Xerox that knocked out government-issued debit cards across the country, according to the AP. (Or maybe it was a computer system upgrade or a power failure, as CBS reported.) Whatever the cause, the race police, including “What’s the Matter with White People” author Joan Walsh, were out to shame those who would bring race into an already tense situation.

Mocking and EBT cruelty? Sure, there are trolls making jokes, but the folks on the Right have been the ones sounding the alarm bells about the perils of government dependence, while well-off Democrats pretend to be on SNAP benefits for no good reason that we can see, other than to be seen. Wanting people independent of government assistance is not cruelty.

Students In Germany Transformed This Boring Tower Into Beautiful Artwork. Simply Stunning.

We pass by so many boring, ordinary, and thoroughly uninteresting landmarks in our everyday life. Most of us tune them out, but a group of students in Germany transformed this dull electric tower in their town into an undeniably beautiful work of art. There’s no ignoring this as you ride along the road. The students cut out vibrant pieces of Acrylglas and affixed them all along the tower to create a collage of gorgeous stained glass. The project, titled Leuchtturm (“Lighthouse”), was completed in 2010 at the Klasse Löbbert and it has been brightening up the small town road in Hattingen, Germany ever since. Take a look!

(H/T: Colossal) It’s so simple, but it completely changes your perspective. Feeling inspired? Share with your friends below and see if they wanna tackle any urban artwork projects in your neighborhood!
