News tweets: Olympics, Tosh and Breaking Bad

For the week of 9 July, here is the news - condensed into 10 topical tweets, some more serious than others.

1. Very cool that Kourtney Kardashian had a baby girl. Even cooler that, without a doubt, it's the reincarnated spirit of Ernest Borgnine.

2. Andy Murray cried yesterday, because after all that effort he won a serving tray!!!

3. Using Matt Millen to talk about the Freeh Report is like CNN rolling out Mayor McCheese to discuss syringes being found in Happy Meals.

Twitter user Rob Cassidy (@Cassidy_Rob) sees a conflict of interest in ESPN using former Penn State footballer Millen to discuss the report about sexual abuse at the university.

4. If you think Tosh is "cutting edge," allow me to introduce you to this futuristic musical genre, "rap-rock," as sung by buzzband Limp Bizkit

7. This Bain stuff will blow over once the Olympics coverage of the Romney horse restores his "common man" bona fides.

Author Colson Whitehead (@colsonwhitehead). A horse owned by Mitt Romney's wife, will compete in the dressage in the upcoming Olympics.

8. Someone is probably tweeting "Burn those US Olympic uniforms!" using their iPhone, and missing the irony entirely.
