Perplexed VP leads to hilarious “things Biden can’t understand” hashtag

http://twitter.com/#!/TheMorningSpew/status/384445396748992512

In a fundraising page, Joe Biden had written which he “can’t understand” the reason why “the Republican Party is letting Ted Cruz lead their particular charge against Obamacare.”

Eventually, Twitter had been unstoppable with other #ThingsBidenCantUnderstand. Listed below are even more items that might leave Joe scraping his mind:

Biden undoubtedly featuresn’t figured this one away:

Happy birthday to us!

http://twitter.com/#!/michellemalkin/status/309673281886224386

Twitter users publish something like half a billion tweets per day. Even if 99.999 percent of those tweets are unimportant or nonsense, that leaves 5,000 tweets per day that are potentially newsworthy, or at least noteworthy.

Our mission is to find those hidden nuggets and report on them to you, our readers.

We’ve been at it for a year as of today. Has our Twitter-based news-gathering model proven a success?

We believe our record speaks for itself:

MSM dinosaurs consider our methods irresponsible. They insist that “real reporters” must wait around for government officials to confirm facts that are already widely known to anyone using Twitter.

Sorry, MSM, we don’t follow your rules. We have created a news model that allows people to read information that gatekeepers don’t want them to know. Our motto is “who said what.” Their motto is “which official source said what, and we’ll let you know when we’re good and ready.”

Do we make mistakes? Of course. Who doesn’t? And when errors are brought to our attention, we run straightforward corrections. We wish our MSM competitors did the same (see, e.g., here and here).

Twitchy couldn’t be what it is without you: the community of readers, commenters, and tipsters who come to the site every day; the Twitter users who retweet our posts; the Facebook users who “like” and “share” our articles.

Thanks so much to all of you for making our first year a phenomenal success.

Denver Post scrubs ‘socialist’ from profile of Arapahoe shooter

http://twitter.com/#!/rdbrewer4/status/411910392789483520

Several people noted a curious edit to the Denver Post’s profile of Arapahoe High School shooter Karl Pierson Friday. As Bearing Arms reports, the Denver Post originally reported that a classmate in Pierson’s economics class described Pierson as “a very opinionated Socialist.” Curiously, the story was updated to send the word socialist down the memory hole, and Pierson was merely described as “very opinionated.”

Paging Brian Ross: Are we sure the shooter wasn’t a very opinionated Tea Partyer? It certainly doesn’t sound like it. The Denver Post also reports that Pierson was “outspoken about politics.”
