So, it was Reagan...

By Jeremy P. Jacobs

He just tweeted:
Sitting at the Reagan library listening to the Dennis Miller radio show. My first time here. I first became a Republican because of Reagan.

SEIU's Stern to the White House

By Michael O'Brien
Keep an eye on the Service Employees' International Union's (SEIU) Andy Stern to keep outsiders apprised today of what's going on inside the White House.

The union president is one of the top representatives of organized labor at today's White House meeting on healthcare costs, where President Obama is expected to announce details of a plan that would reduce costs by trillions over the years.

Stern, whose Twitter feed has been known to make news before, tweeted Monday:
At White House for meeting with President on Health care.

Inglis toasts vets by tweet

By Michael O'Brien
Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.) managed an eloquent tribute to military veterans Monday on his Twitter page -- in under 140 characters.

Inglis tweeted:
Headed to Oakmont Nursing Home to a Veterans celebration. They were young once and vigorous, and their courage preserved freedom.

'All the news that's fit to tweet'

By Michael O'Brien
In last week's run up to nerdprom, many Twitter users missed one of the more interesting new additions to the Twitter-verse.

New York Times executive editor Bill Keller, the paper's top editor, joined Twitter last Thursday morning.

He wrote, in his first tweet:
Another thoughtful take on Pakistan. All the news that's fit to tweet. http://bit.ly/2ajCp


Since then, Keller has tweeted intermittently, usually to promote stories in the Times.

Keller marks one of the most prominent journalists to have joined the microblogging service, joining an array of staff writers at his organization and a variety of other outlets to use Twitter.

In his peer group, Keller stands alone, as well. Washington Post executive editor Marcus Brauchli and Wall Street Journal managing editor Robert Thomson do not have recognized pages on Twitter.

Still, with its unprotected updates and easily registered comments and replies, Keller's Twitter page could launch a new age of responsiveness and accountability in the highest echelons of journalism.

When writers unite

By Michael O'Brien
Count the Weekly Standard's Fred Barnes as one of the many readers of ESPN columnist Bill Simmons.

Barnes tweeted Sunday:
Sports fans should read The Sports Guy Bill Simmons on ESPN.com and in ESPN magazine. http://tinyurl.com/d967eu


We're not sure whether or not Barnes is aware, but he can enhance his "Sports Guy" experience: Simmons joined Twitter a couple of weeks ago, and has been on a roll ever since.
