Stop it.
Author: Raine    Date: 10/01/2012 14:13:34

 
Stop it. This is hard. You want to try it? Get in the ring. This is hard and, you know, it’s an important thing that we’re doing right now and it’s an important election and it is time for all Americans to realize how significant this election is and how lucky we are to have someone with Mitt’s qualifications and experience and know-how to be able to have the opportunity to run this country.”
Ann Romney, to her Republican critics on how her Husbands campaign has been going.

Maybe that should be Ryan - Romney voters. Either way, here is what they look and sound like:

I'm in a rut
Author: TriSec    Date: 09/29/2012 11:50:30

Well, I've got nothing interesting today.

I've got about 5 things could write about on my clipboard, but they're all falling under the certain "sameness" of things we've been talking about for weeks.

I suppose it has reached that silly season; there's not many more weeks left to the general election, and we're down to Obama looking Presidential, and Romney not. There's only so many things I can say about that without falling into parrot-mode.

So...it's raining around here today, but if you're in a sunnier area of the northern tier, it might be heading towards peak foliage season. (I'd say we have about another 10 days or so in this area.)

So get out there and look at some leaves...then buy some cider and apples from the locals!

Smells Like Team Spirit
Author: BobR    Date: 09/26/2012 14:21:31

I've said it before and I'll say it again: This election should have been extremely difficult for President Obama to win. With unemployment levels remaining at an uncomfortable level, the Republican candidate should have been able to make hay out of the current economic situation. The problem of course is that Mitt Romney became that candidate, and is not exactly selling his economic plan to the country, especially when he is so grossly out of touch with 47% of it (many of whom would normally be inclined to vote for him).

Paul Ryan was supposed to help bring some youth, experience, gravitas, and energy to the campaign. He has done none of those things. The problem with Paul Ryan is that he too has spent his political life in a bubble; for him: Congress. There he was lauded and coddled by other Republicans who liked his take-no-prisoners economic approach (or - more accurately - save-no-poor-people economic approach). The gory details of his plan (scant as they are) are appalling to most people once they consider the ramifications.

TMZ news
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 09/23/2012 12:57:13

What? It's no better or worse than FOX news.

Sure, I get some of my news from them. Just because they are sleazy and overbearing doesn't make them wrong. On occasion, they do get things right. Weren't they right about Lindsay Lohan?

You can tell just by looking
Author: TriSec    Date: 09/22/2012 12:43:57

Good Morning.

So, while I may have missed it, apparently Senator Brown debated challenger Elizabeth Warren in a controlled setting earlier in the week.

Despite all the issues going on, both locally and nationally, when Senator Brown was given the first question, the tack he took was right out of the birther playbook.

"The professor said she is a Native American, a person of color, and you can see she's not."

That's very prescient of our mercurial Senator. I wonder what other things he can tell just by looking?
