Debate Tweets from Iowa Debate......Minus Donald Duck....We Mean Donald Trump......

Here are some tweets about tonight's Fox News Republican Party Debate moderated by Megyn Kelly, which caused Donald Duck/Trump not to attend; one of his main rivals Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is pictured top. That's a cow from the Iowa State Fair in the middle. And, of course, Donald Duck is at the bottom:

1) John Fugelsang (liberal): Carly Fiorina will make a great president as soon as she's done catching the DALMATIANS!!!

2) Hind Makki (Muslim woman activist): Does Ben Carson remember that many of the Founding Fathers were also slave-owners?

3) Megan McArdle (The Atlantic): Ben Carson closes by reading the preamble to the Constitution. Sadly, this is the strongest answer he has ever given in a debate.

4) Peter Suderman (Reason magazine): Rubio delivers every line as if it's part of an epic monologue. He's like Aaron Sorkin if Aaron Sorkin were a Republican.

5) Ana Marie Cox (liberal): Interesting, Fox News outsourced almost all of its questions about race and immigration to Youtube.

6) Meghan McCain (conservative): I like Jeb Bush for the first time in any debate.

7) Sally Kohn (CNN): Overall I thought the the debate questions were refreshing. The answers unsurprisingly less so.

8) Theodore R. Johnson: Ben Carson closed with a Constitutional Easter Special.

9) Jonathan V. Last (conservative): Can't believe moderators let that BS 'climate of hatred' Islamophobia question into the debate. Advantage Trump.

Normally, we try to keep these things a tad bit objective, but we liked the first tweet the best! 

Tweets on Events in Turkey, 3rd Entry

Here is our third entry on tweets posted within the the last 24 hours about the citizen uprisings throughout Turkey, which was started by environmentalists in the Taksim Square section of Istanbul, and has spread all over Anatolia.

There is one tweet here Ceylan Ozbudak, who is a female reporter for Al Arabiya, which seems like the Fox News off the Middle East as she actually defended the corrupt Turkish Prime Minsiter Recep Tayyip Erdogan at a time of tremendous national unity in opposition to the government in Ankara. The BBC is reporting that police have left the Gezi Park area where the protests originated:

1) ATAA (the main Turkish-American assembly): ATAA CALLS FOR RESTRAINT FROM ALL SIDES DURING PROTEST AND POLICE CLASHES IN ISTANBUL.

2) Emre Kizilkaya: "I saw that the people at #occupygezi are 'ordinary' people young and senior. They're the 99 percent.

3) Ceylan Ozbudak: "Those who think this a protest for democracy know what you are supporting. Communist flags all over Taksim" (she fails to mention that both the the secular right and secular left as well as political centrists are united in opposition to Erdogan).

4) Jose M. Calatayud: "I saw many ATMs damaged. Actually, I have ran out of cash and couldn't anywhere near near the centre."

5) Jeffrey Gibbs:"Yes, yes, but it seems Turkey just passes from one violent hand to another. If Erdogan goes, what comes in his place?" (Though this is a valid point, we differ with the opinion as any government would be better than the current far right Islamist regime)

6) Laetoli: "Access to Facebook in Turkey is blocked right now, we're afraid that Twitter may be blocked soon."

7) Haaretz.com: "Protestors defiant as #Turkey unrest goes into third day; more than 900 arrested ad 1,000 injured so far."
