As Twitchy readers will recall, Andrew Kitzenberg was one of the compelling eyewitnesses who provided live-tweets from Watertown, Mass., late last Thursday night and early Friday morning after the MIT shooting (see our comprehensive coverage of those events here, including many of Kitzenberg’s tweets and photos from 62 Laurel Street).

In advance of a scheduled interview on CNN tonight, Kitzenberg took the pictures he tweeted last week and turned them into an annotated, timestamped photo essay.

Silly rumor of the week: ‘EBT no longer accepted at Walmart’
February 21, 2015 by
http://twitter.com/#!/AskHim/status/478386513667829760
No, not really.
http://twitter.com/#!/OhVickyYuSoFine/status/478199841370431489
“Walmart is no longer taking EBT”? Next we’ll find out that cnn.com.sundaytimesdaily.com is a legitimate CNN website.

http://twitter.com/#!/OhVickyYuSoFine/status/478208706585575424
But the Twitter rumor mill isn’t about to let a phony-looking URL stop it from spreading the “news” that Walmart is no longer accepting food stamps.
PSA:
EBT NO LONGER ACCEPTED @
WAL-MART!— REAL(est) '91 (@FreeakyLeak) June 15, 2014

Calling all “hoes”: If Walmart won’t take your EBT card, there’s really no use for you. We read it on Twitter so it must be true:
http://twitter.com/#!/RIPBIGWOO/status/478037037556465664
Back to the shed with the rakes, hoses, trowels and pruners.
Here’s the blurb about Walmart and food stamps that appeared on Sunday Times Daily, a website that allows you to “create your own fake news and trick your friends by sharing it on Facebook, Twitter or any other social network.”
Due to an overwhelming use of fake EBT transactions, Walmart will no longer accept E.B.T. also known as food stamps. Walmart CEO Michael McDonell said that after further consideration Walmart nor Sams Club will accept E.B.T. Food Lion and Harris Teeter said they both are considering the idea …
Wait a few seconds and the page will load a message telling readers “you were tricked” and “it was just a joke.”
http://twitter.com/#!/SherRih_/status/478011975746600960
Walmart will happily let you use SNAP benefits to pay for your purchases … as long as you remember your card.
http://twitter.com/#!/Mz_TMG/status/478842285502001152
The company “estimates it rakes in about 18% of total U.S. outlays on food stamps.” Think about it.
And for the record, Mitt Romney never wanted to ban tampons or Instagram.

Hey, remember when Carney sneered at Fox News’ Jenna Lee over Easter Egg Roll?

Yes, funny that. Here is a flashback:

— QueenofSheba (@lisasdeang) March 19, 2013
Press secretary Carney, in yet another White House act of war on women, sneered at Jenna Lee when she asked why White House tours were cancelled, but the Easter Egg Roll was not:
Carney snapped “Well, actually, Jenna, again, if you did a little reporting you’d know that the Easter Egg Roll is open for a lot of military families. It’s paid for by the sale of those eggs that come out as well as donations from the outside.”
And make him a sammich! Hmm. Practice what you condescendingly preach, toots! As Twitchy reported, the White House is now threatening to cancel the Easter Egg Roll. Because, sequester!
Megyn Kelly took took in on this afternoon.
Great. @megynkelly is taking on Jay Carney’s cheap shot at @jennafnc which now appears that Carney’s entire premise was false.
— johnny dollar (@johnnydollar01) March 19, 2013
@megynkelly I was totally offended by @presssec and his disrespectful treatment of @jennafnc Outrageously offensive to me.
— Scott Jones (@NScottJtx) March 19, 2013
Is the @presssec a bit ‘thin-skinned?’ Jay’s reply to the WH Easter egg-roll question posed by Jenna Lee @jennafnc was a bit mean spirited.
— Joelon Wilson (@futureicon) March 19, 2013
Indeed.
.@jennafnc vindicated over question to Carney, re: “WH-Easter-Egg-Roll”.. I guess our girl asked a valid question after all… ; )@foxnews

Looks like it! But, what will Carney sneer now?
@megynkelly I guess @presssecis not going to man up and apologize to Jenna

Sen. John McCain slips into Syria to visit rebel groups; Update: Photos added

The Daily Beast got the scoop.
Sen. John McCain Monday became the highest-ranking U.S. official to enter Syria since the bloody civil war there began over two years ago, The Daily Beast has learned.
McCain, one of the fiercest critics of the Obama administration’s Syria policy, made the unannounced visit across the Turkey-Syria border with Gen. Salem Idris, the leader of the Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army. He stayed in the country for several hours before returning to Turkey. Both in Syria and Turkey, McCain and Idris met with assembled leaders of Free Syrian Army units that traveled from around the country to see the U.S. senator.
