Shame we don't pay more attention to events like today's portrait ceremony at the White House. Acrimony-free, genuinely funny and touching. about 3 hours ago via TweetDeck
So I'm actually feeling real sympathy for Kathy Lee Gifford. Oh my my my my. An honest, horrible mistake....ugh. about 6 hours ago via TweetDeck
@ThePlumLineGS That's up to you. I'll let you define "fair." (I'd suggest 7/15/09: Obama's "Give it to me" speech) cc: @ByronYork about 7 hours ago via TweetDeck in reply to ThePlumLineGS
@ByronYork The answer I'd sincerely like from @ThePlumLineGS is "At what point do jobs become this admin's 'fault?'" We can go from there. about 8 hours ago via TweetDeck in reply to ByronYork

@ThePlumLineGS Still curious at what point do job losses/gains become this administration's as opposed to inherited? about 8 hours ago via TweetDeck in reply to ThePlumLineGS

@JonahNRO Best part of Costco: Building the little fort out of bails of toilet paper and paper towels. (Or is that just something I do?) 12:32 PM May 30th via TweetDeck in reply to JonahNRO
@ahess247 That warrants a very nerdly "DUDE!" (And Sorkin was a good interview. I'm just talking "people I'd like at a tech confab.") 12:24 PM May 30th via TweetDeck in reply to ahess247
@ahess247 Off the top of my head? Joss Whedon. Avengers has nerd appeal and Cabin in the Woods is brilliant mix of tech meets genre pic. 12:21 PM May 30th via TweetDeck in reply to ahess247
@ahess247 Thanks. I am. Have enjoyed it but I'm still not sure Sorkin is the writer I'd wish for at a tech confab. 12:14 PM May 30th via TweetDeck in reply to ahess247
