Tweets of the Day and Night: Damascus is Causing Problems

With images of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria, and Secretary of State John Kerry, we begin our tweets of the day about the sensitive matter regarding possible military intervention in Syria, which I personally support as I feel if the late American folk singer John Denver were to support a war, it would be this one.

Let's go:

1) The New Republic @tnr (a center-left magazine): "As long as the Christian population is ok, Rand Paul seems unconcerned with #Syria's fate."

2) The Daily Edge @TheDailyEdge: "Republicans express concern that Obama plan for #Syria doesn't slip in any multi-billion-dollar no-bid contracts for Haliburton."

3) Hurriyet Daily News @HDNER: #Russia says strike on #Syria could mean nuke disaster. (Hurriyet is a Turkish newspaper with Turkish and English editions).

4) Slate @slate: Congressional Republicans now using the example of Iraq to oppose #Syria

5) Free Syria Media Hub @FSA_Media_Hub: "Obama, Putin Handshakes and Smiles at G20 Summit."

6) The Onion @TheOnion, this is a satirical journal: Obama assures Americans this will not be another 1456 Ottoman seige of Belgrade. (Our favorite tweet of the day).

7) @TodaysZamancom: Turkey says Syria strikes should aim for regime collapse. (Zaman is a Turkish newspaper with Turkish and English editions).

8) The Nation @TheNation, which is a liberal American political magazine: "Media Question Kerry's mysterious 1,429 death toll in Syria."

9) Jason Chaffetz @jasoninthehouse, Cong. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) is known for his social media savvy: "Utah delegation not sold on Syria air strikes."

10) John McCain @SEnJohnMcCain: "Another scripted town hall on #Syria in #Tucson this afternoon with lots of participation and great t-shirts!"

11) The Colbert Report (an American satirical tv show): "29% of Americans want the U.S. to attack #Syria; plus side means 29% of Americans know there's a place called Syria."

12) Plaid_Seida (Plaid Seda is president of the Syrian National Council, and an opposition activist): "I am still in Istanbul, Turkey. I wish I could be at the G-20 summit, convincing world leaders to help #FreeSyria."

Silly Image to Fill Space: Things Republicans Like

Yeah, we thought we'd make fun of 'our good friends,' such as Cong. Eric Cantor (R-Va) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky) with an image of something that is sacred and dear to most right-wing nutcases' hearts: the American chainsaw.

If one is looking to purchase this item from a hardware store in Charlotte, NC, where the 2012 National Democratic Convention was held, one can find them at the Oakhurst Sales Company on Monroe Road and Certified Lawn Mowers on Nations Crossing Road.

Conversely, the same thing can be found in Tampa, Fla, where the Republicans met, at M&M Lawn Mowers on North Armenia Avenue.

Remembering Sept. 11th on Its' 11th Anniversary

Today, we remember the 2,977 victims of Sept. 11th with the images of Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), one of the most liberal members of the U.S. Senate, and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky), the son of Ron Paul, who tried to seek the Republican nomination for president, who is considered to be one of the most conservative member of the senate chambers, to show that even in this time of great political differences, we can all come together to remember what happened on that day and the memories of those who lost their lives on this day 11 years ago.http://www.wtcmemorial.org
