Whenever a monumentous (or heck, a small yet entertaining) event goes down, I have taken to Twitter for short, pithy op-eds and education tid bits. I must say, however, that this time twitter has failed.


Searching “Tacoma” and “Wal-mart” to get the most up-to-date, rage-filled posts has led to a mediocre crop of “oh, noes” and “not in Tacoma!” I frown upon you, Tacoma tweeters. Surely, you can do better than this?


As my facebook wall has informed me (Current count: 26 related Wal-mart posts) Wal-mart is an evil, giant, anti-union, small business slaughtering hell demon (these are not my words. I am not editorializing. I am citing a bonafide source of information). Certainly such a creature should lead to hilarious outcries that can be summed up in 160 words? I challenge you Tacoma: do better! I would like a better list of tweets for tomorrow.




One exception: good job RR_Anderson!
