Gov. Walker's Twitter feed reminds me of "Jim's Journal."

It finally hit me when I read the governor's most recent tweet: "Haircut then went out w/Alex who is driving (he is doing well)."

It's like "Jim's Journal"! Remember "Jim's Journal"? "I Made Some Brownies and they were pretty good." 

"Jim's Journal" was Scott Dikkers (the founding editor of The Onion) from back before The Onion got started... here in Madison, Wisconsin.

This conservative doesn't get why he actually enjoys reading the Twitter feeds of people of all political stripes as long as it's about personal stuff. Liberals can make me really mad. But I frankly love Ellen DeGeneres tweets when they are not about same sex marriage referendums, et al.

I wonder if any of our liberal friends can say the same about conservative Tweeters.

Unknown કહ્યું...

Jim's Journal?

Sounds more like Titus.

(you don't...)

Titus કહ્યું...

I wouldn't mind feeding on his twitter.

GulfofMexico કહ્યું...

Jim's Journal was gold. So was Plebes.

Sounds like Garrison Keillor from many moons ago when he had a morning show and used to read the Northland News on the air.

Steve Austin કહ્યું...

Jim's Journal was great.

I think the Scott Walker twitter feeds are excellent and do bring insight into him despite the pedestrian nature. They also have to drive the left batty because he doesn't share "feelings" nor appear rattled by all their antics the past two months.

My recent favorite was when he tweeted something like "grilling brats tonight w/family...tasty"

No, because they can't see any humanity in conservatives. We are all lizard-like creatures to be despised around the clock. Once you've dehumanized a whole class of people, it's easy to dismiss them entirely.

Quilly_Mammoth કહ્યું...

I think "Pearls Before Swine" owes a great deal to Dikker's comic style.

The Crack Emcee કહ્યું...

It reminds me of reading my wife's diaries after she left:

At the beginning of our marriage, they started out like this: all mundane - observations, to-do lists, etc. - but then, about halfway through, they morphed into this insanity.

At this point, I'd read Scott Walker's just to keep an eye on his mental state.

Paco Wové કહ્યું...

I'm sure Garage will be by to demonstrate how this proves Walker is the eeevillest governor, like, ever.

vbspurs કહ્યું...

In a few years, we'll be treated to a bad HBO show called, "Sh*t my governor Dad tweets".

Oh, did he? Awesome! It reminds me of the whole puppies in a blender joke about Insty.

Penny કહ્યું...

Chase, I agree about Ellen DeGeneres. She's gifted with lightning quick wit, and usually not at anyone's expense.

vbspurs કહ્યું...

Ellen's comedy specials are practically family fare. She talks about people observing others who stumble in the street, about why eggs and lightbulbs come in flimsy packages, about those long, winding 70s cords telephones used to have (in that puke green colour!).

Have never watched her talk show, but I do like her comedy skits.

Penny કહ્યું...

"We are all lizard-like creatures to be despised around the clock."

Alex, the lizards at "Little Green Footballs" are gonna get you for that!

Somehow I suspect they would see that as mistaking the elephant for the donkey.

David કહ્યું...

Crack:

"I understand and I wish to continue."

Is there no way to stop them?

Plus, usually when I wish to continue, it's when I don't understand.

Blessings.

Mel કહ્યું...

I only read the twitter feeds on Wispolitics, and while Walker's tweets are a bit cheesy, anything is better than Larsen's, "We will not allow this to stand!" bullshit.

Jamieson કહ્યું...

Read the Althouse blog. It was pretty good.

Drew કહ્યું...

Jim's Journal was awesome.

That is all.

Drew કહ્યું...

It's back!
