Feeling a bit dis-connected from the rest of the world, or at least the United States, from TV shows to politics topics are discussed and questions are asked of this world.
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send updates (otherwise known as tweets) which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.
Updates are displayed on the user's Twitter profile page and delivered to other Twitter users who have signed up to receive them. The sender can restrict delivery to those in his or her circle of friends (delivery to everyone being the default). Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, instant messaging, SMS, RSS, email or through an application such as Twitterrific or Facebook.

Holly cow that looks like an uncomfortable situation.
In New York a woman dies on the floor of a hospital waiting room and the staff lie on records to make it look like they checked on her, classic CYA (Cover Your Ass). Two security guards looked in on the waiting room and went back to work (and by "work" I mean sitting around with your thumb up your ass) without taking the time to check if the woman laying on the floor was breathing or not.
