Mitt Romney Thinks He’s Better Than You, Continued

11:59 pm EST November 24th, 2007 | News | 7 Comments

Oh, for the love of God, somebody tell the modern-day Eddie Haskell that the rest of us live in the real world and not the monochrome fairyland he was coddled in.

Following his “Ask Mitt Anything” event in Amherst, Mitt Romney told voters and reporters that presidential candidates should refrain from discussing with young people their early life “indiscretions.”

The former Massachusetts Governor’s statements were a response to Sen. Barack Obama’s visit to a Manchester high school Tuesday where he told students he was a “goof off” in high school and had experimented with drugs and alcohol.

“I agree with the sentiment that nobody’s perfect and most of us, if not all of us, in our youthful years have engaged in various indiscretions we wouldn’t want to have paraded in the front of a newspaper,” Romney said. “On the other hand if we’re running for president, I think it’s important for us not to go into details about the weaknesses and our own failings as young people for the concern that we open kids thinking that it’s ok for them.”

Romney is kind of like the dad who never tells his kids about sex, going no further than the stork story then is surprised when his daughter comes home knocked up. Sen. Obama is like the dad who is actually, you know, being a dad and doing the right thing.

I haven’t seen any national political signs since I’ve been in Atlanta the last four days. But I’ve seen a couple for Ron Paul.

Mitt Romney Thinks He’s Better Than You

This, more than the flip-flopping and the pandering, is what I think is Mitt Romney’s biggest flaw. The presidential election is not a race for National Dad. And even if it is, we’re not collectively going to vote for the dad who is a dick.

Hugh Hewitt Slams Maryland, Look For Maryland’s Population To Increase

3:12 am EST November 22nd, 2007 | News | 18 Comments

Hugh Hewitt, who has the distinction of always being wrong about everything (he wrote a book edited by a plagiarist called “Painting the Map Red”, about a permanent Republican majority in the same year that the GOP historically lost the House and Senate) has one of his wacky readers write in to say that the net effect of Gov. O’Malley’s successful session in the assembly will be flight from Maryland. Yes, people are just running away from Maryland’s high-performing schools, access to top-tier jobs and proximity to some of the leading colleges, universities, think tanks, and the like.

Run away!

(And Hewitt’s post somehow ties this in to an eventual Hillary Clinton presidency. Yes, I have a pro-MD bias, but I think if you were to ask most Americans if the rest of the country could be run as well as MD is, you’d have a landslide in favor. A beautiful place to raise a family? OH NOES.)

The people of Silver Spring, MD suffer under the yoke of Democratic leadership:

Thanksgiving Heretic

9:52 pm EST November 20th, 2007 | Uncategorized | 6 Comments

As we move into Thanksgiving mode here (on the morrow I depart to Hotlanta, GA to see my family), I should note that while I love Thanksgiving – especially the Macy’s parade which I’ve never seen in person but will, soon – I hate turkey. It takes forever to get down and then digest. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

But ham and candied yams…

Well, I didn’t become a Sears Husky through magic, you know.
