Thanks to Ralph and Craig for the heads-up.

I feel a whole lot better about Mitt Romney this morning.  I thought he wanted to take America back to the early 1950’s, but come to find out, he only wants to go back to the late 1950’s and the cold war.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev tweaked Mitt Romney for his characterization of Russia as the “No. 1 geopolitical foe” of the United States, saying the comments did not reflect the current relationship between the two countries. “It is very reminiscent of Hollywood and also of a certain phase in Russian-U.S. relations,” Medvedev said at the end of the nuclear security summit in South Korea Tuesday.

Mitt, Dude, you got pwned by Medvedev.

This means that both sides are laughing at you.

But instead of an arms race, maybe we could have a car-elevator race. Or maybe you could strap him to the top of your car and drive him to Canada.  That’ll show ’em!

Thanks to David for the heads up.

I belong to a group here locally called Silver Democrats.    We are a feisty bunch.

But we ain’t got nothing on this Democratic group.

We have already arranged dance lessons at our next meeting.  Join us if you can because if we don’t throw out a few hips, it won’t be worth the effort.

So there’s this guy named Eugene Delgaudio, who lives Virginia and accidentally got elected a Republican county supervisor.  I say accidentally because nothing this nifty could happen on purpose.

It seems that Eugene, who is another of those oh so hunky Republican men, makes his living running a scam fundraising operation called Public Advocate of the United States.  The reported purpose of this group is to fight the homosexual agenda.  Not shockingly, they do nothing else but raised money for … you got it, Eugene.

He pulled in a cool $1.2 million last year and used about a third of that money to raise more money so he could raise more money with the money he’s raising.  And, yes, Eugene pays himself a “management” salary of $172 grand a year.  Plus some other monies he undoubtedly enjoys.

Well, Eugene’s group ends up on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s list of hate groups, which Eugene is now using for publicity to raise more money.

The very nice folks over at Waking Up Now blog started trying to find some of the advocacy that Eugene’s group does.  They found this priceless You Tube of Eugene holding up traffic, waving a flag, and hollering at the White House.  They also have a heckuva story about it.

Here’s his website.

Don’t send him money.  He’s just gonna use it to buy bad ties and hold up traffic.

Thanks to Jim for the heads up.

I just wanna say one thing.  Just one damn thing.

He's got nothing on me in the hissy fit department

If this court pulls another Bush v. Gore or Citizen’s United on the Affordable Health Care Act, I’m gonna blow a poop storm that  Zeus, a septic tank the size of Del Rio, and 5 Navajo rain dancers couldn’t match.

How can five people be so deadbutt set on destroying America?  Haven’t they already used up their allotment of horrible decisions?

I’m just warning ya.  That is all.

Hey Buddy, can you spare a dime?

I have to admit that I’m gonna miss Newt Gingrich.  He never wanted to be President.  He just wanted to debate Barack Obama for like, I dunno, twenty hours or something and try to beat him up. That’s really kind of sad.  Newt’s not near as good a debate as he thinks he is.

But, it appears that Gingrich is going to be out of this race pretty soon.  He’s now charging people to take their picture with him.

In a sign that his campaign is in need of fresh funds, Newt Gingrich began charging $50 to have a photograph taken with him following a campaign speech, National Journal reports.

“It was the first time that the former House speaker has charged those attending one of his public speaking events to pose for a photograph with him.”

Fifty bucks?  Heck, even Hub Caps, our local burlesque dancer, charges $100.

Fifty bucks doesn’t go very far at Tiffany’s, Newt.
