    Guns, Profanity, Paranoia, and Fear on Twitter

    Twitteronia is a scary place to be. A Googler got violent, an NBC TV host swore, and we frightened a top AP editor — while Michelle Malkin had a breakdown. Today's twittiest tweets:

    Del.icio.us founder Joshua Schachter, now a Google engineer, contemplated violence. (There's some kind of thing about guns going around on Twitter! We don't get it, but we sure hope that's what Schachter's referring to!)
    KNBC TV personality Shira Lazar corrupted the youth of America.
    Associated Press managing editor Lou Ferrara expressed an entirely legitimate concern.
    Bizarro right-wing conservatrix Michelle Malkin made it official: She is not PC.
    New Yorker writer Tad Friend cried in public.
