The Best of Intentions: Tweet This, Tweet That & A Giveaway

It is no secret that I love, love, love Sami's Friday Tweet This, Tweet That posts! From her very first one, I've followed along! So when she announced a one time link up so EVERYONE could share their favorite tweets?! I had a ~~huge~~ mini freak out.

But then I said to myself, "Self, rather than share a random bunch of funny tweets, you need a theme." Because who doesn't love themed posts?!

Originally I was going to do a Breaking Bad finale themed tweet post. I scratched that however because I know there are lots of people who follow my blog who aren't quite done with Breaking Bad. I didn't wanna be a buzzkill.

Right about the time I scratched that idea a brilliant idea came to me. What is everyone in the United States talking about right now?

The Government Shutdown.

So here are the funniest tweets that I could find about the Government Shutdown of 2013.

*disclaimer: I in no way think the government shutdown is funny. It's a completely serious issue. That being said, I find the humor in situations and these tweets made me LOL*

Hey the government, you're the government, not Blockbuster. So don't shut down and that's obvious. 😜

97% of NASA is shut down. I think it would sum up humanity nicely if our first response to alien contact was an out-of-office reply.

Gov't shutdown drinking game... Take a shot every time the democrats blame the republicans and vice-versa.
