Here's the funny thing! When one contemplates the complete and utter devolution of the Republican party in the last fifty years. it is instructive to remember this: As hideously incompetent as Mitt Romney is, of all the nitwits and kooks who sought the nomination during the primaries - he was the best of the bunch; the cream of the crop! That is a party that has found itself rotting at the bottom of the ideological sewer. They should never again be trusted by reasonable and enlightened people with the governance of our nation. I'm just sayin'.
When the video surfaced of Mitt's little "chat" with a closed audience of plutocratic investors, I couldn't help but wonder if the man has been paying attention to the developments in video technology that have been going on in recent years. Fifty-two years ago during the campaign of 1960, when Jack Kennedy or Dick Nixon spoke at a private fundraiser, it's a pretty safe bet that they knew those events would be "closed" They would have easily been able to spot any recording device. Back in the day it was not possible to hide a television or film camera. Some of them weighed so much that they were nicknamed "the thousand pound pencils". Even an audio tape recorder was a bulky, cumbersome affair. Today a video camera can literally fit int...

What is the matter with him? Is it ignorance? Is it arrogance? Yo, Mitt! What gives, baby?

When Roger Simon wrote in Politico Wednesday that Paul Ryan's new nickname for Mitt Romney is "Stench," a number of news outlets — from MSNBC to Mediaite — took it seriously.
Simon told BuzzFeed: "Some people always don't get something, but I figured describing PowerPoint as having been invented to euthanize cattle would make the satire clear. I guess people hate PowerPoint more than I thought."
Bryan is bad apple in Washington and part of the problem.
You know you're a loser when...
1. Your dog would rather rub up against the wall than have you tie it to the top of the car.
2. All the numbers in your little black book start with "1-900" but you've never called.
3. Due to excessive hazing and ridicule, you stop wearing your magic underwear.
4. You were almost involved in a threesome, but your left hand fell asleep.
5. Fantasizing out loud before falling asleep is your idea of "pillow talk."
6. Your wife is known for complaining that "It's hard" but nobody takes it the wrong way.
7. Your campaign ad reads: "Anybody but Obama - I'm Anybody"
7. Your phone number is tagged by the Press Corps as "Who cares?"
8. You look forward to the dinner time robocalls.
9. The last time you were invited to a party, it was the Republican Party
10. You spent last summer following around the 2012 Bible Belt RomneyTour.

Roger Simon? Who listens to Roger Simon? He's been in the mud all his life. Get a grip.
defeat. Ryan will fade into obscurity where he belongs.
