Drudge's pictures now are … interesting. Proceed with caution.

— Matt Welch (@mleewelch) September 26, 2012

The whole world is filled with apparently limitless bad development. We could all use some pick-me-up. Enter Matt Drudge, which plastered the Drudge Report with hilarious photos of a few of the scariest political winky-faces you’ll ever before see:

And, as with a beneficial horror movie, the greater creeped-out we have, the greater amount of we enjoy ourselves:

Hi Drudge, just what's aided by the winks? Made me laugh.

At Occupy, Out: Drum circles In: Dance circles

http://twitter.com/#!/jopauca/status/197342481610838019

Instead of hopping in a dance circle, looks like they should hop in a shower.

Dance wherever you are! Plus, guitars!

The guitars are starting to trickle into Bryant Park! #M1NYC #NYCGS #OWS

Dissent is patriotic again? Sheesh. Can’t keep up.

Sing along to some of these ditties.

"Workers of the world awaken. Break your chains, demand your rights. All the wealth you make is taken, by exploiting parasites." – Joe Hill

— Occupy Wall Street (@OccupyWallStNYC) May 1, 2012

Um. Y’all might want to look in the mirror regarding that parasite thing. And we aren’t just talking about to check for scabies.

— Occupy Wall Street (@OccupyWallStNYC) May 1, 2012

you've got to indicate to the people who run it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!" – Mario Savio

— Occupy Wall Street (@OccupyWallStNYC) May 1, 2012

You have to work first in order to do that, no? But, hey, keep dancing! That’s totally productive.

http://twitter.com/#!/thickSLICING/status/524707606007652353

Well, let’s take a look. Here’s the headline and article from TIME:

Oh, you clustering conservatives and your Fox News obsession and stuff! But, wait … how on earth could it be explained?

And then there’s this:

Bingo. Media bias anyone? How awkward, TIME.

Matt Yglesias: ‘Trust Russell Brand’ on economics of debt relief

http://twitter.com/#!/xbradtc/status/527999954887790592

Sometimes it seems Vox is trying to use sheer morbid curiosity to drive traffic to their site. Why else hire Matt Yglesias?

That’s what we thought at first too, but no.

Trust Russell Brand, not this condescending professor, on the economics of debt relief

Heh.

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

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:

Not doing fine: Sad news; Restaurant owner dies after serving President Obama; Update: President Obama phones her daughter

http://twitter.com/#!/NathanWurtzel/status/221320429896351744

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.

— jon gabriel (@exjon) July 6, 2012

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.
