Guest blogger Jenn Themelis brings insight to Miley Cyrus' decision to stop tweeting.
This week, prolific Tweeter Miley Cyrus deleted her very popular Twitter account.
I know. I was sad, too.
Why, why would she do such a thing? Well, Miley's been feeling overexposed, so she decided she needed to make her personal time personal. And what better way to lessen the glare of the spotlight than to make formal proclamations about how you will no longer be detailing the minutia of your life in neat 140 character slices?
You see, Miley wasn't living in the now, savoring those moments of quality time with friends and family, because she felt overwhelmingly compelled to tweet about it. We've all been there.
But this hobby turned dark, as it seems that Twitter puts you into contact with a lot of negativity, as she said in her multi-paragraph essay addressing her twit quit on her official website. Miley really just wants her "me time" to be hers again! She just wants to have some sort of 'normal' life. She stopped living for moments, and started living for people, as she said in her YouTube rap "Goodbye Twitter."

That's right, it's time for Miley to put Miley first!
Which inspired me to put myself first in the same fashion, so here goes: Hey world! I'm not living for you anymore! I'm doing my own thing, singing my own song (which at the moment in "Party in the USA", so fuck off! Don't judge me.)
But, I won't be a twitter quitter, because it would just be too embarrassing when I'd inevitably go back. I'm not as strong as you, Miley. I NEED to see every time Diddy tweets, "LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
Cuz it's like, damn, he must mean it if he's taking up that many characters with extras "o's" and exclamation points.
I absolutely must update the world when a pigeon brushes my head with it's disgusting wing. It's kind of like keeping a weird journal you're not that embarrassed about people seeing.
I'd like to think I'll be able to look back on my tweets in my golden years and remember, "hey, yeah, I did go to Pinkberry that one time, and it was awesome."

This is my most recent short film about the choices that everyone has to make when surrounded by the negative aspects of life, whether originates from friends, family, or co-workers. The boy in his underwear represents the damaging effects that can occur to some when subjected to this negativity; to the point of believing what is being repeated to you and feeling vulnerable and "naked", on the verge of self-destruction. However, no matter what you are told by others (good advice or bad), in the end, you are the only one who can make the choice.This is my most recent short film about the choices that everyone has to make when... more

Alarmism is setting in about the health reform bill. "Alliances In Health Debate Splinter," says the Washington Post. Others are crowing about delays in passage. Never mind that the health reform bill last week cleared three congressional committees (two more to go!) and that the House bill, which is more liberal than the bill approved by Sen. Ted Kennedy's health, education, labor and pensions committee, was endorsed unexpectedly last week by the American Medical Association.Alarmism is setting in about the health reform bill.

On his radio show last friday, Limbaugh told his listeners that he was asked by “a major American print publication” to offer a 400-word statement explaining his “hope for the Obama presidency.” He responded:
So I’m thinking of replying to the guy, “Okay, I’ll send you a response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.” (interruption) What are you laughing at? See, here’s the point. Everybody thinks it’s outrageous to say. Look, even my staff, “Oh, you can’t do that.” Why not? Why is it any different, what’s new, what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what’s gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here. Why do I want more of it? I don’t care what the Drive-By story is. I would be honored if the Drive-By Media headlined me all day long: “Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails.” Somebody’s gotta say it.
.... click above for the full story about this spiteful, drug-addled jerk who wishes ill on our country. Talk about traitors. He & Coulter should be shipped off to an island somewhere far away from America, where they can't do us any harm.On his radio show last friday, Limbaugh told his listeners that he was asked by... more

The Nobel laureate unveiled a new $300m advertising blitz intended to force a debate on climate change during the presidential elections. Gore appeared with his wife, Tipper, on the CBS program 60 Minutes to roll out the effort, is to donate a share of his personal fortune to the campaign.
Gore said he hopes to persuade Americans that protecting the planet transcends the usual political divisions.
A clip aired on CBS showed the Reverend Al Sharpton sharing a sofa with the conservative preacher Pat Robertson. The two men acknowledge they agree on almost nothing - barring the need to deal with global warming.
Other spots will feature the Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, alongside New Gingrich, the conservative Republican who once held the same post.
The support from such conservative figures as Gingrich and Robertson marks a victory for Gore in his efforts to make global warming a cause for all Americans: evangelical Christians and fiscal conservatives as well as those on the left.
Gore also made it clear he has no intention of intervening to bring the democratic nomination contest to a close. "I'm not applying for the job of broker," he told CBS.
The advertising campaign is being created by an advertising agency whose work is familiar to American television viewers. The same agency produced advertisements for Geico car insurance using talking lizards and spoof of Planet of the Apes.
Gore acknowledged that so far Clinton and Obama have devoted relatively little time to discussing their platforms on climate change. But, as he told CBS: "I'm not finished yet."
