Lounge: Hey Moose Wanna See a Chirp Story? Adept2u v Nicole Sandler

MOOOOOOOSE

Ok so I’m becoming addicted to Twitter.   The thing that so fascinated me about the internet when I first achieved high speed access was the ability to almost instantly talk to mega watt smart people.  I chat with people from Astrophysicists to The Rev. Al Sharpton who read my tweet on the air Friday regarding Black conservatives.  

@TheRevAl a Black man voting conservative in this day and age is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders #southernstrategy

Heh, Anyhow as I jumped into the Twitterpool I pretty much rushed to follow opinion makers etc. from my side of the political spectrum I could think of but there were a few people who were pretty much always on my follow list and one was The Angry Black Lady.  http://www.angryblacklady.com/  A person I’ve pretty much always read from that magical high speed days, but more than that despite her name and reputation a truly sweet person who provided support for me when I got the ban hammer from the DK.

So anyway I’m following Nicole Sandler for the above reason and she’s going all in on the recent Defense Authorization.  Now I will admit and would have that I replied initially to the wrong tweet.  The tweet I meant to respond to actually asked the question am I wrong.  Anyhow it appears the ole Moose don’t want to embed the chirp story so here’s a link  http://chirpstory.com/li/3462

You know what’s funny?  Had she not feigned ignorance of the English language at the start and merely stated the analogy hurt her feelings I would have apologized immediately.  I would have tripped on how a public figure gets so angry at being called colorfully wrong, but they don’t call them the “professional left” for no reason do they?

    Facebook is enough social networking for me so far. I have folks in my feed that I talk to on occasion that I like and admire–Candye Kane, Steven Barnes, and a few others. George Takei slays me.

    It is perhaps the immediacy that takes me aback a bit. I tend to ponder and ruminate a bit, and Twitter’s limitation on responses maybe takes me back a bit. I may not have the attention span to keep on a feed to keep up either. Either way, it’s not really a medium that I use.  I see its utility, in theory, but it’s just not how I tend to operate. Not that there’s anything wrong with the medium, or those who find it useful, but I don’t think that it’s a medium for me.

    I think that it takes a certain kind of person to use Twitter. A certain mindset, and certainly, a particular kind of connectivity.

    Chris —

    Early this morning, the last of our troops left Iraq.

    As we honor and reflect on the sacrifices that millions of men and women made for this war, I wanted to make sure you heard the news.

    Bringing this war to a responsible end was a cause that sparked many Americans to get involved in the political process for the first time. Today’s outcome is a reminder that we all have a stake in our country’s future, and a say in the direction we choose.

    Thank you.

    Barack
