Women reject Mitt Romney’s harassment claims
Three unidentified women joined the ranks of those who insist they’ve never been sexually harassed by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney on Tuesday, despite claims by the candidate that he might have acted inappropriately towards them in the past.

“People might think of me as a stick in the mud, but I can be quite a jokester sometimes. No seriously, I really mean that,” Romney said in reaction. “It’s possible I might’ve said something that was misconstrued as sexual harassment in the past, we just haven’t found anyone to make that claim yet.”

The move is an unusual one for Romney. While a clean-cut image is typically seen as an asset, especially for someone trying to attract Republican primary voters, Romney has been trying to tarnish his image ever since rival Herman Cain became wracked by allegations of sexual harassment. So far, the allegations against Cain have had a contrarian effect by making it easier for the former pizza executive to raise funds.

Since then, the Romney campaign has tried unsuccessfully to find former colleagues or staffers to whom the former governor might have said something remotely offensive or off-color. The three women on Tuesday were only identified as having worked for Romney when he was governor and later on his campaign staff.

5. Every other dog sticks its head out of the window of the car

I've seen dogs on motorcycles and dogs in the beds of pickup trucks.

I've seen dogs in the cargo holds of airplanes.

Just what are the details of this dog thing anyway?
