http://twitter.com/#!/liars_never_win/status/505000999833329665

Well, a shocking revelation was made.

But apparently Hello Kitty is not (read the whole story if you want to have your mind blown).

Oh, the humanity! Oh, the betrayal!

Snicker. But wait … perhaps this from what purports to be Sanrio Puroland makes up for Sanrio’s years of the ultimate betrayal?

We don’t want to know. The truth about Hello Kitty was horrifying enough.

Another Friday night Fast and Furious document drop; also, CNN does its job!

http://twitter.com/#!/mboyle1/status/180886875635068928

Matthew Boyle of The Daily Caller tweeted it.

Story from CNN:

The Justice Department late Friday provided hundreds of pages of internal documents to the House committee looking into Operation Fast and Furious and related programs.

The documents sent to Rep. Darrell Issa, the California Republican who heads the committee that subpoenaed them, focus heavily on other Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operations in which weapons were trafficked from Arizona gun dealers through straw purchasers across the border to Mexican drug cartels.

Most of the documents deal with a 2007 operation involving Fidel Hernandez, who the ATF believed would be prosecuted for gun violations in Mexico by Mexican authorities.

In related news, CNN actually did a great job of covering the issues behind the murder of ICE Agent Jaime Zapata in Mexico.

Joan Walsh in a tizzy over Romney / Trump dinner

http://twitter.com/#!/MelanieDNC/status/205738189581860864

As Twitchy reported earlier, Team Romney is offering a chance for a dinner with Donald Trump. The Left quickly swung into absurd action.

Oh, dear. The pitiful “birther” label. That’s all you have, Democrats? November is looking good. Paging Brad Woodhouse, DNC communications director! This seems like good meltdown material for you…and here he is, natch.

Trump is peddling new birther conspiracy crap & @MittRomney's raising money with him? Guess a man who can fire people at will knows no shame

As Twitchy reported earlier, the intolerable Joan Walsh also cried about it.

Harvard students ‘overwhelmed and exhausted’ by Trump’s election launch free Resistance School

CNN is being a bit of a tease with its two tweets Monday promoting Harvard’s free, four-week “Resistance School” the tweets link to a story publishedlast week, so we’ve all already missed 25 percent of our training in resistingPresident Trump’s agenda.

The materials are still online, though, so it’s not too late to download the homework sheets and brainstorm a team name, like the “Fired-Up Milwaukee Grannies for Environmental Justice.”

These People Were Just Trying To Get To Work When This Monstrosity Opened Up

The workday commute is difficult enough without total disasters getting in the way.

I live less than eight blocks from the school where I teach and it still takes me almost 10 minutes to get to work. Since I only live in a mid-sized town, I can’t even begin to imagine the struggles of trying to get to work in a much larger hub like New York City or Philadelphia. While there are many ways I could go about bettering my daily commute, after seeing what improving the subway systems in this Japanese city could’ve just caused, I think I’ll stick to leaving a few minutes early.

Commuters in Fukuoka, Japan, were in for quite the delay when a large sinkhole opened up in the middle of the street.

The almost 100-foot-wide sinkhole is said to have started as two significantly smaller sinkholes before merging into the immense cavity pictured below.

Sewage quickly began filling the gap which is almost 50 feet deep.

While local authorities are still investigating the cause of the leak, subway crews were working just under 1,000 feet away from the split trying to extend an existing tunnel. Some say this could’ve contributed to the disaster.

Luckily, no one was injured because of the sinkhole, but many nearby residents were evacuated and roughly 170 households are still without power.

The five major roads surrounding the sinkhole site, located in the Fukuoka business district, have also been closed down until further notice. It is unknown if there was any major damage to surrounding gas lines, and investigations into potential gas leaks are still underway.

I don’t know about you, but that’s definitely not how I’d like to start my day.

CDC: NYC doctor Craig Spencer passed enhanced screening at airport

http://twitter.com/#!/CDCgov/status/525472737163485185

Ebowla patient Dr. Craig Spencer recently returned to the U.S. from the front lines of the Ebola crisis in West Africa. Upon his return, Dr. Spencer was subjected to “enhanced screening” at the airport, according to the CDC.

Tweeters drew the obvious conclusion:

Well, the conclusion is obvious to everyone except the CDC, apparently.

That was such a profound point that the CDC decided to tweet it again:

No kidding? Funny how that happens when a virus has an incubation period that lasts several weeks (at least).

So what exactly is the point of enhanced screening, again?
