Sports or Politics?
Long ride from Spruill County to Savannah. I’m kinda tired. I have to get caught up tomorrow. Sometimes I think they should just combine the Political and Sports pages. Newt’s attorney sums it up. You’d think that they were talking SEC football. But, right of the dial politics here is just like that. Bookmark It

Dear Lord, Mittens is shameless: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Sunday warned an 11-year-old boy that the world would be one step closer to nuclear war if President Barack Obama was allowed another term in office. “If Barack Obama gets re-elected, Iran will have a nuclear weapon and the world will change if that’s the case,” the former Massachusetts governor told a crowd in Snellville, Georgia. “This president failed to speak out when the dissidents took the streets in [...]

Politics As Usual The New Depression
Why we haven’t recovered
Compare and contrast: While Beltway insiders insist there is nothing more we could have done to heal the economy, the Shrill One (who, I seem to remember, is supposed to know something about economics) is pointing out the effect of providing only inadequate aid to the states. Now, it’s certainly true that the Republicans continue to obstruct any of the president’s efforts. (Hell, you just know when Gov. Kasich turns down federal aid for his tornado-devastated state that more Republican [...]

Finally, a banker who might go to jail
Well! It’s nice to see at least one Wall St. banker face criminal charges! He allegedly decided to stab his cab driver for the sheer audacity of asking for the agreed-upon fare. Geeze, I hope the court doesn’t hold it against the guy. After all, he’s been living in the 1% bubble for a long time, he probably doesn’t know any better. As to the racial slurs? As Mayor Bloomberg keeps reminding residents, New Yorkers should be grateful just to [...]

The truth. It hurts doesn’t it?

Please don’t start this again. There was a hell of a lot of difference between Bush and Gore, and a huge difference between Romney and Obama. Of course Obama is far from ideal, but in a Romney-like administration, OSHA would never fine Massey Energy $10.8 million for its role in the Upper Big Branch Mine disaster, the NASA Administrator would never send an agency-wide email proclaiming LGBT Pride month, the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act would never come into being, Sonia Sotomayor would never be on the Supreme Court. We know this, because we went through 8 long years of Bush!

In a Romney administration, Senate Dems just might act like a loyal oppostion to ideas Obama has offered which are really Republican ideas.
Also, Romney is much better at the wide-eyed (how old is this guy to use this adolescent trick?) innocent and sincere agent of helpfulness expression.
Otherwise, Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Interchangeable. Both in thrall to Wall Street and Big Money’s gambits. Romney has the advantage of being fully open about it, if you’re looking at it from private equity vultures and hedgies’ viewpoint.
