It’s Tuesday and that means you are recovering from Monday’s hangover and probably need a news recap.
This week already has had a plethora of news come in between the maven of butter, Paula Deen, announcing she has Type 2 Diabetes; wrapping up from CES and the Golden Globe Awards; and of course more political banter. Luckily for you none of those items will be listed in Tuesday’s Tweets.

Betty White though better known for her days on the Golden Girls has more recently become a comedic icon for younger crowds has her 90 birthday today. During a celebration over the weekend quite a few celebrities paid tribute to her, and even had a marriage proposal. Of course everyone from AARP and your mother has been wishing Betty happy birthday, but Michael Hahn said it best:

Jimmy Wales Advises Students to Get Homework Done Early
Wikiapedia’s Jimmy Wales confirmed yesterday that the free encyclopedia loved and used by millions of students will be blacking out on January 18 (tomorrow).

Fast Food Hits the Road
Burger King announced that it will be trying their hand at deliveries starting with 16 locations between Virginia and Maryland. Orders will have to be between $8 and $10 with a $2 delivery fee. For some reason they decided not to allow the deliver of drinks though, and won’t be including breakfast for the initial service either. Well what’s the bloody point if you won’t deliver me breakfast in bed? Get on it BK.
Too lazy to drive thru for your Whopper? Fear not, the King delivers your fattening (& delicious) food! usat.ly/wqroJC @BurgerKing
