Obama won’t like this boom-tweet from Greta Van Susteren, so here it is [pic]
What sparked that wow? As Twitchy has continued to report, U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi is still being held in Mexico for allegedly making a wrong turn and accidentally entering Mexico.
There is a hearing today, but hopes aren’t high.
http://twitter.com/#!/RF_Benitez/status/506957824396517376Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with this brave American.
Greta Van Susteren has been tireless in trying to bring this to the president’s attention. Will THIS help?
http://twitter.com/#!/gretawire/status/509350239711805440Do you see that, Obama?

This climate march photo-slam tweet featured in NY Post is awesome
The tweet pointing out the utter hypocrisy of trash-leaving climate marchers was featured in this New York Post article:
Climate change marchers love the earth, litter on the streets http://t.co/qgY8hL3nWg
— New York Post (@nypost) September 22, 2014
The tweet? It’s beautiful:
Litter left by the #PeopleClimateMarch. Their love for the earth is so real, they couldn't even use a trash can. pic.twitter.com/uhB7JxBN8f
— C (@chelsea_elisa) September 21, 2014
It has been retweeted well over 1,000 times and rightly so.
@chelsea_elisa @AngryCBrown Typical liberal hypocrisy.
— Joan Farouqi (@pasandkat) September 21, 2014
Yep.
But, wait … stupidity enters the mix too.
@chelsea_elisa @AmericaHipple Maybe, but poor photo to demonstrate. Note green straw sticking out the side – it IS a garbage can, just full
— Timothy Choi (@TimmyC62) September 21, 2014
Um.
@TimmyC62 @AmericaHipple that's not a garbage can that's a mailbox.
— C (@chelsea_elisa) September 21, 2014
Reality is hard.
As for the sure-to-happen hate aimed at the Twitter user for daring to speak the truth? Stay tuned.

Actress Viola Davis played a maid in the film “The Help,” and during “How to Get Away with Murder,” her new show on ABC, People magazine published this tweet:
viola will always be a maid to some people, and that's extremely unfortunate. @peoplemag pic.twitter.com/6rC12e19Sc
— Tracy Clayton (@brokeymcpoverty) September 26, 2014
After some heavy criticism, People deleted and apologized for the tweet:
Apologies for the earlier tweet. We love HTGAWM & The Help, where that quote was from. But it was stupid & insensitive. Won't happen again.

‘OH the Jesus!’ Did lifeless giraffe spark Joyce Carol Oates’ many outrageous tweet yet?
Demonstrably, because was each day shutting-in “y.” Exactly what sparked that tweet regarding the girl latest idiocy? In fact, as Twitchy reported, a great youthful giraffe through the entire Copenhagen Zoo had been shot to demise. Officials stated it turned-out to avoid inbreeding and the headlines sparked a bizarre comedy system from Axl Rose.

Hack-tastic Neil deGrasse Tyson tweet sparks a hashtag: #TysonTweets
And what’s the deal with airline food?
Sometimes people just can’t handle how brilliant astrophysicist/Reddit messiah Neil deGrasse Tyson is. When he’s not making up presidential quotes or looking for venues in which to apologize for doing so, he’s dropping scientific brain busters like this.
If Detroit added a pro-sports team & called it the Bears, the City could boast it was home to the Lions and Tigers and Bears.

No apology from MSNBC for claim ‘conservatives’ attacked biracial family
Bingo.
In a now-deleted tweet, MSNBC predicted “the rightwing” would hate a cute Cheerios ad featuring a biracial family. MSNBC executive editor Richard Wolffe absurdly claimed that his race-baiting network’s race-baiting tweet was “not who we are at MSNBC.”
http://twitter.com/#!/michellemalkin/status/428752930531864576MSNBC may have issued an apology for the tweet — the network’s totally sorry it got caught — but what about the article to which it linked?
http://twitter.com/#!/thehiredmind/status/428735821135372288 http://twitter.com/#!/KristinnFR/status/428739226016837632When first published, the article included this sentence (emphasis ours):
http://twitter.com/#!/BecketAdams/status/428699506864308225 http://twitter.com/#!/nilgirian/status/428705053008859137Before MSNBC apologized for its repulsive tweet, it quietly memory-holed that version of the text. Here’s how it appears now:
The breakfast cereal’s new Super Bowl ad features the same fictional biracial family that sparked a backlash last year.
Oh, so there wasn’t a “conservative” backlash? Minds. Blown.
Here’s the even more telling part: MSNBC didn’t bother apologizing for that smear of conservatives. No retraction, no correction statement, no acknowledgment of the foul accusation. The slimy, sneaky editors just tried to disappear the evidence after conservatives turned up the heat.
Too bad Gateway Pundit has screenshots, huh guys?
You can also view MSNBC’s intended message in the article synopsis embedded in the next two screenshots:
http://twitter.com/#!/nilgirian/status/428716468339892224Go ahead and own this blurb, MSNBC: “Cheerios’ new Super Bowl ad features the same fictional biracial family that sparked a conservative backlash last year.”
http://twitter.com/#!/nilgirian/status/428718783566336000Where’s the faux-pology for that? Oh, right. There isn’t one because that hateful, lying bilge is what MSNBC is all about.
Sorry, MSNBC. Love wins.
[Update]
According to this screenshot, the original MSNBC article also predicted “an outcry from the right.”

‘Smug, patronising and ignorant’: Delta slammed for ‘racist’ World Cup tweet
Delta’s tweet celebrating the USA’s 2‑1 win over Ghana in the World Cup today consists of two beautiful images. Unfortunately for the person who posted it, the lovely giraffe is nowhere to be found in Ghana. (Maybe they have one or two in a zoo?)
