It's
A Bird! It's a Turkey! It's Mitt!
 In
early 1999 Mitt Romney was experiencing a relatively
fallow period in his life. After a disastrous run for
the Senate in 1994 he went back to Bain Capital to
do what he'd always done. Whatever that is. All I know
is that it involves taking pension fund A and putting
it in Romney's Swiss bank account B.
Finally, in February of 1999, after carefully scrimping
along on his untold millions,
he
was
given
the nod as the head of the Olympic Committee. By all
accounts he did a decent job but I think anyone
could have succeeded if the
government
had given them the same $1.2 billion dollars that they
gave Mittens to smooth out the rough edges.
Yeah, $1.2 billion dollars. So it's not like he waded
through quicksand with a handful of magic beans and
a nice sturdy mop to save the day for the Olympics.
And what did we get for all that dough? Momentary diversion.
A two-week jingo-thon. End of story.
And, yes, I know referring to Bugville's proletariat
as "the 99%" is a bit of a cheat, but calling
them the "proletariat" sound so snobbish. Don't you
think?

Notes, Notes, and More Notes.
Good News: A watchdog group is encouraging
the FCC to revoke Rupert Murdoch's News Corp broadcasting
license, seeing as how they're lying, criminal
scumbags.
Sleaze: Does anyone else remember that Mitt Romney claimed to have lived
in his son's unfinished
basement, just so he could claim to be a resident of Massachusetts just
in case he decided to, oh, I dunno, run for president or something. This is
voter
fraud,
muchachos.
Science: Thioridazine, a
drug used to treat schizophrenia, seems to be able
to kill
cancer cells, too. And without side-effects.
This bears watching.
Heresy: Mike
Smith is running for the Georgia Legislature.
His platform includes outlawing gifts from lobbyists
and legalizing marijuana. Oh, and he's an atheist.
Humor: "President Obama has
spent more than all other presidents combined." -

2002-2013. Bush spent more every year. Obama doesn't. It's that simple.
