Twitter Wars!
Friend (of mine) got blocked by @KeithOlbermann, yesterday. (Facebook)
And Joan Walsh accused me of not being a real Wisconsinite.
The bone of contention was an article that she was touting, about how well the unions were performing in Wisconsin. (@joanwalsh: Labor wins the day in Wisconsin -- despite MSM blackout http://bit.ly/eAY5Ym)
Me: @joanwalsh Don't you realize that the audience that counts in Wisconsin is Wisconsinites, and that "labor" is suiciding, there?
Joan: @vermontaigne Prove it.
Me: @joanwalsh Take a look at the polls from in state, then take a look at the polls on Tuesday, Joan.
Joan: @vermontaigne Thanks for your insight from Vermont!
Me: @joanwalsh I grew up there. My family is there. Most of my lifetime friends are there. I daresay I know more about the place than you.
Joan: @vermontaigne I daresay. That's why you put vermont in your screen name? #wiunion You're posing, my friend
So, there you have it. I'm a fake Badger. Joan Walsh says so. And she's been in the shit: first repro-health exam at Milwaukee Planned Parenthood!
Honey Badger don't care!
More: Madison union supporters claim that "Fox News lies!" chant is a lie invented by Fox News.
What demented blogger slouches off to The Daily Beast to be reborn?
The funniest thing on teh intartubes yesterday (IMO) was none of the wonderful Oscars tweets assembled by Dede, below, but this line from Andrew Sullivan's announcement that he was leaving the Atlantic to write at The Daily Beast:
Now we will ride a new Beast into a new decade.
TMI. But definitely NOT Honey Badger!

I can attest that mon brother, Daniel P Collins, is in fact a cheesehead. In fact, he was a cheesehead before there was such a thing.

Give it up, Enoch. I have “Vermont” in my Twitter handle. She’s on to us.

Hmmm. Yeah, he hasn’t responded to me in a long time. His posts have lacked his wonted sweetness for awhile, too, so I think that it’s a good thing he’s taking 10 days off from the internet. I think that the injury and the hassle have really ground him down.

If Rahm Emmanuel can move out of Chicago and still be a resident, why can’t someone live in Vermont and still be a Cheesehead?
Oh, I forgot. Apologies to Dan for confusing him with a Democrat!!

Thanks Dan, but I have no interest in reading more about Sully’s colorful and wide ranging sex life. I suppose the milky loads theme does fit in with life north of the Cheese Curtain, so you’ve got that connection going for you at least.

Dan, what does Joan Walsh know about milky loads, cheese curds and Andrew Sullivan, anyway?
Gah, special place in hell for that question.

So Joanie’s Baloney™ extends into all of the facets of her existence, including the twitterverse. Somehow I’m not surprised. Like many on the port side of the ideological spectrum she projects the ability with which she lies onto others…
I’m guessing that she also stands in front of mirrors repeating a variation of “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest/hippest/wittiest/inciteful/brilliant of them all…except, of course, for Obamma”…
