The saga of Lizz Winstead’s missing iPad

It is kinda maddening to watch your ipad move around. #LAXThief

HERE IS MY IPAD http://t.co/JZZ5Tuj9 HERE IS ME http://t.co/rhw2GPGm

Lizz Winstead is a comedienne and political satirist who is best known for co-creating The Daily Show. We are aware that she’s politically liberal, but there are times to set aside politics and appreciate good tweeting.  Besides, even liberals have property rights.

We hope LAX security is able to recover the purloined iPad and return it to Winstead.

Update:  Turns out the missing  iPad isn’t at LAX after all.  It is at an airport in Orlando, Fla. We gather Winstead left her iPad on a plane and is angry because Delta Airlines failed to locate it. Now someone — Winstead doesn’t know who — is walking around Orlando Airport with her iPad.

Update, Not LAX, Orlando. Terminal B. Delta people lied and said they checked the plane. That plane left for Orlando with my Ipad.

Is it possible that someone removed the iPad from the plane before Delta searched for it? Nope:

@TwitchyTeam It was never removed. They said they checked and that the plane was now on it's way to Orlando. Now Ipad inOrlando

If we left an iPad on a plane, we would pretty much write it off.  But we hope Winstead is able to get hers back.

Update: She’s getting it back!

OMG! iPad now on its way back to LA! Scheduled to arrive 845.

On MSNBC, Nicolle Wallace, panel discuss “Game Change,” Wallace declares that she didn’t vote for McCain/Palin

Palin calls it fiction, Wallace says it’s an incredibly accurate portrayal. Let the games begin. Watch the video at MSNBC:

The new HBO film version of “Game Change” reveals even more secrets about the 2008 campaign. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell talks to former McCain-Palin advisor Nicolle Wallace about the new movie and her decision not to vote for Sarah Palin. Plus, director Jay Roach and author John Heilemann join The Last Word with reaction.

If you’re interested in finding out what Kony 2012 is, stick around for the next auto-played video.

Game change is produced by HBO, which also created the short feature Space Traders.

‘Give it up, champ’: Matt Yglesias can’t dig their way to avoid it of ‘Sopranos’ Vox-hole

http://twitter.com/#!/BobbyBigWheel/status/504790726446964736

As Twitchy reported, these days, Vox published the big news that “Sopranos” creator David Chase verified that Tony Soprano didn’t perish inside finale. Annnnnnd they immediately ended up with egg on their face.

However for just what it’s well worth, Matt Yglesias is trying to perform interference:

Oh, bless their li’l heart.

Vox: David Chase reveals exactly what occurred inside finale. Chase: No I didn’t Vox: It’s not for you to decide, shut-up.— John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) August 28, 2014

It’s enjoyable to view Yglesias backpedal. It’s a lot more fun to call him out on it:

Fail: Obama: ‘Step in right direction,’ ‘Don’t read too much into it’

http://twitter.com/#!/KurtSchlichter/status/221284305748500480

As Twitchy reported earlier, the White House pulled the old “don’t read too much into it” when talking about the latest jobs report. Oh, yeah, and they have used the same line thirty times in just the past 32 months. Someone needs to recalibrate that teleprompter!

Twitter users immediately, and deservedly, began to mock the phrase.

I didn't read too much into any one jobs report, but added together their starting to form a picture of suckitude.

They also called out President Obama for his insanely out of touch “step in the right direction” remark.

@bccohan @rcmahoney Yeah yeah, step in the right direction, blah blah blah. Really? #doingjustfine

If Obama thinks this is "a step in the right direction" it means he's totally, hopelessly lost. #newGPS "@hale_razor: #StepInRightDirection"

This is a #StepInTheRightDirection, @BarackObama? I think you stepped in something, all right, because I can smell it from here.

The RNC was out in front with a rapid response.

Step in the right direction? No, champ. That will happen in November.
