Sem-Intelligent Discourse

So for those of you that don't know Senator John McCain is on Twitter (so is his super-hot daughter Meghan).

The Gentleman from Arizona was attacking some Green Initiatives calling them "Pork Barrel." Proof that "Pork Barrel" is in the eye of the beholder. Where as Senator McCain feels a 50 Million Dollar border fence is imperative to our national security, I feel that spending that amount of money on a fence that has been proven ineffective is wasteful and irresponsible, but that is an argument for another day.

In any event, I decided to respond to my friend John McCain's posts.

On to the Tweets!

• @SenJohnMcCain I guess Green Buildings are a low priority to you. Investing in green construction makes sense fiscally and environmentally in reply to SenJohnMcCain
• @SenJohnMcCain I guess Pork barrel is in the eye of the beholder my friend. in reply to SenJohnMcCain
• @SenJohnMcCain seriously ur gonna bitch about $750,000 Algae to Ethanol Research that is essential to our energy future?in reply to SenJohnMcCain
• @SenJohnMcCain So you won't support $26.4 Million in environmentally friendly research but you support a $50 Million Border Fence....
• @SenJohnMcCain a Border Fence that has been proven time and time again to be ineffective. in reply to SenJohnMcCain
• @SenJohnMcCain You are willing to spend twice the amount of money to appease the right instead of work towards a better future? Bravo. in reply to SenJohnMcCain

I told rich about my battle of wits with McCain, and he decided to join our debate.

• @SenJohnMcCain your mom's a pork barrel. OHHHHH walk away.

I think rich really raised the level of discourse to a height neither I nor Senator McCain were used to.

I will update you if John McCain actually decides to respond to rich or I
