Earlier today, Mother Jones writer and frequent Twitchy critic Tim Murphy hit on an interesting idea. Of course, he meant it as an insult, but we think a “Twitchy Team” series of mystery novels is just what our nation’s youngsters need. After all, who wouldn’t love a gang of lovable bloggers tracking down evil plots on the interwebs?
Could Michelle Malkin be the Nancy Drew of the social media age? Zowie, Tim! That sounds positively wizard!

Our staffers seem to like the idea.
@NickBaumann @timothypmurphy We are on it but we like DC better.

@timothypmurphy @TwitchyTeam Oooh you mean we get to be like the Hardy Boys now? Swell! When do we start?

@timothypmurphy @TwitchyTeam How about, "The Search for the Deleted Tweet"? (Oh wait, that would need a parental advisory…)

@timothypmurphy @TwitchyTeam Can I star in an Australian spinoff series? I know I'm probably going to end up playing Chet Morton anyway…

Of course, not everyone is on board:
@timothypmurphy Young Adult seems a little mature for anything involve Twitchy.

Honestly, how could anybody be against this?
Tell your favorite publisher: America’s children need the Twitchy Team novels, and they need them now!
