http://twitter.com/#!/malloryjn/status/181380246187155456

From ABC:

Beyond the pints of Guinness and corned beef and cabbage, folks have something else to eat while celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. This weekend, Burger King is offering free french fries and green sauce to customers who visit any of its locations.

The green sauce is called “St. Paddy’s Sauce” and has the same consistency of ketchup. “We’re especially excited to have teamed up with Heinz, makers of America’s Favorite Ketchup, to offer a fun and festive green dipping sauce on the side,” said Alex Macedo, senior vice president of North America marketing in a statement.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg signs ban on e-cigarettes; What’s next?

Outgoing New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed 22 bills today, one of which bans the use of e-cigarettes anywhere smoking is prohibited.

Although some say they use e-cigarettes to help them kick the real thing, Bloomberg has said the electronic cigarette “works about as well as patches, which is to say it really doesn’t work.”

@LifeOfJuIia parody account suspended

http://twitter.com/#!/TajGarcia/status/198506972222472192

In this case, however, we’re pretty sure the suspension has nothing to with silencing conservatives.

Amidst all the #Juliagate goings-on yesterday, a Twitter parody account was created. Since then, @LifeOfJuIia had built up a pretty solid following. This afternoon, though, several people noticed that the account had been suspended. In light of the recent rash of account suspensions, it was not such a leap to suggest that Twitter had also allowed abusers to shut down the parody account.

But here’s what we think happened: the parody account’s handle is actually written as @LifeOfJuIia, where the L in “Julia” has been replaced with a capital I (“eye”). The @LifeOfJulia account, in which the L in “Julia” is in fact an L, belongs to a woman in Sweden. As the parody account increased in popularity, more and more people tweeted at the Swedish woman by mistake and her account was bombarded by tweets from people she didn’t know. To her, it seemed that she was the target of spammers, and so it would make sense that Twitter might suspend the account that initiated the problem.

We could be wrong, of course, but right now, it appears that #Julia’s Twitter account was an unfortunate casualty of look-alike letters.

‘You’re worse than HITLER!’ The Simpsons EXPERTLY trolls liberal universities and SJWs (video)

The Simpsonshas been cracking us up by mocking real life for nearly 30 years (yeah, we are SO OLD people) so it’s no surprise they found a way to make fun of Social Justice Warriors and liberal Universities.

Although let’s be honest, most of these folks do a fine job of making a mockery of themselves already:
