Doom II

I dislike comparing Mitt Romney to Ebenezer Scrooge as The Christmas Carol was a tale of true redemption. Whereas Mitt is sailing into his golden years on a douchebag speed-run. He is, after all, vying for the presidency for no other reason than just to BE president. He stands for nothing except what the bean-counters say will be most advantageous at any particular instant, and is running as a Republican, even though deep inside he certainly finds their economic policies absurd, because the Democrats wouldn't have him.

Personal Triumph One: I have finally vanquished the horrible ingrown toenail beast, even though it had fortified itself with the mutant juices of a strange and exotic foot fungus. I now have model-quality pedal extremities again and will show them off for complete strangers at the drop of a $20 bill.

Personal Triumph Two: I'm on loaf #5 of the Bread-Machine Summer Extravaganza Experiment 2012. I'm am so enjoying this.

Personal Triumph Three: Sable, the cat, successfully survived hip-repair surgery. Now follows 6-8 weeks of forced immobility.

Oh, That Mitt.

It was a really dumb move for Mitt Romney to denounce half the population of America as moochers but don't get mad at him. He was just channeling the GOP.

The most entertaining analysis of the Romney speech I've found starts here.

The stock market is up 10% since Mitt Romney said the market would tank on the prospect of an Obama victory. And, hey, remember when Dick "Happyboy" Cheney said our country would be attacked if Obama was elected president? Yesh, that makes Republican prognosticators zero-for-3,169. Conservatively speaking.

Jon Stewart says "Oh, yeah?" about Romney's 47%.

It's time for Mitt Romney to prove he pays taxes.

------------------

7000 millionaires paid no taxes in 2011. And 35,000 households making over $200,000 paid no taxes, either.
