@GirlFailer: I just listened to The Dirty Projectors for the first time today and was surprised to hear that they have a noticeable R&B influence. So I can see why this cover works so well. #solangeknowlesdirtyprojectors
@BestEuphemismEver: Not me, mostly because I'm not a huge Beyonce fan. Not to say she doesn't have a great voice/range, but her pop music style doesn't really appeal to me. I love that her sister has a similar voice, but applies it in a wonderfully different way. #solangeknowlesdirtyprojectors
@GirlFailer: You and me both! She's really just come to my attention in the last 6 months or so, and every time I've been impressed, either with her wit or her opinions or (now) her voice and music choices.
And if she's an all-around kewl chick, I can totally get behind the penchant for feathers and other wacky sartorial choices. I like the variety, I just don't like it when I feel like untalented people dress crazily for attention because they can't get it any other way (I'm looking at you, Bai Ling). #solangeknowlesdirtyprojectors
Yeah, Scott Baio. If only America were more like North Korea and Iran. Because the citizens of those countries have so much love for their government. There economies are so stable. No one has a hard time finding a job, no one is discriminated against, there are never wars, and Kim Jong Il literally shits rainbows and puppy dog smiles! Did you hear Obama shits, like, actual digested food?! What a creep!
People like Scott Baio should be forced by time-continuum holes back into the wretchedly acid-washed universe of the 80s, where even the Vaseline smeared on the camera lens can't disguise his burning stupidity. #kirstiealleytwitter
Um yes, it would be so great if the U.S. could be more like North Korea and Iran. Is this a new Republican strategy that I've missed? Are North Korea and Iran no longer the Axis of Evil or whatever, according to them? Maybe Iran is the Republicans' version of where they want to run to now that Obama is President, like the liberals' Canada/Sweden. #kirstiealleytwitter
Oh Kirstie... from one fattie to another, just concentrate on eating healthy and exercising. If something's still missing, see a shrink, they can help get to the root of- oh wait... #kirstiealleytwitter
Kathy Najimy's tweet reminded me that I won a free fire eating class and I really should cash that in. Mostly because I want to hang with Kathy Najimy on the beach. #kirstiealleytwitter
I love this "hard working Americans" bullshit...because people come here illegally from other countries, and then live like kings on welfare and food stamps! Reality check, Scott Baio: most illegal immigrants work harder than you ever will, definitely for far less money, many at jobs you would never even imagine could exist. Many have multiple jobs. And many send most of their paycheck(s) home to their families. #kirstiealleytwitter
@toastandlove: I knew Scott Baio liked Reagan, but I thought he was a California Republican, not a wherever-Joe-Wilson-is-from Republican. They're still trying to pretend the healthcare plan would cover illegal residents? They could just Read The Damn Bill already.#kirstiealleytwitter
@alula: Sadly, he was on Arrested Development. But only to repeat the original Happy Days joke - he replaces Henry Winkler as the family lawyer. #kirstiealleytwitter
@toastandlove: And also....you DO NOT qualify for public benefits if you do not have any citizenship. So we are not paying for illegals for food stamps, welfare, etc. They are under the radar, washing your dishes and picking your vegetables and mowing your lawn you prick. #kirstiealleytwitter
@toastandlove: also you can't get any welfare benefits as an undocumented immigrant or get a drivers license in most places, including CA. Do all of his tweets involve Republican bullshit? #kirstiealleytwitter
@toastandlove: Ooh, new reality show idea: Scott Baio spends a week working in meat processing plant, then a week picking strawberries, then a week cleaning houses for $7 an hour. #kirstiealleytwitter
@Bitingpika: $7? Try $3 or $4, or less. As I understand it, most illegal/migrant/undocumented workers work for a set amount per day, say $30, but their day is 10-12 hours.
So not only does he have to do those jobs, he has to stand around at 5 in the morning with the rest of the workers, hoping to get picked up as a day laborer, not knowing what job he'll be doing or how much money he'll bring home that day. Then he can sleep in a tiny room with 10 other dudes, and send away 50-75% of his paycheck. It can be a charity benefit. #kirstiealleytwitter
@toastandlove: Most of the parents I work with are undocumented, but fairly settled and thus in a better position - but their younger relatives do the street corner temp office thing. Yeah, I'd like to see Scott Baio do that for a while. #kirstiealleytwitter
@toastandlove: I love the people who pretend that illegal immigrants don't pay taxes. The majority of illegal immigrants do pay taxes, because they are hyper law-abiding in order to avoid drawing attention to themselves and getting removed. (Removal = USCIS's latest term for deportment.) This was noted in the case Plyer v. Doe, where the court said a Texas county couldn't deny the children of illegal immigrants a free public education. #kirstiealleytwitter
@bitingfairy: Don't count on getting rid of him that easily. Even isolated and culture starved North Koreans would surely find him annoying and send him back. #kirstiealleytwitter
Good thing Joanie loves you, Chachi, because I believe the Jezzies loathe you. And you of all people, should not be talking about hard working Americans. #kirstiealleytwitter
