Twittermania

Some old guy from Iowa named Sen. Chuck Grassley claims he tweets, but I don't think he could pick up the inherent inanity so easily. I think it was his great-granddaughter hired to do the job. Someone should check his office payroll records.
Meanwhile, Wonkette comments:
Remember back in 1780-something, when we had actual smart people writing our founding documents in beautiful longhand when they weren't inventing new kinds of ploughs and bifocals and shit? Now our nation's top legislators just type away like petulant teenage girls, with their thumbs, about how the president is so awful for spending the weekend in Paris. We are all stupider for having read this.

    Aside from a little sexism snark, Wonkette has it right. Reminds me of the term, "new-fangled"; why is there no term "old-fangled"? We say "old fashioned" instead. There comes a point in life when we begin to see all the things that we haven't known for most of our lives.

    It's all part of the "oneness".
