Rep. Peter King Has Love-Hate Relationship with Terrorism


Rep. Peter King has been catching a lot of flak for hearings about whether or not Muslim-Americans are doing their fair-share to stop all the terrorist attacks that are constantly happening in our country that he'll be holding later this week. But what people fail to realize is that he knows from whence he speaks.

King is now a Trending Topic on Twitter....


@EricBoehlert Kinda already knew, but Peter King helped confirm this wk: Irish terrorists = good, Muslims terrorists = bad; #thanksPete

@TheInDecider Peter King feels about terrorists the way most people feel about step dancers. It's okay if they're Irish. http://bit.ly/ejnCrJ

@EternalRiteWing RT @strongthought: Rep. Eric Cantor defends Rep. Peter King's hearings on radical Islam http://wapo.st/gEGTPv #hhrs

Peter King (R) - the freaking hundreds of Pedophiles that live w/in 5 miles of me, just may be a more eminent danger than Muslim neighbor!

@lizzwinstead I just don't think it's a good use of our tax payer dollars to hold hearings that show America Peter King is a racist.

@craftyme25 #GOP Peter King focused on Muslim hearings 2 keep fear alive! At least until after 2012 elections! Must fuel tbaggers w hate & fear #Bigots

In Remembrance of Stanley Kubrick

It has been more than a decade since the death of director Stanley Kubrick. He was fresh from completing work on the film, Eyes Wide Shut, starring Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise.
Kubrick is perhaps best remembered for his work on 2001: A Space Odyssey. He also helmed A Clockwork Orange, Spartacus, Lolita, The Shining and Full Metal jacket.

Kubrick has a certain style, a certain flair for film making which some say was a holdover from the Golden Ag of Hollywood. I say, the guy made great films. He will be missed....and he is Trending on the Twitter:

@Aaron_Nagler Stanley Kubrick passed on this day in 1999. One of the greatest scenes in cinematic history: http://youtu.be/fNvGyNrWZG0

@HausofKubrick Stanley Kubrick: "If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed."

@JohnnyBushido R.I.P Stanley Kubrick

@koyaanisqatsy 1 minuTTo de silêncio - Stanley Kubrick 12 anos. Uma odisséia de laranjas mecânicas.

@Criterion On this date in 1999, Stanley Kubrick passed away in England.

@Kell_e Which Kubrick film should I watch today in his honour? RT @Criterion On this date in 1999, Stanley Kubrick passed away in England.

@SaraSorrab Stanley Kubrick ele foi foda depois de ter feito o laranja mecanica

@MahMichalani Stanley Kubrick: o maior cineasta que já existiu! Hoje faz 12 anos que ele se foi.. mas sua obra, com certeza, é eterna! \o

@mrMineCrafter When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man.-Stanley Kubrick on this day he passed on.

@JamesBales The fact that Stanley Kubrick walked on this earth is proof that the there is a god. Thank you for all your films. I hope we'll meet again.

@Criterion "I never learned anything at all in school and didn't read a book for pleasure until I was 19 years old." — Stanley Kubrick

@GaGaInfo R.I.P Stanley Kubrick "Find your Jesus, Find your Kubrick."- Dance In The Dark.

Mike Huckabee takes On Natalie Portman

Mike Huckabee seems to be taking page out of the Charlie Sheen playbook. All this week he has repeatedly made statements that his office has later apologized for, claimed were taken out of context or just sound a little loopy (to me.)
Like saying Natalie Portman was setting a bad example because she is an unwed mother. Um, last time I checked she had enough money in the bank to buy his next office for him--not that she would, mind you. But I figure, if you're an adult who is rich enough to pay your own bills, have insurance and do whatever you want whenever you want, feel free to have a baby.


@MariaRSmith His "Murphy Brown" moment? RT @ModernMom: Presidential hopeful MIke Huckabee slams Natalie Portman http://bit.ly/f2nvWu

@ChicoDelainky Mike Huckabee Slams Natalie Portman For "Child Out Of Wedlock" I’m sorry did we miss Bristol Palin's Wedding?

@ChrisRRegan Mike Huckabee's son hanged a stray dog at a boy scout camp in 1998 & carried a loaded gun onto a plane. Your move, Natalie Portman's fetus!

@more_is_less Mike Huckabee's books - “Character Makes a Difference,” and “Do the Right Thing.” Is he kidding?

@denisleary I think Mike Huckabee is high on a drug called Mike Huckabee.

