Looking for a specific Rage Comic and/or
Rant and can't find it?
Umbriago!
 No,
this will not be the last Mitt Romney sports metaphor
comic you'll see before the election is all said and
done. As Da Schnozz used to say "I got a million
of 'em!"
Too bad they all suck, though.

 I got
to recollecting the other day about the "Texas
secession" dust-up that gripped the Lone Star
State not so long ago. In the view of most folks
it was
just the Texas Tea Party's intolerant over-reaction
to a black
president.
But I think,
more than anything, it was the Republicans looking
into their crystal demographic balls and seeing Texas
becoming a dependably blue state within this decade,
some say
as soon as 2016, and all due to the burgeoning hispanic
population.
Such a thing would play havoc with future GOP chances
for president as Texas has 38 electoral votes in play.
That could be another reason we're hearing a smidgen
of "Get rid of the Electoral College"

 Saturday
morning I was out for a walk and passed by a local
garage sale from which I bought a brand-new-and-in-the-box
Clapper. ("Clap on! Clap off! The Clapper!")
That evening I took it with me to Beloved Girlfriend's
house and surreptitiously connected it
to a
lamp
in the media room.
After dinner we retreated to watch a recent anime find
and as we entered the media room I said "Let me get
the light for you, honey" and clapped my hands twice.
The light came on.
Now, most people know about the Clapper but few suspect
that an intimate acquaintance will sneak one into your
house and connect it to your lamps. So the rapid succession
of expressions that flashed across BG's face were
worth every penny of the two bucks I spent
on the
thing. It went from "What the hell?"
to "How did he do that?" to "Oh,
crap! It's a Clapper!"
Much laughter ensued.
We kept it connected all evening and found that it
tended to react to quick bursts of laughter in the
same way
it reacts to hand claps. It also turns off when you
toss a couple of anglo-saxonisms its way, too. That
was the most fun of all.

Oh,
That Mitt.
 Romney
blames Obama for his own outsourcing
of jobs to China.
---------
Mittens, in a clearly desperation move, suggests
that Obama is planning to remove
any mention of god from
our
money.
Oh,
if
it were
only
true.
------------------
What about Paul "Marathon Man" Ryan?
He's backpeddling frantically
denying voting for
something
he voted
for. In this
case it's defense cuts.
----------------
As for Ann Romney, it seems she
wasn't being entirely truthful at the RNC when she
spoke
about how tough
she and Mitt had it as young married folk (No kidding!)
. In her own words "Our
struggles have not been financial."
----------------
And,
finally, 11,000 show up to
see Barack Obama in Florida,
while only
a few hundred show up to see Mr. Romney in Virginia.

Mitt Romney: "Before we begin the tipping-off you ungainly
brutes should know that, some time ago, I invested
heavily
in your team and so was able to force management into
signing too many big-name players. Your team is now
bankrupt, you've all been sold to Oscar Mayer, and
I've got your pensions. I win."
