Yes...I'm On Twitter.
— Jack M.

Drew M. "outed" my twitter account earlier. Yes, I started one last night in the hopes that I, too, could converse with the Edward R. Murrow of our generation.

Sadly, I got to the fight too late to engage with the host of a television show that may not even be on the air 90 days from now, given the rate it's hemorrhaging viewers. My chance may have come and gone.

I mean....coming in second to that dude, Rachel Maddow? Really? I don't think that bodes well for coming sweeps periods.

Don't look now Keefums, but Nancy Grace is in your rearview mirror and gaining fast.

In any event, my account is @jackmcoldcuts. And, yes, I am following @SuzanneSena already, so I don't need any more e-mails telling me that she has an account.

Like I didn't already know.

So sign up if you want. You will want to be there when I turn it into the longest running epic poem in the world. Can beauty/great art be tweeted 140 characters at a time?

The world may soon find out.

Only the top poets can do it.  Are you one?

How can you mention Maddow, and 'Sweep(s)'-ing in the same sentance without the obligatory 'Karate Kid' quote?

"Sweep the Leg!"

3 Why does everyone include Murrow as a journalistic hero? Keep in mind that the MSM is the one who anointed him with that when there was no competition.

he have found out later that his hit piece on McCarthy was all BS and he was just another leftist talking head in the media just like Walter Cronkite.

I plan on wrapping ALL of the Tweets in Pink Bubble Wrap so it can be seen from space. 

It will be my greatest work to date.

As you point out, most of it is legend, but he did at least go into harm's way to report first hand on the blitz in London- unlike some of his latter day acolytes *cough* Johnny Apple *cough* who filed their reports from the safety of a barroom far behind the lines.

9 Why does everyone include Murrow as a journalistic hero?

His wartime reporting is pretty amazing.

But libs, of course, love his denunciation of McCarthy.

I'm tyrying to figure out how to Tweet my Menstrual Artwork. 

 Once that smell gets on my Twitter Account, I'll be getting Rachel Maddow followers by the score!

I Tweet while I sheet.

 Viola! - Art.

12 OK, I'll give him the wartime thing.

BTW, I am old enough to remember his TV show and always trusted him, as I trusted Cronkite.

Later After I started finding out the "rest of the story" I felt betrayed and it destroyed any trust I had in the MSM because those two guys were supposedly the most trusted of the media.

13 See...this is a thought my think-mind has been contem-mulling. KO made fun of Drew for having 500 followers vs. KO's 50,000. If I start an exceedingly bad "epic tweet project", how long do you think it would take to pass KO's total? Because if people will follow a stinking pile of epic poetweets, (think Finnegan's Wake + L33T speak) doesn't that kind of prove that people will follow pretty much anything? Like, for example, KO?

Your first objective on twitter is to provoke a catfight between Suzanne Sena and @JulieBanderas.

Now if you really wanted to mess with Keith, you could write epic poems about Rachel Maddow's ratings and other attributes.

Keefums should start praying to his dear and fluffy lord that NG doesn't catch him. I'd almost pity him at that point.

Almost...
