My Romnesia Joke List from Twitter - 74 Tweet-sized jokes around the theme of Romnesia

This entry again has nothing to do with mobile, tech, media or social networking. But on Friday the joke that President Obama ran in his speech around the theme of 'Romnesia' ie Romney+Amnesia suddenly caught fire, there were thousands and thousands of great tweets around the theme and the topic 'trended' on Twitter for much of the day. I went in, and tossed my creativity around making jokes on the theme of Romnesia. I ended up making 74 Tweets on that hashtag, some bombed totally, but some were still listed among top Tweets a day later. Here is the full list. 

I am posting here in full view the 30 most popular Tweets, in increasing order of popularity (ie increasing 'funniness') and after the link, the less popular further 44 if you didn't get enough. Here the most popular Romnesia jokes I created on Friday, starting with the top 10. In rankings, the tie-breaker is first, those that got any actual responses, then number of those that were retweeted, finally those that were favorited. The numbers are in order of total reactions = retweets, favorties (+ possibly responses). If you like political humor, enjoy:

NOTE TO POLITICAL TYPES - this blog usually deals with technology matters such as mobile phones and social media. So you probably don't want to try reading most of what I blog about. But recently two blogs might be of interest to you - one is my blog about how to use cellphones & SMS text messaging reminders to drive up voter turnout this year; and another is my 'conspiracy theory' about why Obama 'bombed' in the Convention Speech and the First Debate this year. If you like some mental stimulation of 'what if' - that blog about Obama playing the Billiards Hall Pool Hustler Gambit may be interesting.
