Russian history was forever altered on this day back in 1918 when the entire Romanov family, Nicholas II his wife and their five children, were executed. Ironically July 17th is also the day Catherine II had her husband Peter III of Russian assassinated back in 1762. On a much lighter note, David Hasselhoff of Baywatch and Knight Rider fame was born on this day in 1952.
- If this is the product of the “new media” machine that RNC Chair Michael Steele promised… Well, I think it’s safe to say Democrats have nothing to fear from the “new media” arm of the RNC. Oh, by the way, 1998 called and it wants it’s web site back! All that’s missing is some scrolling text and animated .gifs! #tcot though!
- Speaking of poor uses of technology, conservative talk radio host Mark Belling doesn’t “follow” anyone on Twitter. Apparently, it’s just an infrequently used vehicle to share his insight like “Obama is a twit” and “Sprint is a twit” or real gems like, “Mark Belling Is Unbelievably Awesome”. Seriously. The morning host on WISN, Jay Weber, doesn’t follow anyone either. #tcot!
- Good to see the Brewers swinging the bats last night in their 9-6 victory over the Reds in Cincinnati. One game, and one series at a time.
Have a great weekend!
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and sons Carter and Colton.
That site is horrid. What are these jokers thinking? I was sitting around the RebuildTheParty.com ning site for a while, and all they were yapping about is how they lost the election because they weren’t on facebook and twitter enough. Yeah, that was it. It wasn’t the 8 years of doing the opposite of what you campaigned on. It was because you didn’t send enough tweets. I know I base my voting decision on whose Facebook page looks cooler.
And we’ll see if your luck continues vs the Reds! We haven’t quite done our typical mid-season nosedive yet, so you may have some minor competition.
Looks like the kind of intellectual talk the Belling fans crave.
Who would follow anyone on Twitter? Seriously, who really cares? I’ve been on twitter 2 times and thought it was a bore.
