Rupert Murdoch joins Twitter. Hilarity quickly ensues.:

While on vacation in St. Bart’s himself, Murdoch tweeted, “Maybe Brits have too many holidays for broke country!”

His own wife, who began tweeting as @Wendi_Deng, was among the first to react, replying, “RUPERT!! Delete tweet!!” He did.

On this day in 1933, America ended its silly dalliance with temperance, rolling back Prohibition with the 21st Amendment.
