Hurricane Irene Quote of the Day

“I’m very, very calm and pretty relaxed and laid-back – pretty much the opposite of a hurricane.  I guess that’s funny,” - Irene Tien, who has owned @Irene since 2006 and recently became inundated with tweets.

If this is the standard, we all have been abused

White Whine, indeed.

Privileged Tweet of the Day

Thanks to White Wine, I will begin a new series dedicated to tweets, Facebook statuses, and other gripes by the priviledged few. Enjoy!

Got to love it.

Top 10 Misused English Words

Listverse has a great (and informative) list:

8 -Enormity

“Enormity” means “extreme evil”, but it’s often used to mean “enormousness”. US President, George HW Bush missed this one when he said after being elected that he “Couldn’t believe the enormity of the situation.” A perfect example of irony (which, in the context I have just used it, is correct).

Bill Maher jokes on a few small Palin gaffe’s. Her unknowingly being that close to Romney may be a side effect of her spur-of-the-moment/secretively scheduled tour.

A Joke About the CIA, FBI and KGB

From the Dish, some political humor:

The KGB, the FBI and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at catching criminals. The Secretary General of the UN decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it. The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that the rabbit does not exist. The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and make no apologies: the rabbit had it coming. The KGB goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling: “Okay! Okay! I’m a rabbit! I’m a rabbit!”
