"Dude looked like a lady."

What does that refer to? To one of the questioners at the most recent debate, or to a picture of Obama? Or something else?

If you’re gonna watch Twitter, try this new gizmo:
http://politics.twittersentiment.org/streams/
Real-time Twitter volume and sentiment graphs.

“USC’s Annenberg Innovation Lab at the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, and the Signal Analysis and Interpretation Lab (SAIL) at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering have jointly developed a unique modeling infrastructure to analyze public sentiment toward the 2012 United States presidential candidates, as expressed through the micro-blogging application, Twitter. “

“puts fingers in ears.”

And those were the same flap ears that Uncle Frank used as love handles.
