Questions arise after a look at a politician's "tweetstream" ... Michelle Malkin has finally jumped into the #WeinerGate debate, offering a package of links and VIDEO!

Michelle has an idea as to what may have actually happened: "As a dedicated Twitter user myself, the most likely scenario is that Weiner himself mistakenly DM’ed (direct-messaged) the “prank” photo to the young woman in Seattle and intended it to be private. It takes just one wrong keystroke for a private DM to appear in one’s public timeline." We'll wait and see, I guess!

Here's a snippet, in case you find yourself blocked by one of those "pay walls" ---

Eli Pariser, the author of “The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding From You.” Personalization on the Web, he says, is becoming so pervasive that we may not even know what we’re missing: the views and voices that challenge our own thinking.

You know I limit the number of people I follow on twitter to 300. Look at what follows below: Should I think about cutting that number in half? Anyone? Aldon? Larry?

Some photos of a visitor to our home: a young squirrel, I belive orphaned (a car ran over an adult squirrel the night before this youngster happened along).

The squirrel hid under the front steps of the house next door, until growing confident that no harm would come its way.

Although the rodent was friendly, I didn't want it to lose its fear of humans. After taking a few snapshots, I stepped away.

Later on when it was gone from the immediate area, I sprinkled a few peanuts on the ground, in hopes if the creature was hungry this would sustain it for the time being.

What were the F-16s supposed to do?


Daily Mail

A United Airlines flight was forced into a dramatic emergency landing that cost the taxpayer thousands after two passengers started a fistfight over a reclined seat, it has emerged.

Fighter jets were scrambled with two F-16s escorting Flight 990 as it dumped fuel to lessen its weight in order to land on Sunday night.

The Boeing 767, from Washington's Dulles Airport bound for Accra in Ghana, had 144 people on board when the fight broke out, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said.

The whole "green" thing is a sham marketing term that the Left has latched onto to promote low-paying jobs for minorities for minorities putting up solar panels. Former Clinton Labor Secy Robert Reich famously said that the new green jobs shouldn't go to white construction workers. I would put up the video,but it's been wiped off the net.

The Hill

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) blasted President Obama on Tuesday for nominating John Bryson to be the next Commerce secretary, calling the decision "deeply out-of-touch with our current energy challenge."

Issa said Bryson is a "green evangelist" and took aim at the long-time energy company CEO for co-founding the Natural Resources Defense Council, a leading environmental group.

"With gas prices at nearly four dollars a gallon, it’s certainly eye-catching that President Obama has nominated a founder of an organization that opposes efforts to increase domestic oil production to serve as the nation’s key advocate for our economic interests," Issa said in a statement. "The nomination of John Bryson to lead the Department of Commerce seems deeply out-of-touch with our current energy challenge."

Looks like Weiner is getting hot under the collar with questions concerning Weinergate. To date, he hasn’t filed of police report of the alleged hack of his Twitter account.

That seems very strange to me.

Mediaite

One of Capitol Hill’s most media-friendly people, New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, seems to be souring on the subject of his Twitter account, brushing off questions about his Twitter feed and the photo of a man in his underwear that was sent from that account. “I’m not going to talk about this anymore,” Weiner said Tuesday afternoon, in an exchange with journalists CNN described as “angry.”
