Tweet Untweet: Planning for the Future

If Obama wins, this time next year I'll either be dead, in jail, on a cruise, at McDonalds, or seeing a Van Halen concert.

The Daily Show on the Koch Brothers' Accidental Science

This whole thing doesn't make any sense to me. If these scientific findings really contradicted the Charles and David Koch's beliefs about climate change, wouldn't they just buy Science and have it retooled? There's more to this story that the liberal media won't tell us…

Coverage continues with Aasif Mandvi vs. Science after the jump.

The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11/10c.

Tworld News: Week of November 1, 2010

It's not every week that important global happenings are reductively expressed through humorous tweets. Wait a minute. Yes it is!

The anticipation, the overspending, the disappointment — even if I didn't mix up Christmas and midterm elections I still would have voted for Santa Claus.

More after the jump…

McDonald's Isn't Lovin' a National Holiday for Barack Obama

Meanwhile, out in Topeka, a lone patriot named Sonny Scroggins has been trying to organize a national holiday to commemorate Barack Obama's election. Sonny Scroggins is just the man for this job.

Scroggins, who is known for his sometimes quixotic crusades against social injustice, said voting results last week were among the "most profound things that have ever happened to humankind."

"I got Jesus, I got the Internet, and now I got Nov. 4, 2008," he said.

What to call this day, November 4, when Barack Obama was elected? Elected Day? Day of Electing? Changemas? Oh, I don't know.

Unfortunately for Sonny, a lot of people want to interview him about his idea, but he's having trouble finding anyone who wants to help turn the dream into reality. Even worse, the owner of his office space is all, No You Can't…

Scroggins hit another roadblock when the downtown McDonald's, long his staging ground, heard about his upcoming planning sessions.

"You absolutely do not have permission to do any kind of Obama planning," owner Karen Tyler said in a voice mail left on Scroggins' phone and played for The Capital-Journal.

Scroggins said he has held court at the fast-food joint for years with no problems and wasn't sure why he was being kicked out now.

Well, Sonny, if Barack Obama Day is thwarted, perhaps the Topeka McDonald's would be more supportive of a national God's Son and the Internet Day.

Which, if you think about it, is pretty close.
