Twittering Twits on Countdown with Keith Olbermann

Last night on “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” on MSNBC, there was a pretty interesting confab between host Keith Olbermann (who is probably not @keitholbermann, based on some comments he made) and Craig Crawford (@craig_crawford) a columnist for CQPolitics.com (@cqpolitics).

@cqpolitics actually live-twittered their conversation, but they did so without using @’s for Craig or other twitterers that were mentioned, such as @clairecmc (Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri)–FAIL!

Claire does turn out to give good tweet. Here’s a really fine example of honest and thus compelling twitterature…

Further big points, from reading her other tweets, for her abbrevs & tpyos! All parents that don’t want to embarrass their children (of all ages) on Twitter (or Facebook) should follow her and take notes!

You can find out if your own US Rep and Senators have an official Twitter orifice by checking out Tweet Congress which not only lists all the congresspersons that have @’s, but also has running petitions directed at those who don’t to nag them into getting on to where it’s @.

Mikl-em

Actor, nerd, poet, producer, writer mikl-em made his name short so you wouldn't have to. In addition to his blog you can find his writing in "Hi Fructose" magazine and witness him almost life-sized in various plays at The Dark Room Theater in SF's Mission district.

He tends to write about theater, humor, San Francisco culture and history, and stuff that's just plain weird. He thanks Scott for sharing the keys to the Laughing Squid virtual HQ and promises to uphold whatever it is that the mirthful cephalopod would prefer to be uplifted.
