Tuesday's best and worst of Twitter

The first official day of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte and the first work day of the week led to some interesting conversation on Twitter Tuesday.

Here are some of the best tweets we came across.

DNC, Day 1

Alvin C. Jacobs Jr. (@acjphoto): I’m in (Uptown) Charlotte wearing more press lanyards than a concert roadie, in an impeccable suit and great shoes. Ready. #DNC2012

Shonta Smith (Iesha) (@ShontaSmith2011): Day 1 of driving into Uptown Charlotte for work. More security but less traffic. :-) This is going to be a great day #DNC2012

Mary Beth Schneider (@marybschneider): Remembering the DNC person who told me I would have no trouble parking! Ha!

Blair Phillips (@bpphotography): Think maybe I’ll go to Uptown Charlotte for dinner tonight... oh...wait #DNC2012 #crowded

Thoughts on Charlotte

Laurie Brunner (@Twizznit): “It’s like it’s a real downtown.” - James Carville, describing some Democrats’ initial impression of Charlotte. #DNC2012

Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News White House correspondent (@OKnox): #OHatDNC “Charlotte: Come for the barbecue, stay ’cause you can’t leave.” #trafficjokes #DNC2012

Seen and heard

Bryan Li (@PiscesSushi): Jon Stewart had takeout from us tonight. My life is completed.

DNC humor

Indecision (@indecision): Democrats and Bank of America actually have a lot in common. They both only contact me when they want money.

Bobby Black (@bobbyblack7): Dems: "We can't afford these failed policies of the past! And now, here's Jimmy Carter!"

Richard Lawson ‏(@rilaws): MY NAME IS TED STRICKLAND AND SOMEONE JUST DISCHARGED A FIREARM NEAR MY EAR I APOLOGIZE FOR YELLING.

Andy Borowitz ‏(@BorowitzReport): I worry that while all these folks are in Charlotte for the #DNC Paul Ryan will break into their homes and steal their benefits.

Oops
