Twitter Hates When I have Opinions
This morning, Twitter was all abuzz (not really) with the news that Kelly Clarkson has decided to back Ron Paul for president. I'll pause so you can finish rolling over with laughter.
Done? Good.
My modus operandi when it comes to Twitter is simple. I see stupid shit, I mock it. I mock misogynists, jerks, idiots, and Ron Paul supporters (particularly after reading some of Ron Paul's newsletters--there's a Twitter account for that too). Naturally, Kelly Clarkson's endorsement of Ron Paul fit neatly into the category of, "Funny, light political stupidity I can mock." And really, given how "great" the pre-election season has been, I think we have to laugh. Of course, somebody on Twitter apparently took umbridge to my opinion that Kelly Clarkson's decision to back Ron Paul was mock worthy.
@jadedinsc: Kelly Clarkson is endorsing Ron Paul for president. Truly, Clarkson is one of the greatest political minds of our century. In Opposite Land.
@jad991: @jadedinsc and your opinion matters even less so what does that mean?
Usually I ingore people who A) I don't follow back, B) are looking to start shit, and C) have no icon (usually indicates a spammer, but not always), but for some reason this tweet turned my snark machine.
@jadedisnc: .@jad991 Your point? I can still mock the shit out of an unqualified celebrity endorsing a homophobic bigoted shithead for President.
@jadedinsc: Hey, if winning American Idol doesn't qualify you to endorse a political candidate, nothing will.
@jadedisnc: And what good is twitter if I can't use my PERSONAL twitter for expressing my own thoughts? I see funny shit, I mock it.
@jadedinsc: Onoz, some non-celebrity has Opinions About Things(TM) on the Internets! We better tell her (me) that she doesn't matter!
@jadedisnc: Silly me for thinking my voice (or text in this case) was there to be used to express myself. Guess I better go get famous first.
@jadedinsc: Okay, so now that some on Twitter has put me in my place (Bwhahahaha!), I'm going to go take a nap since I have not slept much this week.
@gypsyhooker: @jadedinsc Fuck the uptight fuckers. Social media was made for mocking stupid people.
@jadedinsc: @gypsyhooker Yeah, telling people they're insignificant and stupid is for relatives on Facebook.
@jadedinsc: For the record, I don't tell my relatives they're stupid and insignificant on Facebook. That'd require adding them first.
Oh, Twitter, you make it so easy to get involved in shenanigans. Anyway, I wasn't lying when I said I haven't had much sleep this week. 'Tis true. We were up at dawn pretty much so we could run Mom to the bus station so she could go back to SC. The kiddo cried when she got on the bus and I bet Mom cried too and will cry tonight when she calls me.
But now I'm going to go join Sam for a nap.
