Hugh Hefner to wed (again)
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, 84, announced this weekend he will be marrying his latest girlfriend, Crystal Harris, 24. Hefner reportedly proposed on Christmas day. The 60 year age difference doesn't seem to bother the happy couple--Hefner gets a new girlfriend and Harris gets the cover of Playboy. What could be more romantic than that?
People on Twitter are (mostly) elated. Perhaps they are more elated Hefner made the announcement via Twitter than they are about the actual nuptials.
@BILLBELLAMY HUgh Hefner just got engaged again! He aint hittin these chicks. He's 79b.c. The man graduated with Jesus!! Really? Another Playmate! LMAO!
@RealTonyRocha #twitter People: Hugh Hefner tweets that he's engaged again - Denver Post http://dlvr.it/CBgT9
@BashirLuciano RT @ImjustbeingWill Why is hugh hefner getting married?<---Tired of playing the field & ready to settle, nothing out here...#Bucketlist lol
@tomsomarriba E Hugh Hefner casa de novo! O cara tem 84 anos e casou com uma coelinha de 24 anos. Sou fã do cara!
@Mzlo What in the world do they have in common?? http://omg.yahoo.com/news/hugh-hefner-84-engaged-to-playmate-24/53006?nc
@BestWorstAdvice Hugh Hefner is 84 and engaged to a 24 year old? She's not a gold digger. More like a grave digger.
@pattonoswalt Hope when I turn 60 I can think, quietly, "My wife is being born somewhere." #hefner
@dianafalzone Hugh Hefner got engaged to his 24 year old gf on Xmas eve. That's a 60 year age difference. I really need to stop... http://fb.me/woS6oftT
@eamonlynch Does Hugh Hefner realize that his fiancé was younger when "Schindler's List" came out than he was when Schindler's actual list came out?
@schnitzdeli Why does Hugh Hefner keep getting married?
@NotGaryBusey Congrats to Hugh Hefner. Finding a girl with daddy issues is tough, but finding a girl with granddaddy issues is almost impossible.
@henriksen1 Hugh Hefner was 60 years old when his fiancee was born,That means i have to wait 20 years before my true love will be born,1st date Awkward!
@AlexanderMaMdou Hefner Says in Twitter Message That He Gave a Ring to Girlfriend and Playmate Crystal Harris

Twitter remembers the "Ex-es"
If you are feeling lonely this holiday season, no doubt there is an ex (girlfriend, boy friend, spouse, or significant other) to blame.
That's where Twitter comes in really useful.
People have started posting little messages to their ex-es blaming them for troubles, reminding them of what they are missing and generally just talking trash about them. The best part: most of the recipients of these messages will never read them, making it a less stressful event for the name-caller.
With Twitter, even the lonely can have a Merry Christmas!

Solstice tomorrow brings out the Tweets
In case you were unaware, Winter Solstice is tomorrow. This year the date also corresponds with a full moon and lunar eclipse. Depending on whom you ask this particular confluence of astronomical events with the shortest day of the year hasn't happened fore more than 400 years.
More than 1.5 billion people will be able to view the lunar eclipse and with today's global army of digital image gatherers, we will no doubt have plenty of cool photos to look at tomorrow....
This might be why #Solstice is a Trending Topic on Twitter.

Blaked Edwards dies, Twitter mourns
Twitter users are showing their age today as they mourn the passing of director Blake Edwards.
Sure, Edwards was a great director famous for such classics as The Pink Panther (the original movies, not the Steve Martin fakes), Breakfast at Tiffany's, Days of Wine and Roses and Operation Petticoat, but he hasn't had a bonafide hit in 20 years.
Anyway, it certainly is a sad passing nonetheless. After all, Edwards was the man who convinced Julie Andrews to take off her shirt in S.O.B.
God bless him....

Super Triple Holiday on Twitter
Today is the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, the publication of Einstein's Theory of Relativity and the day Oliver Cromwell was sworn in as Lord Protector of England. I'd call that a 'Super Triple Holiday!'
We should all have the day off from work, with pay. and free beer.
Twitter remembers this day. Mostly they recall the Boston Tea Party. This might be due to the current incarnation of the Tea Party as a political movement.

Obama Health Care Plan Ruled Unconsitutional
Now that one court has determined the White House health care plan is unconstitutional, you can expect one thing: More law suits will soon follow.
A lower court ruling is one thing, but no doubt this issue will eventually make its way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The nine justice panel will need to flip the final coin on whether it is Constitutional for the federal government to require citizens to buy health insurance or pay a fine.
And until that day comes Twitter will be awash with folks wading in to the battle. (I can't help wondering how many of these people are insured themselves?)
@bytesize23b If a mandate to buy health insurance is unconstitutional why does everyone have to buy car insurance?
@BloombergNews #Obama's Health-Care Law Ruled Unconstitutional Over Insurance Requirement - http://ow.ly/3ov8l ^nm
@BLKROCKET Judge Who Ruled Health Care Reform Unconstitutional Owns Piece of GOP Consulting Firm: http://gaw.kr/gNpULY Wets his beak where he eats
@jtb65 RT @newsbusters: Open Thread: Virginia Judge Rules Individual Mandate Unconstitutional http://ow.ly/1aqWiw
@travisharger Judge from Virginia declares Obamacare unconstitutional - maybe because Virginian's know the constitution? #ProudMemberOfTheCommonwealth
@spaceneedl unnecessary war, torture, wrecking the world economy? those are all good. but healthcare? totally unconstitutional. http://huff.to/hgnaBs
@BBCBreaking Judge in Virginia rules key provision in President Obama's health-care reform to be 'unconstitutional' in first such ruling
@VULaw2003 @craigcalcaterra because its not activist to overturn unconstitutional law. The opposite, actually. That's what they are supposed to do
@Joe2012PAC If Obamacare is unconstitutional does that mean the Pres. is guilty of perjury or just stupidity. He is supposedly a Constitutional scholar.
@TheDailyShow Mr. President, don't be upset health care reform was ruled unconstitutional. You still got a lot done. Like that childrens book!
@erwanheussaff So apparently the truth commission is deemed unconstitutional. Good Job supreme court, you've just proved yourselves just as corrupt as gma
@ChesterfieldRJ The COTUS is anti-Socialism. Of course any judge throughout USA will rule all Obama's bills unconstitutional.
@Sonesnation Has anyone noticed that the judge who ruled HCR unconstitutional was appointed under W. Liberals are prepared to fight #HCR #Obama #tlot #p2
@ReesetheWarrior Obama-Care Unconstitutional? Gas prices are Unconstitutional. Bp should add a 4th gas option, Regular, Unleaded, Premium & Unconstitutional!
@RepMikePence Now that a federal judge has shown the individual mandate in ObamaCare to be unconstitutional, it's time to repeal it lock, stock and barrel
@thinkBIG_blog Key portion of Obama health law ruled unconstitutional. G.O.P. win on tax cuts. But hey, Obama appearance on Myth Busters = great ratings.

Twitter tells you like it is
Twitter is great for posting random observations about other people. Share your ideas about how dysfunctional everyone around you is, while touting yourself as the most well-adjusted person in your neck of the woods.
What could be wrong with that?

@HEARTSTATION_ Listening to the Lizard king , Jim Morrison. While running around hazey polluted fairy lighted Los Angels. In nothing but lace torn jeans-
@SmokeMyWords #Ifihadsuperpowers I'd steal Justin Bieber's soul and give it to Jim Morrison. #backupinthatasswiththeresurrection
@GracieB_ Awww #Jim Morrison is trending. "There are things known and things unknown... and in between are the Doors". LOVED The Doors. Great Band.
