So, if you want to become a follower of any or all these celebrities, be my guest.

Even members of Congress Tweet. Times are changing, fast. Using Twitter is one way to reach younger voters. Old people don’t Twitter—young people do. Politicians are being to learn that if they want to tap into the new generation they have to learn how to communicate with them—and cast away their quills and ink in favor of the modern way to keep in touch with their constituents. Twitter is changing the way of politics.

Twitter is also changing the way America does business.

Take your bible and handgun to church Sunday

The New Bethel Church, Louisville, Kentucky,  is welcoming “responsible handgun owners” to wear their firearms inside the church June 27, a Saturday. An ad says there will be a handgun raffle, patriotic music and information on gun safety.

No bible study? No prayer meeting? No sermon? Is this a church or just what is it? Apparently there is no plan to talk about God or Jesus–just guns, patriotism. Praise the Lord! And pass the ammunition!