@bubbaprog Mike Huckabee goes on tirade against Natalie Portman for having out-of-wedlock child. I hope he does the same thing to Bristol Palin. GOLD

@Martinez_A RT @HotlineReid: Mike Huckabee criticizing Natalie Portman for being pregnant w/o being married. Somewhere Dan Quayle and Murphy Brown laugh

@UnstableIsotope Mike Huckabee is mad at Natalie Portman for glamorizing single mothers. I look forward to reading his statements criticizing Bristol Palin

@BigDaddyToe RT @denisleary: I think Mike Huckabee is high on a drug called Mike Huckabee. U got that right my friend!!!!

@ChrisRRegan Mike Huckabee's son hanged a stray dog at a boy scout camp in 1998 & carried a loaded gun onto a plane. Your move, Natalie Portman's fetus!

@EPeterman Mike Huckabee has nothing better to do than criticize Natalie Portman for an out-of-wedlock pregnancy? Really, dude?

@starsinabottle Dear Mike Huckabee: If Natalie Portman is horrible for being pregnant "out of wedlock," then what say you about Bristol Palin?

@AaronMFlynn Mike Huckabee says Natalie Portman's pregnancy sends a bad message. No word yet on the effect asshole ex-governors have on kids. #p2

@mikeschaffer Of all the "single mom" actresses Mike Huckabee could have picked on, engaged Natalie Portman, fresh off Oscar win, was a very bad choice.

McLobster anyone?

You can learn something new every day on the Twitter. Today I learned McDonald's sells a McLobster sandwich, but only on the northeastern coast of the U.S. and at some stores in Canada.
The McLobster looks a little dicey to me, but apparently is quite popular in the places where it is sold.
Lobster at McDonald's. Who knew? Twitter users knew....


@Interniowsnx Thinking about trying the McLobster today. I hope you taste good. #fb

@frenchvision #chucknorris won't even eat #McLobster

@CaylaPriest Is it sad that I had to check the #mclobster hashtag to see if it was another Sheen-ism?

@334HoodNews McDonalds will add McLobster to the menu ...#serioustweet ....ikwtf?

@newmania I ate McLobster before it was cool. On a road trip to the Maritimes with my mom. That's how you know it wasn't cool.

@Viva_La_Mica The #McLobster meal comes w/a free McRoller limited time offer! Hurry hurry hurry Lol

@NotChrisRock The McDonald's employee who came up with the idea for the #McLobster needs to get punched in his chest 'til he breaks a #McRib

@ImFresh4Ever Death 2 all Mc rib and Mclobster eaters

@frenchvision #McLobster is wat the person thought of after drinking all the flavors of #4lokos

@StrangeJuggalo McLobster sounds like the newest craze in food poisoning, either that or the newest rapper straight outta Augusta.

@LadyDeuce1922 @likwidnupe3 The thought of "McLobster" seriously makes me want to hurl. lol

@anakkece They actually have freaking McLobster??? #intrigued #curious

@MontriaAnderson just saw another picture of a mclobster on facebook that someone actually purchased, & omg............................i'm sick to my stomach

@KUKULCRAZY Mclobster=Mcpukeonabun

@OhsoSupraaa A Mclobster? Seriously? A lobster in fast food form? It's like degrading the quality of it :-? Well if its here in yeah

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

There is a new version of Zelda on the way, called The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. If you are not familiar with the Legend of Zelda, well, you have obviously never played a Nintendo game system before.
Zelda has himself become a legend among gamers. The fantasy role-playing game (if it can be called that) has attracted millions of devotees who play and re-play all versions of the game.
No doubt this will be a top seller, just as all the others have been....

@jeffcannata New footage of Zelda Skyward Sword looks like the game will be all about directional sword slices. Hurm.

@kiwirock120 I CANNOT WAIT FOR SKYWARD SWORD!!!!!!!!

Original Bombshell Jane Russel dies

Jane Russel, 89, the star of Gentleman Prefer Blondes with Marilyn Monroe, has died. She was 89.

Russell was the quintessential sex symbol. The most popular sex symbol of the 1940's-1950's. During World War II just about every soldier had a picture of Russell in his foot locker or in his pocket. And for good reason. She was tall, a leggy brunette with smoldering dark eyes and a sultry voice that could melt butter.

She will be missed....unfortunately, many of the posts honoring her on Twitter have been linked to spam websites. Disgraceful....these, however, are real. Like Russell herself.

@blockbuster We're sorry to hear about the passing of Jane Russell. She was a true icon of the golden age of Hollywood.

@katyperry R.I.P the original BOMBSHELL, Jane Russell. Love you, we'll miss you.

@thiagook20 Jane Russell morreu ontem aos 89 anos.Ela ficou famosa ao protagonizar junto com Marilyn monroe o classico Os homens preferem as loiras.

@bust_magazine RIP American Beauty Jane Russell.
