5 reasons to join our live Tweet-Chat during the GOP Debates

02/21/2012 By 2 Comments

Being Latino this evening for a live tweet-chat during the GOP primary debates in Arizona, maybe these reasons will do the trick:

1.  Everybody will be waiting to see who the next inevitable GOP nominee will be.

2.  A healthy Twitter account requires constant care and attention.

3.  Your pizza will take at least an hour to be delivered. (“30 minutes or less” is a vicious lie.)

4.  The new Jersey Shore won’t be on for another day.

5.  It’s what the machines want us to do.

    I don’t understand Twitter. What’s even more confusing to me is trying to read a twitter feed with multiple people chiming in. I guess I’m strange that way.
