Things We Learned on Twitter This P.M.-Lumberjack for Congress?!




Many political media outlets reported on Twitter today that hill veteran Cong. Dave Obey (D-Wisc.) is vacating a seat he has held since 1969.

Enter Sean Duffy, 38, a Republican congressman-wannabe who initially became famous for being on "Real World Boston" which aired on MTV in 1997. But, Duffy's biggest claim-to-fame might be that he is a three-time-world champion lumberjack! (I must credit dailycaller.com for reporting this tidbit).

Duffy is also the district attorney for Ashland County, Wisc.

This could be an interesting race?! After all, the Republicans have a former "Cosmo" coverboy in the Congress with Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.). Would this be any more ridicilous?

SIDEBAR: "The Vancouver Sun" is (yikes!) reporting that those of who suffer from a lack of sleep may in fact be headed to an early grave. Does this just affect Canadians? (Of course, we are kidding).
