Earlier this month, the State Department’s official Twitter account announced that all tweets coming directly from the mouth of Secretary Kerry would be signed with “-JK,” – the same way tweets from the President are signed “-BO” and tweets from the First Lady are signed “-MO.”

They failed to see the problem with this.

In the last 24 hours, here are three tweets in which it looks like newly-appointed Secretary of State John Kerry is not that serious about what he’s saying:

Listened to #SOTU focus on economy @statedept promotes US business – we’re stronger in world when stronger at home-JK go.usa.gov/4s7H

#ClimateChange call to action in #SOTU is in economic, national security interests for all countries. -JK

People are still commenting on how “JK” makes it look like he’s kidding:

@statedept Does “JK” mean just kidding?

Seriously, State Department, you have to do something about this. I’d say you could just use his middle initial when he signs tweets, but his middle names is “Forbes.” I don’t think signing his tweets -JFK would be any less confusing.
