Mickey Kaus compares the trending topics on Twitter in Los Angeles with those in Washington and Islamabad, and says ours are "embarrassing." LA topics trend to plays on Cinco de Mayo and drinking, plus scorpio, libra, capricorn and pisces. In Washington, Osama bin Laden and terms like unemployment make the list — plus Cinco de Mayo. KausFiles is now at the Daily Caller.
Right now the unpromoted trending for Los Angeles is:
* #thatoneperson * #mamasays * #cookingsongs * Finally Friday * APUSH * Kentucky Derby * Jay Park * Something Borrowed * Judas
Good reminder that the journalists and other media types who think their streams represent "what's on Twitter" don't really get the medium. It's not for them.
