I feel Twitter-pated!

I've been using my social networking program "Twitter" account a lot more since the Convention...that was the only way I could get info out of Invesco Field during the last day.

It's really easy to get breaking news out to folks this way. Does anyone else use it a lot and what do you find useful about it?

Tell me your Twitter ID in the comments so I can add you!

Toobz, I tell ya...

I loved this cartoon heading Progressive Alaska's Saturday Round-up!

The Firedoglake "Ted Fest" winners--and our hero, Phil Munger, delivering "toobz" to Ted's office

Video recorded by Dennis Zaki

So "Ted Fest" is at it's triumphant conclusion--yet much more triumphant than even it's creator, Phil Munger, could have expected; I don't think anyone believed it would end with an indictment!

Phil and intrepid reporter/videographer, Dennis Zaki, went to Stevens campaign office to deliver all of the poems wrapped up on a "series of toobz." Watch the video.

Oh, and here are the winners:

Haiku:

Ted Stevens glows at midnight.
Son already sunk.
Glaciers calving justice

--- Prairie Sunshine

Limerick:

Of all the congressional critters
Ted sure knows his Toobz and transmitters
His scandals are breakin
His booze, getting taken
And now there’s no wine-ing and bitters.

--- egregious

Short Verse and Ephemera:

Veni, vidi, Veco.

--- Valley Girl

Verse:

There are odd things done in the midnight sun
By the men whom Oil has sold
Their fishy tales meet with hearty gales
from wise heads when they are told
The FBI’s knights have recited some rights
but the queerest they ever had read
was that night by the mouse of a Girdwood house
that belonged to Senator Ted.

--- Darkblack

Overall Winner: - Darkblack!

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE and way-to-go Phil!!!!
