Newt Gingrich may have a 92% fake following rate on Twitter or he may not, it doesn’t really matter. What I mean to say is that this isn’t something anyone should be worrying about, not even Newt Gingrich himself, the followee in question. But Newt did care. The sad, old man cared enough about his number of Twitter followers that he probably paid some company to juice his stats. He thought that that’s what mattered. Just like the rest of us, Newt was too concerned with checking his Twitter account instead of focusing on the important stuff. We also, of course, completely validated Newt’s initial concern over his number of followers by caring enough to unearth the fraud. So this proves that it’s the norm now to be addicted to the internet to the detriment of your own well being. That is the norm. Okay, here are your headlines.
- The autopsy on Celina Cass is “inconclusive.“
- Some homeless guy hopped the fence at the White House. Obama could have at least invited him in for a beer first.
