Mitt's "47% Tapes"--The Missing 2 Minutes
Much has been made of the missing 2 minutes of the now-infamous May fundraiser at which Mittens let his true personality show. What actually happened was a short break in the proceedings for an old-fashioned hymn sing! How festive!
Jesus loves me, this I know
My bank balance tells me so
Platinum cards and Cadillacs
Livin' large on poor folks' backs
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
My broker tells me so
Real Clear Politics is starting to piss me off!
Is it RCP or Drudge Report?
RCP is *supposed* to be a "balanced" selection of links to political news and opinions of the day. I counted yesterday afternoon's selections, 7 out of 11 were from the Repug side. Every time I'm feeling really good about this election, like Friday AM after the convention, just go to RCP and have your hopes dashed.
At least I've learned which publications lean which way. Sometimes it's interesting (and revolting) to see how the other side thinks. Especially the comments section.
If RCP is a true reflection of our nation I'm discouraged.
Photoshop help wanted
Or if someone already did this please reply & share thanks!
A pic of George W. Bush, standing at a podium giving a speech. The caption:
Hey Republicans! Did I miss this part of your convention?
Or something similar.
I'm at work & can't reply for a few hours but thanks in advance!!
38 years ago today...
Some of us are old enough to remember.
Richard M. Nixon became the only President ever to resign from office.
I was a few weeks away from starting my freshman year of college and leaving home for the first time. My parents were teachers and were home, and I remember watching the speech with them and watching Nixon board the plane and do his final "victory salute" or whatever that gesture was.
I was only 17 and not really interested in politics, and had been tuning out the whole Watergate thing for months. But I also remember a feeling of profoundness at watching history being made.
After the speech I went to my room and turned on the radio. This song was playing:
Come on people, now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Anyone else have memories of that day?
