How did Mary Carrillo get from Wimbledon to South Africa so fast? #wc2010 #usagha #

Wow, Edu warming up already! Bye-bye, Clark? #USA #
True dat RT @barrysvrluga: Clark out 30 minutes too late. #
Where is Altidore's condition, at 50%? 40%? #USA #

AP: Blame US captain Bocanegra, not the Malian referee, for Edu's late goal being disallowed http://ow.ly/20sV7 #wc2010 #

Ruh-roh, @jondenunzio RT @fivethirtyeight if #ITA go on, they'll almost certainly face #NED We have them at 90:1 against winning the Cup. #
Remember when ABC's #worldcup broadcasts had shout-out sponsorships every 10 mins ("brought to you w/o interruption by")? #subtleisbetter #

Not in office yet but I feel safe estimating that productivity just sank 40%. #wc2010kickoff #
RT @TexasTribune: Kay endorses Rick. Yes, you read that right http://trib.it/bh9Qx2 #
First, she was banned from the jail for wearing a bra. She took it off. Then she was banned for NOT wearing a bra. http://ow.ly/1Xv9r #
US has some serious karma debt now: The better team lost that match, even though it was a tie. #usengland #
In terms of shock and global upheaval, I'd put the Afghan mineral find right there with the fall of Berlin Wall. #
Got a trusted reporter to follow on college realignment? Tired of getting jerked around by 1-source (and poor source) reporting. #
I'm shocked, SHOCKED that it's come to this: Albert Haynesworth wants a trade from the Redskins. Awwww. http://ow.ly/1Z1El #

A Houston billionaire's death in 2010 means Uncle Sam loses out on hundreds of millions of dollars http://ow.ly/1VXlP #
RT @marcambinder: Labor sources very nervous about AR at this point. Lincoln's numbers in Pulaksi and among black voters are higher. #
RT @JoshuaGreen: Gibbons loses in NV; Haley wins in SC. Did adultery win or lose tonight? (Adultery's just glad it wasn't backed by labor) #
