Drake And Jimmy Kimmel Debut Their New Twitter Song “Tweet Tweet”
Hip-hop artist (and former child star) Drake has the #1 album in the country, and was a guest and performer on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night.
But he and Kimmel also debuted their new Twitter-related single, “Tweet Tweet.”
How did the duo end up collaborating? “We have a similar flow,” said Kimmel, introducing the music video. “Is that what you call it?”
The video, which takes place in what looks like a high school, begins with Drake not able to formulate the lyrics to a new song. “Why write a song yourself when celebrities are tweeting so many great things?” asks Kimmel, and so begins “Tweet Tweet.”
It is mainly a collection of actual celebrity tweets (example: Paris Hilton “Goin to the club I need a new dude.”) The chorus: “Follow me, follow me, tweet tweet. Tell me something now. Follow me, follow me, tweet tweet. Tell me nothing now.”

Chris Matthews: Where Do These Glenn Beck Characters Get Their “Weird-Ass” Flag And God Ideas
I think it's entirely possible, judging by the continued tone of amazement in his voice, that Chris Matthews discovered Glenn Beck for the first time on August 28th. Today Matthews called out Beck again, complaining that "nothing is more bothersome to me...this notion that somehow only conservative and right-wingers are patriotic is nonsense!" He went on.

Obama: ‘You Didn’t Elect Me To Read The Polls And Figure Out How To Stay In Office’
President Obama gave an impassioned speech on the economy today in Parma, Ohio, and seemed to not only go after his GOP adversaries, but also addressed his rather bleak poll numbers of late. Sounding at times like his speechwriter was Aaron Sorkin (creator of West Wing), Obama referenced other great Republican presidents like Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, and yes, even Ronald Reagan, claiming that they were "serious leaders for serious times." Could this be the renaissance of Barack Obama's mojo?
