Bizarro World Headline Of The Day

 

The details are here, if you're that interested. I'm really not interested much. Unless, of course, he does it in drag.

Come ON, Twitter...

I know Twitter (and Facebook) probably uses keywords to help you identify people/places/things you might want to follow/friend/Like, but you just have to wonder about their automated processes when it comes up with something like this. I saw a tweet that mentioned Daniel Hernandez, the 20-year-old intern to Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords who helped save her life when she was shot in Tucson, attending tomorrow's State of the Union address. Turns out he has a Twitter account. When I clicked on the link to his page and saw this, I was flabbergasted. Check out the "Similar to" suggestion in the bottom right-hand corner:

In what world is a student/intern similar to a drag queen from a TV show? I don't think this would fly in Bizarro World. This is nothing against Pandora Boxx -- and hey, tonight is the Season 3 premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race, and I'll be watching. But these Twitter/Facebook suggestions are virtually useless. Sure, I've complained about this issue before and I know nothing will change, but some things are just too weird to let pass without comment.

And by the way, someday I think I'll have to write about those shootings in Tucson and the issues that surround it. But not right now. If you know me you can probably guess a lot of what I will say, anyway.
