The Funniest Tweets of the Week

On the day I got my braces off a group of angry protesters took over the lobby of the building that housed my orthodontist’s office. They weren’t mad at Dr. Timothy Shaughnessy, DDS; they were protesting whatever latest bit of idiocy my duly elected Congressional representative had performed during his duties as the Speaker of the House. That dude’s name was Newt Gingrich; his office was in the same building as my orthodontist, and this story is only germane insofar as the first tweet in the batch below is probably my favorite of the week. It speaks to me personally, you see. I’d like to think that sometime tomorrow Dr. Shaughnessy, on a break from stripping metal off the teeth of young people, will pull out his phone and see this article shared upon his Facebook page, and remember those terrible days when his professional neighbor was also doing a pretty good job of wrecking this here country.
Hey, here are some tweets.
doctor: congrats on the baby! What are you going to name him
Newt Gingrich’s mom: newt gingrich

If we tax billionaires too much they won’t be able to buy the essentials they need, like NFL franchises, islands, and tax deductible think tanks founded exclusively to legitimize fringe beliefs about how billionaires shouldn’t have to pay taxes.
