Tweets, Tax Cheats, and Hitler

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING about tweeting on twitter,  whatever tweeting on twitter  is, which makes people say very strange things. Or maybe its just something about being a republican.

On twitter, you're limited to one hundred and forty four letters per comment, aren't you? The magic number....(how was that decided, and by whom?)  When one tweets, one tends to leave out letters, and words like "should" become "shld". Our continuing decline into inane illiteracy. ur cntnng dcln n2 inan ilitrcy (just practicing).

This alone might be the cause of it. Then too, when one is a republican, one, by definition, has a rather twisted view of life, and current events. Two cases in point involve two of  america's tweet happy republican political leaders.

One, bobby jindal, R gov, LA., speaking before a group of repubs in VA, said the people who participated in the IRS's intense scrutiny of TEA party - like organizations should be put in jail. He did not indicate whether this should follow a fair trial by their peers, or whether he feared their peers would be scrutinized during or after said trial by the IRS.

but give him credit, though jindal is rumored to do his fair share of tweeting, he actually had the temerity to stand up in front of a bunch of living humans and say what he said, in person. That's real brass. Or sand. Or brassy insandity.

Did the IRS folks really break the law, or did they merely anger conservative america, and cause president obama to pretend to be angry for political expediency? Doesn't the IRS routinely audit, (subject to intense scrutiny) about one in seven federal income tax filers? Imagine every seventh american, enraged, demanding jail time for the entire IRS. Sweet. wld B a  Sweet tweet.

Are these routine tax audits illegal, and should everyone who works for the IRS do time? Move over, inmates of american prisons, the overcrowding is only going to get worse...

Senator Charles Grassley, (R, Ia) tweeted something to the effect that america has no foreign policy, and that whenever america has no foreign policy, somebody like adolph hitler comes along, and invades some other country, and therefore hitler is soon going to invade another country, just like before. History might not repeat itself, but it sure seems to rhyme.

And to think he said all this in one hundred and forty four letters, or less. But then again, he spelled the word "should"  "shld", presuming that twitter nation understood precisely what he was saying, which it no doubt did, which in itself is frightening.

Considering all the frequent flyer miles logged first by hillary clinton, and lately by john kerry, if america has no foreign policy, we the tax payers certainly are footing a huge jet fuel bill to achieve our foreign policylessness.

WE might take consolation in knowing that if and when  some neo hitler invades somebody, and if it is us, then if the entire IRS is not already in jail, it soon will be.
