Forced to move back home with his parents, a 28-year-old man has created a popular (more than 200,000 followers) Twitter page that consists of direct quotes from his gloriously cantankerous — and equally gloriously profane — 73-year-old father.
The Buzz can’t print the page’s full title in the newspaper, but we can tell you this: It almost justifies Twitter’s bleeping existence.
The daily outrage: The White House on Friday tried to brush off claims by some conservatives that President Barack Obama’s planned back-to-school speech amounts to forcing his political agenda on the nation’s students.
Perhaps Obama can tamp down the furor by ditching his prepared remarks and reading “My Pet Goat.”
Hey, big spender: If you write a big check in a charity auction, you can win a dinner for five with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. The money will go to an agency that helps wounded veterans.
Sounds great — unless dinner means Crunchwrap Supremes from the Wasilla Taco Bell.
