The Central Scrutinizer

We (Illinois) should be put on probation by the other 49.

If Oprah becomes a US Senator her show will be cancelled. I'm in. This story is at times The Sting, at times Alice in Wonderland. I'm surprised we haven't been impeached as a state - what with our lack of ability to govern ourselves. Can a state have two ex-gov's in prison without setting some sort of Guinness world record? Doubt it.

Fox News Twitter feed gets hacked (we assume)

Many Twitter feeds as of late have been phished or hacked. Today the Fox News Twitter feed was presumed hijacked. At 9:00 this morning central time the Fox News Twitter feed offered

"Breaking: Bill O Riley is gay"

One cannot assume much these days with Obama announcing a VP candidate via text, candidates attempting Facebook dialogues with constituents, and other forays into social media. One might assume that the "Bill O Riley" mentioned was intended for Fox News host "Bill O'Reilly."

Anyway, something told me it might be a good idea to run to my computer and do the quickest screen grab I know how to do. So I did - and here it is. Also posted is the same page 10 hours later with the "Breaking New" removed and the prior headline now once again front and center.

Evidently it became a slow news day as we were left to ponder turkey taco lettuce wraps. It would appear today Mr. O'Reilly gained 366 additional followers if he care to "announce" anything additional tomorrow.
