Childhood rock heroes vs. Sen. John McCain

I sought out an Irish rock band I was in love with a long, long time ago in the sixth grade -- the Waterboys -- and much to my surprise, discovered that Mike Scott, the lead singer, is not only alive and well, but he's apparently become a bit of an artsy techno-fan.

He updates on Twitter at least 3 times a day, or, as you can see below, nine times in 2 1/2 hours. And unless Twitter is recording his posting time inaccurately because of the different time zone, he's an early riser!

Read up from the bottom. The first TWEET is about Liam Neeson... the rest is directed directly at ex-presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain.

Messaging Twitter central to complain about "chisel-chinned fraud" (ie his minions) being able to retroactively delete my messages to him.8:13 AM Mar 19th from web

@SenJohnMcCain Incredible how you can pontificate on issues w/ straight face after almost foisting Palin on the world. Shameless old fraud!7:34 AM Mar 19th from web in reply to SenJohnMcCain

@SenJohnMcCain Very impressive how you've repositioned yourself as "Mr Principled Guy" after your despicable, ugly, desperate campaign 08.7:34 AM Mar 19th from web in reply to SenJohnMcCain

@GStephanopoulos As for you, ya twit, how you can appear on TV with yr face uncovered after the 2008 Prez debate is a profound mystery.7:30 AM Mar 19th from web in reply to GStephanopoulos
