I'm cooking. Yes, I love to cook & I'm pretty darn good at it. Off to grocery store."</I><BR/><BR/>I am enjoying following some of the big names on twitter.. interesting what some of them share.kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611349311706484451.post-15840649733501804542009-03-07T08:59:00.000-05:002009-03-07T08:59:00.000-05:00Who is the real McCain of twitter Matt?1) SenJohnM...Who is the real McCain of twitter Matt?<BR/><BR/>1) SenJohnMcCain<BR/>2) JohnMcCain<BR/>3) McCainNews<BR/>4) youngjohnmccain<BR/><BR/>Probably not fakejohnmccain<BR/><BR/>Alas, I went with #1 like you did Matt.kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611349311706484451.post-47754103661847514732009-03-06T11:05:00.000-05:002009-03-06T11:05:00.000-05:00Karen - Thanks; as you can tell, I'm really enjoyi...Karen - Thanks; as you can tell, I'm really enjoying doing it.<BR/><BR/>Dad - Don't think it means hiding it; I think that it's just making the earmarks a bit more palatable!<BR/><BR/>KB - McCain is actually doing his own; that's the only reason I signed up. I also signed up for Mark Warner (freshman senator from here in Virginia) - you can definitely tell which ones are doing their own. As far as the earmarks, the GOP is in fact responsible for 40 percent of them - and both parties can equally share blame for the shape we're in right now. McCain certainly is one who can argue against them, since he has not asked for a single earmark in his entire congressional career. The thing that really aggravates me is folks like Sen. Kyl, who - when confronted this week on Fox News Sunday about his own earmark requests - responded that his requests didn't fall under the strict definition of earmarks. That's going to play really well.NoVA Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661990626635939447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611349311706484451.post-35419371678758656512009-03-06T10:15:00.000-05:002009-03-06T10:15:00.000-05:00I am following local senator McCaskill on twitter....I am following local senator McCaskill on twitter.. I like that she tweets personal and govt stuff. Does McCain actually tweet or does a staffer tweet for him? I try to stay away from ghost tweeters as well as marketing ones. I'd love to follow McCain if he does his own tweets.<BR/><BR/>I heard that the minority party (the GOP) is responsible for 40% of earmarks.. have you heard that Matt? If true then McCain probably has a bit of GOP work to do.. hard to change the Dems when you can't change the GOP>kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611349311706484451.post-24140822996382575902009-03-06T10:09:00.000-05:002009-03-06T10:09:00.000-05:00How about the "swine odor improvement" section!! ...How about the "swine odor improvement" section!!
