The news took a short break this week from the ongoing oil spill chaos and directed its attention toward something that humanity craves and thrives off of: fresh scandal. The revealing General McCrystal profile in the new issue of Rolling Stone made waves in the Twitterverse, as did the winning goal by new U.S. soccer hero Landon Donovan, the unbearable DC heat and humidity of summer, and America’s obsession with the latest in Apple products. These are the top tweets of this week.
