Lunch Break

FYI: "Chicago Slim" beat "The Shape Shifter" in Liberal Rapture's poll to give BHO a permanent nick name. 55%-45%

Moving on to Michelle: Here's a poll for fun - and yes I am perfectly willing to be offensive - sort of like it actually - all i can say is GET OVER IT. And in honor of Chicago, vote as many times as you like:

Two things on the A.D.D. Front: Rapture Headlines focuses on stories I find either amusing, aggravating or just worthy of a drive by...with direct links. As of Sunday, I am also now on Twitter - here....my young computer friend tells me it is the future of blogging.... a proposition I find horrifying.... like saying Chicken Mcnuggets is the future of food. I did post a pic of myself looking rather intent in a how the hell did I end up being a small town college English professor? sort of way- I know everyone THOUGHT I looked like a Brad Pitt/Alexander the Great DNA splice... (and I did until the accident)...but alas - truth will out...

If you "tweet" you can follow me on twitter- which may or many not keep my interest. Something about the name "twitter" makes me feel so helpless...And also prompts me to ask -

How long before the term "Twitter stalker" emerges?

If I tweet in the head - am I in the Twitter Shitter?

If I let the some one else tweet for me - are they my designated Twitter Hitter.

Chicago Slim - good voice, great smile, no core: His set speeches have a peculiar detached quality about them
