Sweet GovTweets 07.19.2009

Hello! Good evening,

Today’s tweets are very short. The weather here has been unseasonably cool (85) and we are just giddy. So, I am assuming, because I want to, that all of you are being blessed with the same wonderful weather! And I’m guessing everyone was outside playing today instead of posting.

As I went through the twitter posts relevant to use, I couldn’t help but notice that the Gov2.0 radio show garnered a lot of attention/questions/feedback … . Keep up the good job. And when you get tired of talking about official things, I will sit in and we can just gossip, gossip, gossip! 🙂

Two fairly new posters have attracted me with the charm of their posts; NextGov and GovFresh. I need to know more. What’s a woman to do? 😉 I guess early/late date them both until I can get enough info to share with you. What I do for this job; I hope you appreciate it!

Week in Review (Funniest Moment for Me): Was when Senator Orrin Hatch had a slip of the tongue and call Judge Sotomayer “Judge Scalia”, well I was in the floor laughing (ok, maybe inappropriate). But then a pundit on Twitter quipped, “Everyone knows that Scalia always has a pair of nun-chucks under his robe.” I couldn’t resist saying “Oh, contraire’.

Even as a small child, I had a fascination with the SCOTUS. I always wanted to be either a rock star, or a member of the Supreme Court. Well, that’s not really the truth; (I want to be the CHIEF JUSTICE of the Supreme Court). But, I digress. I knew the pundit was wrong about Scaila always having nun-chucks under his robe. So, I dug through my toy chest …. and found my Supreme Court paper dolls!

See, no nun-chucks! 😉

Y’all have a WONDERFUL week!

Cordially,

Caroline
